Jeez, Prince, just release the CD's

Come on Princey, do the right thing and release the music. Why keep talking about it? Don't you just wanna get on with your life as well?

Havent we've been thru this already a few times?
I'm starting to believe its yet another 'promise'
that will be broken... In any event, from start to
finish you have to say Prince is consistent with his
'projects' and their 'ultimate demise'.

Never promoted well or professionally.

Always hyped in odd places.

Egotistically flaunted but yet untested.

There is never a right time for Prince, its his terms, his time, his call.
Outside influences arent part of his 'process' until he understands this.. its his ultimate downfall..see his fan base from the 80's to now.

He has 'fans', they just arent soley into 'him' anymore, the sheen has worn thin and off, the attraction of the mystery of Prince has burned alot of dedicated fans with his inabilities to promote, succeed and keep material promises to his most dedicated fans in the past and of the future.

3 albums would be excellent but we've endured all of this with Crystal Ball and its *promotion*. $99.99 for lifetime memberships.....etc.

Its going to happen again, with no remorse to his dedicated fans.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

It is pointless anyway. If you are not a member u can't get them anyway. I said it b 4 going back to being a fan from b 4 PFUnk. I am sick of all the games he plays. I has to realize fans are sick of it.

I realize there are a lot of impatient fans on this site, but can you just chill out and wait a little longer?
There should be news very, very soon, and you'll be able to get your hands on all 3 discs before mid-april. Originally, there was speculation he would release 3 CDs separately throughout the year. Now, you'll have all 3 before Spring.

Do you really need to keep complaining?
If it breaks when it bends, you better not put it in.

I would'nt call this complaining, I'd call it more like 'factual' statements that is being done, has been done etc... Impatient for what? His fans arent the ones to 'leak' a teaser statement saying a 'website' would be up on a certain date, then its up but incomplete. The 'tease' of Prince grew old back in the earlier 90's, its now almost 2010...he supposedly has transformed into a complete Artists artist but he still acts like a newbie artist with his 'fans'?
The sentiment within his dwindling fan base is agreeable, enough is enough we got this long ago, its time to be professional and let his music flow. Enough games, enough lackluster promotions, marketing and deals. I once paid for a 'lifetime membership', I sit here today as a fan who has nothing in terms of a 'membership', unless lotusflow3r gives us back the membership? Prince just needs to be understandable to his fans..make some business sense for once. Right now, there is no reasoning for this short lived debacle he created. It's a marketing fiasco set up to fail to the general public.

When were these dates announced? If it's definite that all 3 albums will be available before mid-April, then that's cool. Now, if he could just put that announcement on his official site, then all would be fine.

I know his track record has made skeptics of a lot of people,including me.
There will be a marketing plan for this and I think it will impress a lot of folks.

I really hope so, I dont want to be so negative but his recent past 90's-current really have put a damper on this 'project' for me. I was really hoping the new website would be promoted better and complete usuable on launch, it really is a let down in terms of the anticipation for his faithful following. As much of a genius he is, I wish he would be more creative with his faithful and give us some special tracks, extended versions and possible album only available thru is website. I know he did this with NPGMC but something on a CD mailed to us, something fan only accessible etc... anyways. Waiting as usual....BLAH!

There was also a great marketing plan for the 3121 album, but after the album was released Prince changed his mind and disappeared for weeks. It's very chaotic in PrinceWorld.

Probably why Prince doesn't seem to listen to the fans. Stuff like that's really going to go well with Prince.

I agree with you ALL THE WAY. Having the "mystery" and "allure" of all these undercover projects was alluring - to a point. It just becomes lame when they never get uncovered though. Crystal Ball II, Roadhouse Garden, 7 discs of samples, a 3121 movies - they sound cool but it gets lame and embarrassing when he never actually produces any of this stuff.

He isnt talking about it. We are. And we are just lucky to have been able to get previews fo the songs and read about the promotions. If we did not have that then all we would keep seeing here is that bloody zelaria and other nonsense threads. People being bored making threads "whats next?? No news!" He lets us in on some upcoming things and now look at ya'. Receiving head and still bitchin about the sex.
