The greatest newspaper giveaway (3121.com article)



Comments from Daily Mail website:

Yet another groundbreaking move by this utterly ingenious artist. It's both brilliant and clever yet selfless at the same time. Giving back his music to the people that count. So many people will be introduced or re-introduced to this man's musical genius. As a life long fan, this is yet another milestone in his career that I have been fortunate enough to witness. I was going to receive this album as I have already got my tickets for his shows in London this August, but a 2nd copy will allow me to give it to someone who might not have gotten hold of one. I urge all other Prince fans to do the same. Spread the word brothers & sisters. - Rob Puricelli, Mendlesham, UK

This is Prince fan heaven. Your favourite artist's new CD is offered to you firstly by means of a giveaway in your local newsagent. Who could ask for anything better than that?
Prince - you rock! Would any other major artist be as brave as to actually GIVE their new music away like this? Oh, and cheers to The Mail On Sunday for their part in this jaw-dropping and innovative way of getting music to the fans.
Fantastic! - Brian Jones, Shrewsbury, UK

This man is the greatest artist to have walked on our planet!
His shows are of legendendary. I have seen him many times and the shows still send shivers down my spine. - David Bowyer, Deal England

Fantastic! I can't believe it. Yet again Prince shows what a truly innovative artist he really is. I can't wait! - Steve, London England

Prince has always been way ahead of the rest both in terms of music and in terms of being a visionary.

He used the internet to supply music to his fans long before it became the norm and now he is using a newspaper to give away his new album. Some will criticise this move (no doubt the record shops) as he will be missing out on revenue from CD's sold, but I am sure that we will see CD sales of his last few albums and back catalogue rise after fans of old rediscover him with this giveaway and new fans are won.

I was one of the lucky few who saw Prince at the Koko club in May and have seen him live on several occassions throughout the years and I cannot wait to see him at the brand new O2 this summer. They may have to rebuild it once he is done because something tells me that he is going to take the roof off of that place... - Keith Malda, Bexleyheath
