Why I can't buy NPG.

I went online looking for Prince MP3s. Like Love Bizarre I can't purchase New Power Genration. I went to Itunes and Napster and the both said Album Only. WHy would Prince and other artists make you buy the whole album?

On sites like iTunes/Napster, etc., they wont sell songs over a certain length for 99 cents. You have to purchase the entire album.

As for the NPG stuff, Prince hasn't allowed it to be sold via online retailers (unless u buy a conventional cd). He once sold them through the NPGMC/3121, but of course, we know they went buh-bye.

Is that so?

Just on the off chance the other day I was browsing iTunes and noticed with 'Romance 1600' that all the tracks could be bought individually except for 'A Love Bizarre' and I thought 'Damn, that's good business! Make 'em pay for the whole album to get the only song the casual listener would be interested in' lol -- Now I know better.

In that case, it probably has something to do with the copyright.
