20Ten not in the Newspaper When it Arrived

The Daily Mirror arrived today, but there was no 20Ten included only a note that said, "Thank you for purchasing a back copy of The Daily Mirror from Saturday, July 10. Please find your Prince 20Ten album inside featuring 10 brand new amazing tracks -- enjoy!"

I have emailed the customer service address that is provided on the bottom of the page where the Prince article appears. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if it took long to resolve it.

And while I am looking for helpful comments, I can't resist saying, "At least y'all can't blame this one on Lotusflow3r.com."

No, you can't. Thankfully, though, this is easily a manufacturing defect rather than a sheer lack of competence and blatant disregard for the customer base.

But i do sympathize. This is a rotten bit of luck, i hope you get it sorted out.

Do you live outside the UK? I tried to fill out the order form, but there was no space for country! It also didn't ask me to pay, so I assume the order didn't go through...

I got mine with the Daily Mirror and I'm in the states. The CD is in the insert, in plastic, with the "Telly" guide.

Thanks for the replies. I did check the insert. What is strange is that the outside plastic was sealed tightly, but the plastic covering the insert that included the We Love Telly was torn or ripped, like the CD was removed, leaving only the other inserts. Hopefully, I will hear from them soon. And maybe this is just karma since I have heard the entire CD, but it would be nice to hear it from an official CD.

And Spinlight, come on man, turn that frown upside down and let a little love and forgiveness into that space where your $77 use to exist. Now, try to have some "Compassion," 'cause you know that "Everybody Loves You," so "Laydown" that anger and walk with us through the "Sea of Everything" so that we can survive and enjoy this "Hot Summer." Of course, none of this stops me from asking one question of my CD: "I am here; where are you?"

I don't know about karma, dude, but from what you're saying, you got ripped off.

I'm sure your copy will arrive. Most people have received their copy. This is just a normal "mishap or mistake." It happens. Either somebody took the CD from the package that I was sent to put it in another package and forgot to replace it before they shipped my package or some other million and one reason could have happened. Maybe if I hadn't heard it or didn't have access to it I'd be trippin' more, but their track record seems to be pretty good. Believe me, with the way we Prince fans complain, we would have heard something by now if more people weren't getting their CDs. Since I like the album so much, I just want an official copy.

Update: I received an email from The Daily Mirror. They acknowledged that a few people hadn't received a CD in their Newspaper, they apologized for the delay in responding, and they stated that they will send me a CD. For anyone interested, I'll keep you posted.

More like "sorry for the inconvenience, and we'll send your CD ASAP." Why be so bitter or sarcastic? These types of mistakes happen all the time. This isn't the first order that I've had to have corrected. And, no, the other orders had nothing to do with Prince.

Yeah, I'm much more of a summer person than a winter person. As a jogger, it's much easier to jog in the summer than the winter. Once my hands, feet, and ears are cold, I'm an entirely different and not so nice person. In fact, heat, food, literature, and music are the only things about which I will not complain about purchasing.

Hahahaha nah that has nothing to do with Prince. I don't know if it was a mistake or what but usually with things like that, it can lead to that claim of being ripped off. I'm thinking that's what your initial thoughts were when you got your issue.
