TypoQueen said:

I should have been the one to go to his house for the private concert. I woulda probably gotten kicked out

I have the image of Prince throwing that guitar with no one to catch it.

BigDaddyHQ said:

not the guitar

I pre ordered mine from HMV and it got delivered on Saturday! Stupid ass price I know but I was desperate and have NO patience when it comes to new Prince things!

i bought mine from play.com for £6.61 - US import with no delivery charges or import costs.... better than $77 or £30 if you ask me

Got mine.

Good call! I got mine from HMV - pre-order at £12.99 and thought this was a good deal. If you're int he UK and haven't got it yet - rush to Play!

His Master's voice (HMV) the retailing business, dates back to 1921 when the first HMV store was opened at 363 Oxford Street, London.

His Master's Voice is a famous trademark in the music business, and for many years was the name of a large record label. The name was coined in 1899 as the title of a painting of the dog Nipper listening to a wind-up gramophone. In the original painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph.

I Think its older than any orger ....but then again I could be wrong as some claim to have been a Prince fan before he was born...

Literally

Hmmm very interesting....HMV have a legal ban? wow, was it something i said?

HERE'S THE LATEST:

226 0707541095495 PRINCE LOTUSFLOW3R/MPLSOUND 3 CD POP 090407

BARCODE AND RELEASE DATE so the uk should have an offical release this month...

Does seem a tad odd that in this day and age the album can't get a simultaneous release globally, or as close to one as possible. But I'm willing to wait as long as its not too long....Im just chuffed that the man is still recording!


All I need to do now is find a shop left near me that stocks CDs...lets see....Woolies, gone....Zaavi, gone...oh dear....how much was that import again?

myloveis4ever said:

Play.com have sellers with new sealed copies.

If all copies originate in the US, then I presume all worldwide sales will clock on the US charts, putting P in the limelight. I think P is being a playa.

We can all join Lotusflow3r.com, which I personally believe to be a vehicle for this album only. If Prince is still interested next year, he'll drop some quality on the site to encourage us to renew.

What a royal fuck-up.

LondonStyle said:

At around/under 13 quid hopefully
Anyway whats all that? how do u know its gonna be released by this month? link pls

MattyJam said:

Still better than Jacko's release this year which was....

....oh...

With a UK offical release happening soon hopefully we may get some kind of promotion over these waters, fingers crossed

catpark said:

Back in stock in 10 days at HMV....no legal ban anymore ??

UK official release...

LondonStyle said:

cool...but is that an official release? it doesnt look like it and its still 29.99!! what a load of nonsense

My local HMV (cheshire oaks) had loads of copies tonight, all £29.99. My cousin was shocked when she saw the price.

DaveT said:

Oh, I see... because of the MJ pic in my avatar?

*still fails to see the relevance*

I just got my brand new one off Amazon for $39.40 NZ, and thats including shipping to different planets like New Zealand (We call it postage and handling in New Zealand), this is way below the expected release here on April 26th at a price of $79.95 New Zealand (It won't sell many copies) I feel very lucky. I will have to wait for it tho

andymacfunky said:

So let's see: yet another scheme to rig the charts, and once again he didn't even make #1.

DaveT said:

... taken to court to be used as new evidence?

U's all a bit shit. HMV is the ONLY major music retailer left in the UK since Zavvi shut down and Fopp have only been reduced to a few small stores in big cities - and HMV now own them anyway.

The Target deal was ridiculous. All the music retailers have been failing because the big chain supermarkets and general stores have been undercutting them on prices as they make their money elsewhere.

And they see people don't know how to take a joke anymore....
