PE may still come but in what form & when who knows? Technically they could release the 3EG album under a different Label if they signed it as the collective name 3rd Eye Girl with no reference to Prince (IE Prince ft 3EG), as it is only Prince (Solo) signed to Warner Brothers the group can have a seperate label, but im sure Warner borther would rather be involved in it than them do this.

.

I bet WB has some pretty nasty clauses in the PR/masters contract to prevent such shenanigans.

Possibly, but I bet they pretty much bowed down to the majority of P's demands too to get him on board, so frustrating that his camp wont just confirm where its at, unless they genuinely don't know.

release it with Prince CD and PR remaster as bundle

Anything new needs to be as far removed from those remasters as possible.

.

.

If whats being said about the PR remaster is true the new Prince record will be released at the same time, but not in a bundle.

.

.

Personally I just think they should put out a limited run of Plectrum Electrum Vinyl, say 20-30,000 copies then once sold out it goes on sale in MP3 format

On the one hand you've got Prince showing real support, love and encouragement to this new generation of musicians - in Manchester he said "as much as I do this for me and you, I do this for them", (or words to that effect) meaning 3EG. So I'm sure he wouldn't leave them without some sort of recording to their name. Liv has an album after all.

Then on the other hand, did he mention Plectrum Electrum, the album, AT ALL during the second leg of the tour? I don't think so.

no but he did play the title track every night, with the only lyric being What Is Plectrum Electrum?

Well that's not quite the same thing as mentioning it.

.

Let's not forget (btw) that Plectrum Electrum, the track, is Donna's track "Elektra".

This album should be a special 'thank you bonus' to the fans who buy the Deluxe Edition version of the Purple Rain remastered set.He could set it up with Best Buy.You go to best Buy,buy your deluxe edition of Purple Rain,and you get a free 'Plectrum Electrum' CD with your order.

problem solved

Hey, I've got a pretty clever idea--he could release it as a symbol, kind of like that microphone stand he's using. That would be so cool--and I'm sure Warner would never think to stop that sort of thing.

That's kinda a different thing though, because the Symbol, was still just Prince as a solo artist which was what he was signed under at WB, its slightly different when it's a group

I don't think I've ever seen a best buy in the uk

BEst Buy Europe started as a joint venture with Carphone Warehouse they planned to open loads but only managed 11 stores which eventually closed down

Why would they? It's not like he had the strongest position.

Which is bad enough. I can only hope WB does it best to bury it while shining a massive spotlight on PR.

'The ONLY classic from Prince this year!'

Prince should just fire all of his marketing people and just hire us to sort out promotion.

i dont know how people would TRY to promote his music..but the best way is to play someone an obscure track
