Prince Music on iTunes

Three months before Warner Music Group's Rhino Entertainment was gearing up to promote a handful of older Prince titles, timed to coincide with Prince's Superbowl performance, the label entered into talks with iTunes. The result: four albumes, including "Purple Reign" received prominent positions in the store and were priced at $7.99-$2.00 less than Apple's standard albume price. After the prime display, digital sales of "Purple Reign" rose fivefold, according to Soundscan and "The Very Best of Prince" more than doubled. Three lesser known albumes in the promotion saw modest increases.
(from The Wall Street Journal, 3/9/07).
I checked current prices of Prince music, and "Dirty Mind" and "Controversey" are $7.92. The rest is higher priced. The sale must be over.

I believe subconsciously that's my impression of it all. Royal authority and all.....I edited it, then changed it back for the sake of originality.
In my case, Reign, aka: Rain. From now on.....you know what I mean!!!
