Hi,

just saw on www.sonymusicstore.com that P's NewPowerSoul record was available for buying there, with label=LEGACY, and release date of 10 May 2005. In general, I think on that site are only artists from Sony-related labels displayed. From Prince you only get Musicology and NPS. Anybody knows about this? Has this been discussed before

Yes, I saw the re-releases in the shops. Funny that NPS had a generic title sticker up top that said: "Prince - New Power Soul!" They also had Chaka's Come 2 My House and 1999: the New Master, all re-issued. I guess when Sony Music bought out BMG they inherited all of Prince's indy stuff that was distributed by BMG internationally?

Yes, I agree with you on the artistic merit of NPS ;

Remember, music is about personal enjoyment not just artsy conceit. NPS is not a masterwork, but it is a good dance floor savvy, enjoyable disk. Tom Moon was right when he said that NPS was better then Maxwell's Embrya, because NPS just took itself less seriously. For a radio friendly dance disk, it is quite good and I am glad that I have it in my collection.

who and where is this Tom Moon so I may shoot him?

Whats the big deal? They have every right 2 rerelease it if they want. Its not his best work as a whole, but there r some very good songs on that disc. If people don't like the disc they have every right not 2 buy it.

That CD could drive me to eat beef again.
