Interesting quote about Prince in Time Saw this in the October 15, 2007, issue of Time and thought it was of interest. It's from an article about Radiohead's new release and how they're giving it away.
Meanwhile, as CD sales decline (in early 2007, they were down 20% from early 2006 in the U.S. alone), the concert business is booming. In July, Prince, long underestimated for his business acumen, decided to turn his most valuable asset--a buzzed-about record--into a loss leader, flooding the U.K. with 3 million free copies of his Planet Earth CD through the Mail on Sunday newspaper. He was ridiculed for going down market, until he announced 21 London concert dates--and sold out every one at prices five times the suggested retail price of a CD. Not surprisingly, Radiohead has an extensive tour planned for 2008. | |

Yeah, I thought that too; but the writer's probably speaking in terms of American dollars. | |
