21-3 as release date, but already in stores?

I don't understand anymore. I learned here on the org that the release would be 21th March. Then i saw an ad for the dutch release being the 20th. And i bought my copy yesterday (the 18th) at the second day the album was in stores???

What happened?

It could be because of the leak and also for those out looking for Ultimate

If you live in the US don't bother.

Really? Someone on here or hq posted that they had gotten 3121 and the Ultimate cd from Walmart.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until Tuesday. sad

Albums are released on different days of the week in different countries, I don't know why, it might be something to do with when the album becomes eligible for inclusion in that week's chart...? Whatever, it means that some countries have got it earlier than the 21-3 date, although it should be released everywhere by that date.

Some stores accidentally put the Ultimate out but there is very little chance a huge store like Walmart would tamper with release dates for 3121 because they face very serious heavy fines.

I purchased it from Wal-Mart on Friday the 17th and questioned the early release date too. Check your store.

In Minney, Best Buy today had a great big sign, really BIG, at the front of the CD section that said "Prince."

Then a disclaimer followed saying something about it was beyond their control and they couldn't release the Ultimate.
