Where did this album come from and when was it released? It seems like it came right after ONA Live. Are the songs that are out now bootlegs or was this an NPG club exclusive that was sent out to the members? I'm so confused . Darn Prince and his confusing no advertising self!

You answered your own question.

Oh, so it was a download. I thought it was an actual CD that was released.

and it is a kinda boring record, not bad but boring...

There were strong rumors that it would get an official release in april.

I can't see why, this is not a commercial album at all.

Xpedition is killer.

every Prince album/song/film/whatever has its own mood,& moment 2 shine.

I downloaded the whole thing from kazaa.com almost right after it came out to the NPGMC members.
