It was £6.84 yesterday. Isn't the CD single 6 tracks?

£6.84 was the price I paid to pre order. Seems that now that it's out and about, amazon have beefed up the price.

We should be OK as there's a pre-order price guarantee...

You can also order it on Purplemusic.ch I think that's better because Amazon has a lot of orders now so.. that might be one of the reasons.

Yes but Freaker and I pre ordered it. There should be no problem. Amazon just don't have it yet, simple as.

Not unusual in Princeworld, unfortunately. But if you stick to your guns and a few copies are sent out to pre-orders first before they're withdrawn, you have a future collectible of sorts.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

No sign of the cd as yet, but £16 for the pic disc seems a bit pricey.

I'm not a patient man so i cancelled the order!!!

I looked at Purplemusicc.ch, they seem to have them available to download but couldn't get the single to get added to the 'basket' so I wonder if the physical release has been pulled?!

It's strange that such a company as Amazon enables you to pre-order but then has them out of stock.....it implies the supplier or purplemusic fucked up or at least cancelled the release...they shouldn't have underestimated the demand as that's what pre-ordering is for!!

^^The physical release cannot have been pulled, they are selling the vinyls on ebay and they are in stock and have a 3 day delivery time.

I'm with you on amazon though. I pre order things a lot, and I have never encountered such a delay before. However, I do know of at least one person who also pre ordered from amazon and their cd was dispatched to them with no delay. neutral

So far no news from PurpleMusic about shipping. Ordered it on 10th. and recall that release date has been set to 12th on their website. Will see if and when I will get any notification about shipping. Should be within this week, if everything works proper.

Got it.

I'm in Italy and I ordered to my local shop, getting it yesterday.

To be honest, a weak release.

Nothing interesting (remixes are very bad, let's say it) and a cardboard sleeve, which I really hate.

Played it once, and already to collect dust with similar releases.

Got a notification yesterday my copy was despatched, but from an Amazon seller - I didn't go with Amazon themselves even though they were a couple of quid cheaper because of the 1-3 weeks thing (which usually means release blackhole).

Cool that you finally got your copy. I'm still waiting. I did get my 12inch pic disc today (ebay purchase) and it's a fine looking thing.

Arrived today in it's cruddy little card slipcase. 6 tracks though, I think that's the most tracks on a P. single since....... 1999:TNM?! I dunno.

What an oddity of a release though. A track from 2 albums back, released on a tiny eurotrash label, with practically zero promo. Just a tiny little oddity in the P. catalog I guess.

Any way ripped and filed away for all eternity zzz

From what I've seen online that 12in picture disc looks pretty cool, would look nice hanged up.

I heard there selling it in some of those specialised record shops, I'm probably gonna buy mine from there esp with the xmas post on.

No eurotrash label wink..a well known label from an well known DJ...

Some of the mixes are quite good and it is available everywhere on i-tunes...

Why should he make big promotion for a single release like that? Now that would be funny!

It is just a little side project...

It does look nice indeed, I will never play it of course, it was bought for collecting reasons.

I bought it from Sister Ray Records in Soho. wink

It would be so cool to be in there trying to find a Prince record and to turn around and see the man himself....that would be so cool!
