This isnt Prince's first venture with a "retailer" as a primary source for his release. REDLINE entertainment, released "Rainbow Children", Redline is owned by Best Buy, and when this album came out at first it was only available at Best Buy and Sam Goody (which Best Buy owned at the time).

However Target?? i dont know about them as the primary retailer for anything, mainly because they are so hard to find, believe it or not, in major cities, where PRINCE has most of his fans.So im guessing alot of people will be doing the Target.com ordering

That's not true. Target is a BIG retailer. In most major regions, people live within 20 to 50 miles of a Target. Not to mention, Target is either the 1st or 2nd largest music retailer in the US. Also, Target is known for doing exclusive cds. They have done it with several artists in the past. Off the top of my head, I know that Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child and Bryan Adams have all done "exclusive" cds with Target. They were not FULL BLOWN releases, though. They were more like EPs. The price of their exclusive releases are usually cheap. Most time, a single cd runs $6 or $7. After about 6 or 8 months, you see it on the clearance rack for $2 to $5.

Now, I know that Target also works with record companies to do exclusive DVDs and bonus tracks on other artists cds (like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc). So, Target is a very smart choice.

It could be that ea. one is $11.98 too. Not convinced yet about the price but happy we finally got a solid date. As far as sunday's release date I remember somoeone recently released their album on a sunday at Borders methinks.

It's possible that Yahoo news fucked up and it will be $11.98 for each CD (which is about the going price during their sales). $11.98 for 3 Cds sounds unbelievable!

It's possible, but Target always has inexpensive cds for New Releases. Most of their Target only cds are around $7 each.

Wow, you must be short of an argument if you have to correct spelling and grammar. What, you think this format requires it? I did learn the history of Scotland once...it took 5 minutes and bored me to tears. You have one historical figure that people might have heard of...and I hear he wasn't much of a bather.

The only thing that smells around here is the bullshit that is flowing from your bigot mouth. As they say in my country 'get it right up ye'.


Still going on about the grammar/spelling...and not the content. Methinks you fall short. Not the first time for a Scot.

Prince Films Commerical For Target; Will Release 3 CD Set With Retailer


Prince shot a commercial for Target on Friday in Los Angeles. Prince is due to release 3 CD’s thru Target and his web site , Lotusflow3r.com on March 29th, 2009.

The 3 cd’s will be two by Prince entitled Lotusflow3r, and the other familiar to Drfunkenberry.com members, MPLSOUND. The 3rd will be by Bria Valente entitled “Elixer” which is produced by a certain someone to have that Minneapolis Groove.

The Cd’s look like they will be sold as a pack, the artwork and lyrics available online. I did not have a chance to ask one of the web designers if it will down-loadable. A doctor likes to print out his lyrics man.

As for the video shoot, it went well and was shot at Universal Studios and it was a closed set. How did we hear about it then? We have our ways.

The commercial features Prince and Bria Valente and should be airing within the next couple of weeks. We hear they may have some footage of it up sooner or his own web site.

Also, for that thing we thought was a cell phone at the Avalon show, is actually a Lotus Flow3r branded flip video camcorder and can be checked out HERE http://darkhavenstudios.c...tusflow3r/

To answer a ? that is on that link, I want a poster. wink

March should be a fun month for fans of the purple one.-Dr.FB

They've actually been opening up more and more stores in inner-cities. Of the ones I know about there's one in Brooklyn, Manhattan and in DC.

There's one or 2 in the Bronx as well.

Seems to be an odd bout of desperation to sell 3 CD's for that cheap. Is he afraid that they won't sell and by setting a low price....trying to get people to buy them???
I would recheck that price before I run to Target in search of this deal that is too good to be true....but if it is...hey a bonus


Anyone who's followed the music industry knows where physical CD sales were this past year.

http://www.huffingtonpost...54641.html

If someone can buy 3 physical albums for 12 bucks then they'll likely feel less need to download them for free from pirate sites.. all the while making the real money on the sales from the site subscription.


I have purchased several CD's this past year and I have yet to find a deal where there are 3 discs in one package for $12....like I said...it it is true...it is a BONUS!!!

I don't know why that comment made me laugh... lol

Anyway, I do understand since I myself prefer to buy actual CDs with booklets and everything, but... ey, could be worse wink

True, at least we're not living in a sinking country that's on a fast one-way track to turning into a banana repulic like the US. lol
I think i prefer downloading the torrent to that, anyday. wink
