Hello everybody,

I joined only recently but got my emails answered through the last two years almost everytime in a short period of time. I never had any reason to moan. When I had difficulties to log on I got help almost minutes after I sent out my question.

Regarding the CD's I am just patiently waiting and do not see any reason why I should raise hell like some of u are considering right now.

Do u remember Crytal Ball - I was surprised by the fact that it contained "The Truth" to me possibly the best recording of Prince. This was an add on to me.

So why do u have no trust?

Believers, Supporters are joining the club and are happy with it. The other should think about what that small company has build over the past years comparing to others and what kind of service we get additionally to music.

Peace

Stefan Manzow, Hamburg alias Juize

One quick question, you mentioned that you "joined recently", why? The membership for NPGMC started in February of 2002.

you work for them too don't you !

NPGMC is in damage control,
this is the 3rd email of this type in the last hour ...

even if some1 joins the day b4 The NPGMC Membership ends they'LL still get all 4CDs won't they?

i think that's the POINT 4 some Famz. 2 get the Music u won't b able 2 find anywhere else.

unless it's a BURNER copy or an Ebay.Com bought CD that some1 else BURNT & sold or what have u...


i'm JOININ Next Year (if there is a Next year)...

see next thread sorry!

No I do not work for them allthough I would like to, but I live in Hamburg Germany and Paisley Park is far.

Maybe it is like that: When u are kind to someone, the kindness comes back to u? If u are genrally kind then it can happen that u make 99% kind experience, true?

I think some of us so called fans are a pain in the ass of someone who is just playing guitar and while doin' that kickin' a company like AOL-Time Warner in the ass by sliding out of a 100 Mill. US $ contract simply by changing his name and delivering to them as many albums the contract needed and plus that is what I believe collecting the 100 Million US $. so now are u on the line, what are u doing?

Just keep in mind the number of recordings this man released during the last ten years plus the ones we do not know, cause there might be a STARR-Company or Joey Coco on the run...And I do say that I have been treated fair and absolutely correct in business with this club so far.

It is not cheap but there will come a refund for 100 greens!



Peace

Stefan

I agree with you, Juize. The complaining is usually childish, and rarely constructive (sometimes it is...). We're just talking about entertainment here. If you paid $1000 for surgery in a hospital, and they gave you aspirin instead, then you have a right to be furious and make allegations of unfair treatment. But we paid $100 for 4 CD's, and that's what we're getting. Why was it fair in February, but now it's unfair in November? And why is it so important in your life? Try to be happy with the decisions you make in life, don't blame others for your own mistakes (if you feel joining the club was a mistake).

Problem is some fans had unrealistic expectations back in Feb. & as the months have gone on the real picture sets in & the mind produces chaos. If someone started Feb. believing:
A - Exclusive cds
B - 4 separate cds delivered at 4 different times evenly spread out thru the year
c - 4 cds with all brand new material
well then that person is going to be very unhappy.
unrealistic expectations + reality = a lot of bitching

Expectations generated by false advertising:

A, B and C were published OVER AND OVER AGAIN on the website! we all saw it.. and that is the reality.



* the hypno toad rolls his eyes

I guees some people are miffed as they shelled out $100 for ona + ona live ... which they can buy in their record store b4 Xmas for just over half the price.
Totally justifiable miffedness really ... and not childish... just sorta sad
