There are 12 months in a year & we were promised 4 new cd's 4 R $100 membership fee.Do the math-4 divided into 12=3,so we should expect 1 cd every 3 months.Instead it's been 4 months and nothing! I guess as club paying members we can all wait till December 2 get all 4!(lol) I propose that all members start flooding NPGMC with E-mails all day,everyday with questions & demands 2 where R cd's R!

I propose we all have patience and realize this is Prince we're dealing with. The 2nd year started mid-February. It's now almost May 1st. May 15th will mark the 3 months. My God, at LEAST wait until THEN to start complaining.

They did say in the beginning they expected the first one to ship mid-March. Since then they haven't said anything, have they?

I wish they would, I'm waiting for that to happen before I join!

I think patience is key here. No reason to get upset until its the last month and they have not delivered. We are promised 4 for the year. They have 9 months to make good on that promise. Cut them some slack. I am still skeptical on one of those proposed cd's "The Last December"... hoping its not one of those Beautiful Experience EP-like remix cd's. But alas, we won't know until we get it, right? So lets just chill.


And this "Do The Math" thing has to stop.

Fuck! Is this all you tards can think about???

I must be wierd or something b/c when the CD comes in the mail, I'll be like, "Oh yea! COOL!" I ain't losing sleep over this shit. How long you been twiddling your thumbs, dying to start this thread??? DAMN! Get a life!!!

Maybe I'll jump on this bandwagon when it's November & I can barely recall what Xenophobia sounds like, over the PA system at the Oakland show, how beautiful Avalanche sounded, how pure P's voice was, and how Maceo... oh, shit, I got lost... Anyway, the year ain't NEARLY over - find a distraction folks. Put your thumb up your ass & soothe yourself!

:O

Here's an idea: stop using Pricnebonics.

Here's another: post stuff in the CORRECT FORUM.

This is old and boring news. NPGMC never gave exact dates, so what are you bitchin about? He is currently on tour kicking everyones ass with the funk, and honestly getting a CD in the mail is not even on my mind with the soundchecks, concerts and celebration. We get the CDs when we get em. If you like doing math, here is an equation for you. We are to get 4 CDs. There are 8 months left in the year. 8/4=2. that means they could start getting CDs out in the next TWO months and be on schedule. So i propose we don't flood them with emails demanding something as idiotic as this request. Instead, why not email them and thank them for taking over the sale of tix from ticketmaster! A lot easier and no extra charges!

He has mentioned recently that they will release something within days.

I think he may even send out two cds at once later in the year. I still can not understand how he is planning to send us all these deliverys and w/o us paying for the shipping unless he has a deal or soemthing.

Anyhow... for us Canadians, the membership is a whopping $160 !!
However, like I always said, if he really does release cds of aftershows, or DVDs - I will gladly pay agaiin !!!

I'm sorry if you feel i'm impatient & i'll reply to a few of your rude comments,first -January was the last time you got anything from npgmc(not Feb.),so it's been three months.sorry about the "princebonics" or "pric-ebonics" as bart likes to say(you can see what's on his mind).now i will quit being rude & explain unlike alot of you i've gotten nothing so far for my money,No concert(was going to one,but as usual p changed his mind & dates)(third time in last two concert tours & years),no soundcheck & no afterparty.now before you all jump on me for "whining" just put yourself in my spot-thanks for listening & maybe one day some of you will learn it's sometimes feels good not to insult everybody

HEY! ENOUGH ALREADY!

I'm in Sydney, Australia...consider this;

I cannot attend a ONA show, soundcheck OR an afterparty...

It cost me $200 Australian $$$ to join year 2 of the NPGMC...

Hell...i'm practically selling my house 2 attend Celebration 2002...

It pisses me off when i see fams in the US bitching about this and that - at least you CAN see PRINCE live unlike the INTERNATIONAL fams..,

All we got is PRINCE.ORG..so please - keep it positive and remember what we're all here 4...

yeah U tell them Derek!

the international famz r the ones who really should b complaining:
- no ONA tour yet;
- Xpensive Celebration in June;
- still waiting 4 the CD´s.

..and here's an idea for you: learn to spell 'prince..'

I live in the UK and therefore have not had the benefit of a live experience since 1988, so am hopeful that he will attend this year and make my club membership worthwhile.

As for the CD's, we were promised at least 4 in the year. As I see it, there have been nearly 3 months, that leaves 9 whole months to get the CD's to us, so I don't think we need to panic just yet.

Somebody asked how they were affording to pay for the CD's considering they were stumping up the postage. Does anybody think that postage is actually free?!? Think about it.... In the UK $100 = approx £68. That makes £17 per CD, if there are only 4. For the Rainbow Children, I paid £9.99 including postage and that was an import and not from Paisley Park, so some middlemen have made something somewhere!! That means there is £7.01 left for postage if the CD costs Prince £9.99 to produce, which is not possible. Therefore they have postage well covered, even if shipping internationaly and undoubtedly they will have some kind of discount rates for volume shipping.

Finally a question...

Someone mentioned a CD title of "The Last December", where did this title come from? I have heard nothing from NPGMC regarding this.

Miko said:

When was it ever said that there would be one CD every three months? They said you would get at least 4 CDs by the end of 2002. I would not look for anything before mid-summer, when I'd expect that ONA and Xenophobia (and possibly others) will be sent together.

Prince has so much shit in the vault--the cd is probably already done! So what is taking so long?

Im confident they'll send it all b4 the end of the year.....cuz if they dont there will be hell 2 pay...but Im still curious what the delay is. I thought he had tons of stuff he was dying 2 let us hear?

Stiiiil Waaaaiting.....

I've removed the original post's idiotic use of bold, so...

dendmmr said:

Whew. Thought that one up all by yourself?



So everyone imagines those news items I submitted? Not to forget several improvements to the Org which Ben implemented after I mentioned them (thereby showing up those that complained about my original post as the sorry losers they are)?



No he wasn't, you blind bat. This was posted originally in the prince.org discussion, and only after I remarked this and complained about Ben about it, the NPGMC forum was created.

Did Bart Van Hemelen really say:



I guess someone is looking for a big pat on the back. Poor unappreciated Bart. Did you know he invented the internet?

ZaZa said:

Hey! I'll have one of those too please I asked the MODS to move a couple of threads discussing the NPGMC, I half jokingly asked them to create a forum devoted to NPGMC issues, two days later there it was. I'm sure other people suggested it too. Pats on the back for everyone!

Yes I'm sure other people suggested a new forum be displayed but the point is only after Bart complained was something done.
Only Bart has that much influence.
Don't kid yourself.

You're right ZaZa I'm sorry
All Hail Bart

Finally a question...

This title and the other 3,"One Nite Alone", "Xenophobia" & "The Best Of 0(+>" are mentioned in the tour program
in an ad for the NPGMC.

well hopefully the cd's will b shipped by mid march... or at least one.. not because fans are crybabies, its just good 4 the company to ship stuff out and have satisfied customers... and to make sure people will join next year,,

and eye would LOVE 4 them 2 send them in bundles

Prince took your money & is now laughing at you.
