strange indeed, I think we all know given the massive love from the UK during the 02 shows that this CD would fly off the shelves here so I am curious to see if there are plans for a wider release?. Does anyone here know?, I guess it has only been 3 weeks or so since the US release but I find it hard to believe that a global distribution deal isn't going to happen.

Do you mean first Prince CD or first by any artist? Definitely not the latter, but I'm not sure about Prince's albums. Was NEWS distributed internationally?

rainbow children was a us only release for the first couple of months i think...wasnt released in the uk until a about a year later....

I don't see why UK fans just don't hookup with a US fan, send the cash over, instill some trust, and the US fan send it back. It can all be done within a couple of weeks or so. And how fancy you'd be, across the pond to have a copy, all your friends beggin' ya for a "dub" of it.
