I'd agree with you, but it's 2009 where the best selling album can't even shift 3 million copies in the US, so somebody like Prince, who's not played by radio has to offer 3 CDs for the price of one otherwise it would go unnoticed by the general public.

YESSS! Im on it! *googling nearest Target*

daPrettyman said:

yeah, those shitty vocals on the Madhouse albums

Ellie said:

i totally get what ur saying and i agree she should have been doing some of his shows as a opening act 2 get the juice flowing ..which is what he did with tamar

daPrettyman said:

so i don't really understand when people say they aren't interested in the protege material when it's essential prince's music with another vocal on top of it but the music is the same

In who's OPINION?

daPrettyman said:

true enough, though i think it got to be less that way into the late 80s, when other people were brought in to work on paisley park albums. i thought tamar's album was a return to prince really putting himself into a protege project, and from what i've heard of bria's album, it's going to have his presence all over it.

Yeah thats how i feel. You cant beat the 11.98 price for 3 cds.... Genious business move.....each album sold will amount to triple numbers on the billboard charts. I will buy everything Prince puts out, in stores or online cause i love my Princey.....If Bria's album turns out to be good as a whole (production quality, music, lyrics, vocals) ill give props to Prince for seeing a project all the way through. Im so ready for some really good new music, I havent been this excited about buying a cd in a long time..gotta say thanx for making it so affordable. I hope people buy and show support for that.

$11.98 is generous! prince is so cool (even when associated with target)

So you must have had at least a dozen copies of Planet Earth for free? We got the album love too! Now it's the turn of our American cousins. I'm sure we'll be able to get hold of it easily enough.

Ellie said:

If you want a proper copy, try here:

Bought my proper copy from there ages ago.

TheEnglishGent said:

i'm sure it won't be too difficult..
i vaguely remember someone suggesting that target & amazon are linked?
can anyone verify this?

LiveToTell86 said:

If that's his only enticement then it's going to go unnoticed by the public anyway.

TheEnglishGent said:

Thanks for the link. I always knew where to find a copy, it's just having over 10 copies of the paper case one, now I feel it's a bit of a waste to pay full price for a plastic case. It would make my Prince CD tower look more tidy though. If it ever went for £4 I'd snap it up.

daPrettyman said:

not quite, some of the songs on the Family had nothing to do with Prince, this is also the case for the times last 3 albums, in fact pandemonium only had two of his songs on them.

vinx98 said:

only one song on the family's album didn't have any prince input which was river run dry written by bobby z. every other song were prince's compositions

L4OATheOriginal said:

Not interested at all in seeing Bria do what he did with Tamar! No thanks. Sorry but I wanna see Prince live, Tamar was not that exciting for me to see, if Tamar/ Bria did one or two songs and Prince was the main focus, thats cool, but I dont like being force fed artists i dont know. Lets say Brias album is bad, who would want to see a whole show live much less be forced to! Lets say Brias album is good then let the public digest it a while first, get to know the songs and let curiousity build to make people want to find out more about her with a proper marketing plan. You cant jump the gun. Makes for a more interesting artist fan relationship. Beyonce is force feeding us now, i cant stand that. Take a break you dont need to put all your cards on the table, the flame burns out fast! Prince is evasive, he knows how to keep people wanting more. Thats why hes had a 30 year career and still going strong. Prince still should take a break soon.

You would be happier about this if each cd sold for $11.99?
You would be happier if you paid $23.98 total for the 2 Prince cds
& not be force fed the Bria cd?
Cause I don't get it.
Some fans are never happy.
Selling it as a bundle keeps the cost down which he is passing on.
I could care less about radio play or singles.
As a longtime Prince fan this whole 3 cd deal is great.
I would be buying all three no matter what so the $11.99
for all three is fantastic.
$11.99 for just the 2 Prince cds alone is great.
I don't get your complaining!

I don't get the moans either. I see it as $12 for two Prince CD's with something I may or may not enjoy along for the ride. No harm done really.

I live in Ireland so i'm not sure what's happening here.

But this is really cool of Prince, and as usual some fans still find reasons to complain.

I'm looking at the packaging for the cd...looks like the 3 in the lotusflower is meant to imply the 3 cd set. The album cover will just be the original artwork found on the lotus website..no doubt about the 3 for $11.98...and before you ask I'm not on the inside of Prince's business affairs just looking at some internal stuff circulating at the bullseye.

you got the last one for free with a newspapers, so waaaaah, we're crying our eyes out for you

TwiliteKid said:

He probably won't offer them in cassette tape format, so you Canadians might be out of luck!

remko said:

THere were vocals. "Madhouse 13 rock this mutha"

"Babydoll House"

I wonder if it will be released in Australia. We do have Target stores here.

Cinnie said:

thats very funny

SomewhereHereOnEarth said:

New and used.

i wonder if prince will let target continue to carry the "glam slam" make-up kit, complete with "sexy motherpucker" lip gloss?
