No, Prince signed a publishing deal with Universal a few years back now.

Warner Bros might own the masters to many of his songs, but Prince is still entitled to collect publishing monies. He has therefore cut a deal with Universal to collect said monies for which they will undoubtedly recieve a share.

This promotional webpage was put up a short while ago (at which time a link was posted here.)

VERY nice promo page, though - damn. And Xpectation clips? There's almost more goodies on this page than at NPGMC...!

The fact there's art for a CD there makes me wonder if they're gearing up to release Xpectation on CD... I hope so, I thought those samples were wonderful.

Sooner or later the NPGMC music hopefully will get a proper release. When kept exclusive and in small print or mp3, the goods are resold by bootleg price jackers and/or ebaying fishermo prayin on fish (and I guess thats cool if you have the time to fuck around with ebay shit! fuck that). I'm starting to view the releases as 'you hear it first' vs 'you the club members only get the goods'. Sometimes being a P fan can be expensive, but the money spent on this year membership equals 2 extra large pizzas. IMO some fans are more interested in the releases being 'exclusive' to the club cuz you can jack the goods. So I personally never could spit at an official release! Course we are only you know...dreaming about this release cause it hasn't even been a confirmed release yet!!!
