hard copy of lotusflow3r

Today I finally received my hard copy of lotusflow3r. So what's the difference with the downloads ?

- MPLSound is exactly the same
- Boom is equally long as on the download (despite the 4.45 stated on the website)
- "Crimson and clover" replaces "the morning after" (personally I believe that "the morning after" is a better song to follow after boom)
- no booklet (!!)
- no lyrics (!!!)

but nevertheless, great 2 albums smile

You figured out the difference. No Crimson and Clover on the download. Everything elese is the same.

That's why I don't understand the non-US fans being so upset about the distribution. confused

Especially since we got a 320 KBS mp3 of Crimson and Clover FREE!

We are not "upset" it just the retailers over here rip us off charging a silly $47.50 up to $78.00 in some areas for the CD ...that's just not on when you can get it of Ebay for $16.00 and they still make a good profit.. biggrin
Da, Da, Da....Emancipation....Free..don't think I ain't..! London 21 Nights...Clap your hands...you know the rest..

That makes sense, then. Sounds like the retailers are either price gouging. Unless Prince is charging them out the ass for it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm from Europe, too.
But I don't care if I can buy the cds next week or next year because I already have the music. The package doesn't matter to me, especially it does not even come with a booklet.

The cds are really nice in the package, but the paper packaging could have been improved.

Sorry I'm old school like to have the physical object in my hands .... I tread it as part of the artwork ... Music Downloads are boring... If I have a top range Colour printer ...quality paper and a CD Label Printer I'd do it myself ...I think that's a few years away for most.... biggrin

I feel the exact same way. I tend to like the feeling of a cd or album in my hand.

the cd looks like a promo cd actually, especially on the back of the cd. even the picture on the cd itself looks poorly printed, like a selfmade cd. I even believe the sound quality from the downloads is better than on the cd. but like I said, nevertheless very good music. but the last few years he spends less time in cd artwork so it seems.
