I'm sure there's logic somewhere in that statement, but I can't find it.

I was at a Coldplay concert in LA recently and Chris Martin said "We're from England!!" and the crowd booed! Not sure he was expecting that!

Yea Prince talks to some random like you!

I'm just wondering when he will release it in the UK and how??? I mean Europe for a long time now has been his biggest market, his biggest following so just seems weird he wont strike a deal when we've got asda (wal mart), Tesco and other big retailers here.

We'll be able to import them from somewhere without much difficulty.

I think for all non-americans the music will "only" be availabe through the site. That's not too bad, is it? Or do you want to be able to hold the CDs in your hands?

pald1 said:

21 nights anyone? Was that in yankee land? No it was in the UK, so obviously Princey boy cares. Now go back inside your bubble.

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!

Of course we want things to hold.

Could be worse...could be Wal-Mart, which does that to towns and then LEAVES!

And there will be an online option....through Target! It's possible Prince will sell it through his site but I can't imagine him matching that price (AC/DC did for I believe the same price as Wal-Mart and with free shipping...I bought their release through there but I doubt many others did).

I'm glad u agree with my later post...u always get what u want so why all the moaning....must be a English trait...wait a minute..IT IS!

I'm surprised at the price. Definitely good in these economic times.

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

will there be a Prince commercial, maybe?

TheEnglishGent said:

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

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

Not a favorable image I can assure you...

pald1 said:

Oh don't worry dear

VenusBlingBling said:

I'm not too concerned, I'll be able to download the stuff from his site and there will always be a relatively simple way to get the physical discs for the collection.

Why though?

yup!!!

I'm working on my plan already. Booking plane tickets and hotel. CD's should cost me about $1200. Simple.

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.

As someone who works at Target Headquarters, I am very excited by this. All of the big acts that they have done exclusive deals with in the past have performed for us.

I suppose if it's a 3-CD set in a single package that explains why we haven't seen covers for MPLSound or Elixir--and would also explain the 3 in "lotusflow3r".

As for the price, I want to say it costs under $2.00 per disc to print a CD (assuming you do it in volume). Which means a three disc set with packaging might only cost about $6.00 to produce. Sell it for $12 and Target probably gets 3 bucks and Prince gets 3 bucks. So, sell a million copies and Prince gets $3-million. Bria, on the other hand, most likely gets a hug and a copy of the Watchtower.
