I sent HMV an e-mail and they listened!!

www.HMV.co.uk did have 3121 for sale a £16.99 i sent them an e-mail axplaining it was too dear when compared to all the other online stores. I also sent them the track listing, as they didn't have it.

And guess what! here we are 5 days later... they've lowered the price and added the tracklisting.

And now the price is lower, more "would be" fans will be tempted into buying 3121. i.e. BETTER SALES! dancing jig

U know, the stuff "some of us" do as fans realy pays off.

Yep, they have or had TRC at £19.99 once until i showed them other examples of it on other online stores for £10. Then several days later they changed the price. Why wouldn't they? they want shit to sell!

which is why, of course, TRC is listed at £17.99 at the HMV store...

There's no way on earth that a major chain like HMV would sell a major new album, not imported, for £17, no way. They might though, say its £17 and then have a 'sale' price...
£17 sounds like an import price anyway.

Its nice you try though GG, just don't get carried away! wink

One day at George Clinton show, the guitar player was doing a solo but you can barely hear it, I made some signs at George to level up the volume, a few mesure later he asked the band to "break it down" so everybody can listen to the solo razz

weeee want the funk !

That place is great. 7 pounds for 3121 and free delivery. It's based in Singapore so by rights it should get here to Thailand in just a few days. woot!

I personaly think that the £16.99 price was set before the Brit awards and they thought the album would only be on import from USA, but now it will be officially released in the UK with a NORMAL price of £10.99 for most CDs

That's the thing. For all the ridicule, you do at least make an effort. If you had any part in the drop in price then all credit to you. thumbs up!

Hey GG!

Could you call Pizza Pizza and tell'em to cut their price about $3.00 on the large pepperoni? Also suggest those Prince-themed brandnames/catchphrases :

Little Red Pizza
Delicious
If eye was your delivery man
It could never take the place of your anchovies
In A Large Pie With No Cheese

Thanks!
