Could someone explain to me the connection between this newspaper and an aritist on the wane??

oh sorry...money and cheap publicity for them both.....silly me!!!!

Don't encourage them...download it ourselves.

Really????? Seriously????? You actually care about what magazine or newspaper the CD comes in?

Like I put on a different thread, If the CD was in a magazine about Sewage Disposal I would still by the magazine...just as long as I get the CD.

So are you saying that you will actually read the newspaper or magazine the CD comes in? Or that you would avoid getting the magazine or newspaper that the CD is in just because of how the CD is being distrubuted and that you don't like the magazine or newspaper?

Silly willy!!!!

The newspaper or magazine is just packaging. biggrin

The newspaper or magazine will be in the trash once I got the CD in hand.

Point taken, but at least agree this is all very sad.

Doing it once ( Planet Earth) might be seen as original....twice is just desperation.

"Courrier international" is offering 50 albums to those who sign up (there's a draw), click on the following link to the paper's Prince page:

http://jeux.courrierinternational.com/albumprince/

Thanks for the link. But I am wondering if it people from abroad can take part too as it only asks for your city and not the country hmmm.

Cool , i think this project is working really well so far Prince looks like he's broken new ground with this euro deal! cool

Le concept de la gratuité exclusive me dépasse, mais il faut admettre que c'est une belle façon de se faire des sous.

It's sad because an artist as great as Prince has to resort to this, in "regular" ways his music cannot be heard anymore due to the industry being fucked up. This newspaper deal will get his biggest attention in Europe since probably the 80s. It's just weird that music is THIS disposable now. But we need to remember Prince is lucky he can pull a stunt like this, it's not like other 80s acts who stopped having chart success can do this.

I would imagine.

And yes, as I said before, it's completely anachronistic and hypocritical of Prince to require this (based on his comments about iTunes) considering it's one of the trappings of an industry he railed against for so long, and one in particular that bit him in the ass with that last huge contract he signed with WB.

But dare I say - and God forgive me for saying it - if he can still get someone to fall for it, AND get his music out there with it, AND get the positive publicity for it, then .... more power to him. [said through gritted teeth]

Hopefully, this is either to ensure a uniform release date of the 10th (i.e to avoid downloading), or a manufacturing problem.

If the entire Europe deal is cancelled there is going to be some flak, because 'The Mirror' in the UK is heavily promoting it.
