This may be some JW thing he was told to do by Larry. To take care of the sins in his past. Maybe he would either have a big bonfire or roll over booty with a steam roller. I wouldn't put it past him. Remember when certain Christians used to burn books?

maybe we as fans should just help him win this case. i think everybody can afford to send 1 cd, no? i will!

there's one

I just checked Tower.com and you can still buy some of these (Erotic City/I Would Die 4 U #7599-21185-2 is $10.99). Why don't they just buy them?

Huge lawsuit? You really gonna pay attorney fees to get $25 back? Class action maybe, but probably not worth it. Anyway, site seems to be back up, although the U Tell Us section looks like it's on lock down for now.

BTW, wasup with all the outrage in this thread? (not Lovemachine's post) IMO, it was definitely a stupid request, especially as it was originally framed, but some (not all) of ya'll act like Prince just shot your dog or something. There's a little nuttiness on both sides of this if you ask me. And no, I ain't sending in anything.

The outrage is all due to Prince being such an asshole. We've supported him for so many years and now he has the nerve to ask us to send him our CD's which we paid a lot of money for, and get nothing in return. He would be flipping burgers if it wasn't for us, so he should show a little respect.

yah! he's such a big jerk I hate em! (shh...don't tell anyone but...I'll still be here tomorrow and the next day and the next day) he's so mean!

EvilWhiteMale said:

Evil, I hate to break it to you but, newsflash, Prince can be an ass. I figured that out in 1984, but I just wanted the tunes so wtf did I care?

So they asked for some voluntarily sent CD's and apparently most people said no. My CD collection hasn't gotten any smaller since yesterday, so I again I personally can't get my blood boiling over this one, but hey that's just me. Still if you feel outraged about this then go for it.

maybe Prince can start here...

Man...it was fun scrolling through this thread.


Prince /Fam



It's official Prince is one crazy motherfucker.

The only thing I want to send back is the free cassette copy I got of TC Ellis's crap debut.

I know it is hard for you to do any sort of deep thinking but, let me suggest a few things.

1) Maybe Prince wants the CD to help make a legal case against WB. There have been case's were record companies defrauded artist by not paying them the proper roylaties for CD that the artist sold over the course of their contract. I do not know if this is what the e-mail is about but, perhaps that is the case.

2) Maybe he wants to compile these items to put out some sort of box set respective of his career.

3) Maybe you and everyone else should find something else to do with your time. Instead of hanging out at this site all day and ranting about a person you do not even know.
It is obvious that most people are not going to send anything so why are you getting your underware in a twist over the matter.

My take is that this to shall pass and in a few weeks the nay sayers will be right back on this site.

You are more worried about Prince being a JW than anyone else on this site (LOL) Get over it. It is called religious freedom.

Only nutbag Christians burned books. All Christians are not nutbags.

It looks like Prince is on a bit of a mission.

First of all, I never insulted you before, ever. So there's no need to start shit. Debate my comments if you like, but be a fucking adult.

He already has the CD's. He just wants people to lose their copies. Look, he has personally gone to stores and has literally taken his bootleged CD's from the racks and walked out the door. He has more boots than his biggest fans. This whole thing is a scam.

2) Maybe he wants to compile these items to put out some sort of box set respective of his career.

Are you serious? My darling, he has everything in his vault, plus unofficial live stuff that's been on the market.

3) Maybe you and everyone else should find something else to do with your time. Instead of hanging out at this site all day and ranting about a person you do not even know.

I'm not losing sleep over this, and no one else is either. It's a topic worth discussing. You just don't like people to say negative things about Prince.

My take is that this to shall pass and in a few weeks the nay sayers will be right back on this site.

No one is leaving this site now. The good thing about this site is that we're all free to discuss all issues, positive and negative.

You're right. Some people have a sickness where they feel they have to obey Prince's every wish. He won't get the amount of boots he wants, but he'll get a few from the suckers out there.

I just wish enough people would just stop suppoting him until he gets his shit together. The lack of income can make a person change everything.

NPGMC Forum: U Tell Us

Announcement: NOTICE - PaisleyPark9

Posted: 23 Mar 2003

Perhaps this notice will clear up any confusion brought on by the CAUSE emale u received recently. Not long ago, an UNauthorized version of the concert film SIGN O THE TIMES surfaced online. Supposedly originating in Brazil and distributed by WEA International- this DVD is not something that was approved by Prince or any of his affiliates. Enuff is enuff...

We all know that Prince is one of the most bootlegged artists of his generation and while much of this activity is tolerated, it crosses the line when Prince's 4mer record company who is entrusted 2 steward his catalogue gets in the mix.

The CAUSE emale is a simple request 2 show a Federal Court the actual truth of this age-old riff between ARTIST and LABEL.

Even if u were kind enuff 2 send us just ONE cd that is shown on the list u were mailed, it will serve as ample notice that we r tired of this endless MISrepresentation of this man's life-long work. He deserves better.

Let Prince steward his OWN catalogue, then the "coupled", poor-quality, unmastered versions of his classics would cease. Imagine in 2004, a brand-new, prisitine, RE-mastered version of PURPLE RAIN released on high definition DVD with xtras, outtakes and liner notes from the Artist himself arriving at ur door. That alone is worth the effort of helping us with the CAUSE.

How many people can we get behind it. I'd do it.

He has everything to gain IMO. I think I can understand and appreciate his possible thinking behind this.

He won't have any fans to gain.

Prince must just post crap like this to get people excited--even negatively--to see if anybody still gives a rat's ass what he's doing.

many artists got these kind of DVDs released in Brazil: Queen, Yes, Bowie, and many more. They are sold in newspaper agencies. They are unauthorized, but laws there are less strict.
I don't think WB is in any way involved in its release,it is a bootleg, full stop.
about the material in the list, since when stuff like the japanes long-lenght cds and the german cds are unauthorized???

This has been a very entertaining thread. I especially love the picture of the collection. Man, that's sickness.
I don't know what they were expecting. Sounds a little far fetched and vague...
