stephaniebrown said: If Prince doesn't want it out until 3/29 (to allow for release on his website, to promote it first, whatever) so be it...BUT...release dates ("street dates") are generally to allow for fairness among different retailers releasing the same item (one retailer could get a shipment several days before another retailer--if everybody has the same release date it keeps it equal)...it's not "illegal" to sell an item before a release date--but an offending retailer could be "punished" by the manufacturer (record company, movie studio, etc.) in the form of delayed future shipments, reduced co-op advertising dollars, and other methods...
...but since there is only one retailer for Lotusflow3r, the only fairness issue of the release date would be whether one Target store is selling it before another Target store...there would be no repercussions of selling it "early" for the Target chain as a whole other than ticking off Prince if he's insistent on 3/29... Of course anything that could set Prince himself off isn't a good thing for the fans...so I'm content to wait until 3/29 for the physical release... I would like to end this post with an open offer to collect all discarded promotional material for Lotusflow3r so it can be properly disposed of and recycled if necessary...I'm only looking out for the planet here... I suppose, but I doubt he wants it to drop before then. Seems like that would mess up whatever he's trying to accomplish with the Leno dates since they happen right before release. Also, knowing what a control freak he is, I'm certain that Prince has strict agreements in place with Target about probably pretty much everything. | |

thaCONcept said: love2thenines2003 said: It's a JOke..no?? PS>Review soon? ok - some more info I do not live in the same state where the CDs were spotted. I have 2 assume they hit all Target Stores at the same time. They R NOT on the sales floor they R locked up in a cage in the stock room with the video games. I do NOT have the CD and I doubt the employee that gave me the info will be able 2 get one. However with the CDs arriving accross the country - U would have 2 assume it will only b a matter of time..... The same deal happend with "the Rainbow Children" we had the exclusive and we got it 10 days before street date, but with TRC it was a soft street date, meaning you used your judgement on putting it out or not My guess is that you will start to see it popping out that weekend, the online orders will ship earlier, so you could have people getting the cd on Saturday if they choose express service, mainly because UPS does not work sundays, so with a sunday street, orders wont go out till monday, so best bet, if you dont have a target near, which alot of cities dont, order it online and choose overnight shipping.

Tell us all more about how to be "true" fans like yourself. official released material comes out on a certain date..wait until then and pay the artist their due on that. unless ur a journalist reviewing a album leaks r 4 those that can't contain themselves and don't respect the artist. the sad thing about the internet is that a lot of people want something 4 nothing. b patient it's not like the album is coming out in 6 months from now. man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

oh rubbish, if someone doesn't respect the artist they won't want to hear the music. it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

[Edited 3/12/09 20:04pm] This makes sense. This also happened with Prince Ultimate (and the 1987 Black Album). Most stores had it for several days before it was recalled. That's why some showed copies up on eBay. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

it won't b long Oh Jesus. I should be excited and it is exciting but seeing that people want to have this thing leaked is sad and disturbing and takes the fun away from getting it in your hands or downloading it officially and having it be new. It's bittersweet to me. 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's bittersweet to me. this is what u have 2 decide now, if the albums become available on 3/24, the day the site opens up, people will start making threads about the albums..and songs etc ..either u'll pay 4 the downloads then or wait 5 days until it's officially in ur hands .. seriously i'm hoping that the downloads aren't available until 3/29 ..just my 2 cents about that man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |
