NEW PRINCE BOOK????

I am looking online at loads of online book sellers for the book Prince: Life & Times by Jason Draper to buy at a discount rate and in all online book stores search engines I type "Jason Draper" and in the results there is always listed another Prince book entitled Prince: Chaos, Disorder & Revolution with the option of pre-ordering it as its not yet released untill next year!!!

Does anyone else know of this new book?? It looks very interesting judging by the cover alone!!!biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin

An educated guess is that this is a softcover version of Life And Times - maybe updated a bit.

The publisher:

Prince
Chaos, Disorder, and Revolution
Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Format: Softcover
Author: Jason Draper
Release Date: 03/15/2011
Prince has cut a singular path through the heart of popular music for more than 30 years. After making some of most inventive albums of the '80s – including 1999, Purple Rain, and Sign of the Times – he turned his attention to redefining his role in the music industry, changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol, declaring war on his record label, Warner Bros, and leading the internet revolution. His subsequent career has had many ups and downs, but he remains a major commercial and artistic force, as evidenced by his ability to sell out the O2 Arena in London for 21 nights in succession in 2007. In 2010 he announced that the internet was “over” and released his latest album, 20Ten, as a free cover-mounted CD with several European publications. Prince: Chaos, Disorder, and Revolution is an authoritative chronicle of one of popular music's true mavericks. Covering every album, every movie, and every tour, it includes profiles of various key collaborators, assesses the artist's various business dealings, and details his many and varied side projects – on stage, on record, on screen, and beyond.

Prince always has been under-represented in the book department. It's disappointing walking into Waterstones and seeing nothing on the man.

Some books are available in some countries and some arent!! The 21 Nights book isnt available in the USA, except on import or online, yet the Life & Times book isnt available here in the UK. Madhousemusic hasnt even got the Life & Times book in their stock, despite various fans in the UK that I know asking them about it and requesting it!!!!sad sad sad

As well as Smiths and HMV!! Even when Borders Bookstores were in operation in this country, it was very hard to buy Prince books, except the 21 Nights book!!!

For the record, the author of two of my FAVORITE music books (one about Dr. Dre and one about Death Row Records) is currently writing a book about Prince. I'm very much looking forward to it but have no idea when it's scheduled to be released.

I understand there's another book being written as well but I don't know anything about it. I'm pretty sure I saw it on a site up for pre-order sometime next year.

Oooo that sounds great! Can't wait for this possibility either.

Any1 interested in this Chaos & Disorder book? Or just awaiting reviews first?

Have no doubts, this will be shite. You'd have to be one of those cunts who writes on rice to fit prince's career into 288 pages.

So Ronnie Ro is going to write about P. This should be good he had a little tidbit about P in the Death Row book so this should be interesting.

I see about 50 copies selling for $5 each every time I go into Borders, and it's been that way for 6 months to a year.. It's definitely available in the US

To have Prince books in a store, someone has to be willing to write them. There aren't even very many books written our published about Prince, so I'm not sure how a bookstore is supposed to carry something that doesn't exist or isn't in print.

And frankly, when books on Prince have been written, they aren't worth the paper they're printed on, with a few exceptions.

I was so disappointed when that Prince In The Studio book got cancelled. It sounded so interesting, a real insight into the man making music. Anyone know what happened? This new book sounds like the usual recycled stuff.

PIPS! Eurgh...

Ronin Ro. And yeah. He's actually posted here on the org before, I imagine whilst he was doing research for the new book.

I've thought this for years. Such a talented well respected well deserved musician yet hardly any books to be found on him. The Vault should have never gone out of print
