It's because you have to purchase the album as a whole

You cant just purchase individual singles from the GB album on itunes.

I wanted another version of Elephants and Flowers for my ipod and i had to purchase the whole god damn album just to get it.

Ole well

Prince's greatest hits cd's always sell consistently well, so that is no surprise to me. But Graffiti Bridge is a surprise. But the cd goes all over the place in music from gospal to funk to jazz to pop to RnB. So U get all of Prince plus a lil Morris & a young soulful Tevin.

your itunes doesn't rip cd's?

it always surprises me when i realize people still pay for music

Do people pay you for your work?

Thats really surprising. I got Graffiti Bridge in amazing condition for $3.00 (Including shipping) on the used section on Amazon. People need to realize that getting CDs on amazon are much cheaper than on iTunes.

On a side note.

true, i notice with older artist their greatest hits sells consistently well

It don't. If I still used iTunes and the cards I used to buy without having to actually pay, I'd buy from there too. And I still go to stores to buy music. So no surprise. My surprise is Prince is even on iTunes like that but it's all good.

@ you and Genesia asking him the same question. I wanna know his answer.

i guess you guys wouldnt download a car

^ If that was possible, it'll be illegal in 50 states. No one would try it because that'll be hard to do.

what if it was as easy and safe as downloading a song, would you then?

Damn, people need to understand that each prince album going from 80-87 atleast are alot better than the best of albums.

Casuals don't want to do that kind of work! They want to be TOLD what's good! A best of will do that just fine, don't wake them up, they enjoy their long sleep.

Hey: it's still a percentage and still money, no matter how much it is.

uuhson said:

That's not really what you said is it. Buying a concert ticket is still paying for music.

But artists choose that road. They weren't forced to sign a record contract. If you're against that system, you should also be against those artists within the system. But you really don't care, and you argue like this just to hide your selfishness.

Exactly.

Yeah I've never bought anything from ITunes...so much easier to download from usenet or BT or many other places. But people pay for the convenience and to make up for their lack of tech savvy, i guess.

true, i notice with older artist their greatest hits sells consistently well

Also Prince's greatest hits cd's skyrocketed up the charts, after his mega best #1 per4mance of the 2007 Superbowl halftime show. I think that is what really woke Prince up, to start catering to his casual fans. He started playing his older hits more consistently live. Meanwhile ranking in mega royalty profits from his old catalog.

Exactly!! No matter how he claims that he didn't want Ultimate and Greatest Hits released, I'm sure that his royalities from those projects are pretty good.
