I would not spend $77 on a web site when I can get the same music it contains for $12 on cd from Target.




Come on. You can't be serious. Do you really think that you don't get anything extra for 77 USD?

realm said:



I thank Prince for making the 3cds available for $12 at Target. Think about that.


Exactly. You can get the 3 cd's for an extreme low price so why are people complaining that they charge more money for the website. Be happy that they don't ask a lot for the cd's too.


The point is for $77 it would have to be something worthy of $77 dollars. U2's club is $50 and I get 2 cds of unreleased material and access to pre-sale tix - and the live show is over the top like Zoo TV (that is the other more pricey show I'm planning on going to). If Kaiser Chiefs open for U2 here I'm able to get on the guest list for the chiefs and those guys are cool. If P is not releasing Vault material and it's newer stuff that is demo'd I don't have as much interest. If he isn't playing some shows nearby no interest.

If the membership includes a few cds of FLACs from the Vault I will join.

I'd like to see a few smaller -inexpensive- shows this year and checkout new acts. Many of my big shows are cut! I think it's Prince if he tours here and U2. Even if P tours here I'm not sure if I will just go with purchasing tickets straigt thru ticketbastards.

You are correct for $12 you can't complain. Still why would anyone pay $77 for something they can get for $12 and it's on cd??? I think they would have to make the $77 deal very very sweet??? In the world of Prince you never know??? He could stay in LA and it would be an awesome summer for the LA fans and a good $77 spent - or do a NY 21 night thing. Still, we don't know??? But I'm not going to blindly throw the new site $77 in hopes that things happen that are not planned. Will enjoy 3 new cds either way.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. So yellowtaxi is telling us the albums are in the store a full two weeks before release date and employees are just walking out with copies.


this happens all of the time. it's probably too hard for the mgmt to police it. he'll scan it on release day and pay for it like normal, therefore from an inventory perspective no one stole anything.

Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

hey,they pay me 9 dollars an hour at Target...i should be stealing food instead of Prince cd's.besides, i am going to pay for what i took anyways,its all good.

There is NOTHING good about what you just wrote. Trifling.


Yeah a real fool here in this day and age, if Target finds out about this. Have a good time explaining to the cops! and looking for a new job at WalMart. You're foolish to be posting this here.

Look folks just wait for the release date.

nope, never worked at a retail store that sold music...and I am too old at this point to be working at a retail store (past 30).

btw, I think he is safe posting that he got it early @ Target. I would not have included the city that I work in though...

if it is real, here is what I would like as far as a review goes...

rate his past 3 CDs on a scale of 1 to 10

Musicology
3121
Planet Earth

...this will let me know if our taste is even close to the same. and don't bother with your opinion on the 80s stuff b/c that isn't a good comparison.

then give a track by track review of each of the 2 new Prince CDs and an overall score. also resist the temptation to say it is the greatest thing ever just b/c you have it and we don't....

that is really all that you can do at this point since we don't support piracy here.

lets just say that not only am i the biggest Prince fan in Dayton,Ohio...I am also employed at Target!not only am i employed at Target,i just happen to work in the shipping/receiving dept.!
so as i am working last night guess what i find a box of???
take one guess what i did.... cool
there was also a box of in -store promo materials.that is where i snagged the poster!there were Elixer posters too but i refrained.
my co-worker told me that these arrived in the warehouse this past Monday and were dispatched to the stores shortly thereafter.
also expect to see adds for Lotusflow3r in next Sunday's Target mailer!

eek
Wow. That's quite brazen of you to confess to stealing from your employer.


Online, no less!!!


And saying where, what department and when he worked. disbelief

You might want to brush off your resume, just in case Prince's people see your post.

well i noticed that yellowtaxi's profile is already gone lol disbelief

finally some more info on the albums and y'all had to jump on them
with another petty argument over nothing.

this place is getting worse by the day. don't get me wrong i love
all your mindless bitching and catfights but today it actually got
in the way of something that might have given me some info that i
really wanted.

shame on you

no no no!

now go ahead and flame me falloff [snip snip]
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

He's been banned apparently. Given the info he gave, says a lot about him.

You better believe they watch fan forums in fear that someone will leak an soon to be released album. If you think not you are clueless to what is happening in the industry. The problem is people do not read the news.

I like the MPLSound cover a little better than LotusFlow3r or Bria's... but I don't think they look "cheap". Prince has had PLENTY of cheap looking album covers, but I think these are actually a step up from things like "Chaos & Disorder", "The Gold Experience", "The Vault" or "Rave" or pretty much chose anything he put out after the "Hits" CD.
Change it one more time..
