NPGMC Year 3. Members can join and recieve all the music as long as we promise to pay him the hundred bucks sometime between now and the end of the year.

You think he would go for that? You think he would appreciate us waiting till the last minute to send it to him? You think he would be civil if the check got lost in the mail? You think he would appreciate rude replies from us and a runaround with phony tracking numbers?

You think he's a fool ??

Excellent point.

If only you had the power...
Sorry you had a bum-experience

I have
-received 4(+1) excellent CDs
-downloaded 14 great tracks (XPECTATION plus the soundcheck tracks and Empty Room as you all know)
-attended 2 fantastic concerts (best seats)
with soundchecks (very entertaining)
and club parties afterwards (saving 40 bucks)

I´m a fan since 1988 and to me it has been one of the best (if not the best) Prince-years ever.
I´m really satisfied and I hope that there will be an NPGMC Year 3.

By the way:
To recieve the music sometime between now and the end of the year hasn´t been a problem at all to me.
Why should it bother me in the future?

Not one of my NPGMC items got lost in the mail.
I have mailed them several times and have never ever received rude replies.

The point is people paying a year in advance for something. If this is an "experiment in truth" and all that other mumbo jumbo, then why couldn't it perhaps go the other way?

All your experiences last year cost you several hundred dollars, not one hundred.

Fantastic none of your orders were screwed up with NPGMC, but does that erase the numerous other people on here who it has happened to?

what does that make the members then?

NPGMCsucks said:

Fair point.

for those who would like some insight on how prince allegedly works, there is an hysterical transcript of kevin smith talking about working with prince here: http://www.prince.org/msg...&tid=34410

it's the funniest thing i've seen on here in a looong time. and, it does kinda explain why things are...unpredictable at the NPGMC

prince ya big fat weirdo. we love you, we do

OOH... cold shit, cold shit...

I agree with Mr Happy, 2002 was the best Prince year ever.
I don't know how anyone could expect more.

MrHappy said:

fully agree with you - it was one of the best prince-years ever (i am a fan since 1983)!!

thanx for your statement!!!

NPGMCsucks said:

I'm glad someone sees the real "Truth". If what was expected of members was expected of Prince instead, he wouldn't have it.

Whats so hard about releasing a CD and selling it through the site normally? Whats with all this buy in bulk stuff anyhow?

Not everyone can get their 100 bucks worth, so why should we all pay the same to get any new music from Prince?

Sounds like he doesn't care about reasonable options for his, all he sees are $$$ signs.

Try and borrow money from a bank or a credit card and you pay interest. Prince gets to borrow money from his fans interest free to fund the eventual release to retail each year.

You got that right. Thank you!

netzverwalter said:

Both of you avoided the question and just stated your opinion of the value of the club instead.

Would Prince accept waiting a year to get paid for his CDs, much like we're supposed to wait a year to get the music after we pay?

Would he seek legal action against YOU if you're supposed to pay him but the check never arrives in his mailbox and you keep giving him the runaround?

Can you answer these? because it goes both ways.

Some people here should calm down and really stop taking statements to their extremes... I perfectly understand that some people feel ripped because of their own interpretation of things bu c'mon be realistic and less fanatic... I'm perfectly happy with the club and I wish it goes on and on and on...
