I'm basing it n the info so far and a fair guess (especially since there's no slated release even of the lps outside the US).
This was my prob with NPGMC too - I felt like I was gonna b paying fo something a large part of which I'd never use. I think ther should be 2 differently priced options - one with the concert perks, and one without...
Then I'd probably even join (never joined NPGMC...)

I don't want photos .... what am I supposed to do with them.

Prince ... YOU ARE NOT MADONNA, who has her photos in every magazine.

The 21 Nights in London book was not a big succes.

Sounds "Exclusive".

OTOH he may have noticed the success of pix threads on sites like this (and may not have noticed that they always predominate when there's a dearth of new music...)

I'm excited by the chance to get concert tickets in advance of public sales, or to "secret" shows...

It's interesting though, in all its mentions of exclusive content it speaks specifically about photos and videos, but not music (audio). Video I may be interested in if it can be saved and put in DVD format... photos? meh

well, i 4 one will b soaking up all the purple rays that p wants 2 shine down upon us. after all, unless i missed a meeting, the njoyment of his creativity and unique persona is the base objective 4 many of us. after 30 + years of music, i think p has paid his dues 2 evry1. 'be glad 4 what u got' should perhaps b emblazened on the back of the t-shirt being given out !

I wonder how much on the site will be available if you don't pay? Will you be able to see more than a black screen, text, photos, news.... Is everything exclusive for those who pay or just things like tickets and material to watch/hear/download....?

Just got an update about this press release:

the old press release says there will be 3 shows March 24th around town. It will actually be the 28th now. (locations still TBD.)

very true.

At least this is an honest representation of what you will get on the site. No promises of "10 unreleased albums" or any of the highly coveted 80s material. I will wait and see what those who post here give as a review and then decide to join.

PS. The only thing that I would complain about is:

"exclusive content that will only be available in the first week of the site launch and may never become available again."

that is an obvious baiting tactic that could be seen as sneaky by some folks.

Oh no, he ain't jackin' me again. How dare he after telling me lifetime membership and charging me $125 and cancelling the club, I'm infuriated now. the original members should be juiced in 4 free: cram ur club prince!

punkofthemonth said:

damn, I guess he'll be getting my $77 then..... the things I do for you Prince.

I'm confident that the new site will offer very little besides the new albums.

I couldn't give a shit about photo's.

I don't want just snippets of concerts I want the whole thing and mostly would hope for unreleased music.

Why hasn't he come out and said exactly what we will be getting?

Surely alot of this has been decided on.

If he came out after a few months once you've digested the new music I will start adding new music to the site some of this will be from the vault, then I would sign up like a shot.

It's the same old same old, like including Horny pony as a club down load and 4 songs from One nite alone that was then part of the next years fee, and putting the dance on Slaughterhouse and the only way to get it was to download songs you may well have already paid for.

I still think he makes quality music but I'm sure he knows what he's doing when it comes to the hardcore fans in terms of getting the most out of us for as little as possible.

Sounds like a good trick to make everyone (rush) subscribe in the first week...

But anyways, as long as I can get some (more than one... and full registrations hopefully) high quality concert recordings from the site to put on my iphone or blast through my hifi, I'll be happy

I wonder how long Prince will stick with this site, he has been known to drop abandoned things seemingly out of nowhere.

I sure hope no one jumped the gun and booked flights for the 24th!

no one has mentioned the 3 diff bands; any info on the players

FrankieDJ said:

I have to agree- those people got completely screwed last time and should be waived the first years' dues fo' sho'.

I myself have my $77 set aside- it's gonna be ramin noodles for me for the rest of the month, but I gotta have that t-shirt! Ug. Priorities....

But what time? Will it be 12am on 3/24 LA time? Someone out there has to know-- C'mon- give up the goods!!!

I'm definitely in and I can't wait to see what the new website looks like. I've joined every time he has had a site/membership and I have never been disappointed in the content(downloads,tickets,sound checks,etc). Sounds like fun to me and a t-shirt too. I need an XXL t-shirt, I like wear it loose. I hope they have a variety of sizes available.

I didn't think DiscoJellyfish was on any of the cds. But from reading the press release it appears that it is on MplSound.

One thing is for certain, he must read the org because many people have been asking what they will get for the $77 membership fee. Today he made if pretty clear what you will receive while still keeping some of it a surprise.

<----- Yep that's how I feel right now.

And don't forget the T-shirt

I'm glad that this press release didn't have the usual "4"s. "Eye"s and other Princebonics of yore. Much appreciated.



That's news. Although, possibly incorrect.




OK. I'd probably look at these. Once. $77 still safe in the lock-box.




All well and good if a tour is even imminent. What if he doesn't come to your area? Not a selling point for me.




More videos. These will most likely be imbedded, lo-res and again, watched once out of curiosity.




You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.




Nothing that won't show up here 10 seconds later.




That's a whole lotta bait right there. Never available again? This is cyberspace, fella... ain't nothing, nothing I say, that's "never available again".




I like t-shirts as much as the next guy, but this doesn't really sweeten the pot.




WTF? Photos? Photos?

What happened to the reason we all became fans?

Where is the music in this press release? We will buy the CDs from Target. What is the selling point of this website if there is not going to be music? Did Mani get the combination to the Vault in the divorce decree?

I'm not a hater. I'm a fan of the music. This eye candy is giving my yawn muscles a workout.

Oh, I just looked where you live. Yeah I can't see him visiting Israel..

Although to state that nearly NO ONE will get their $s worth before you even know what you're going to get is beyond me.
