What about physical media?

Rather: physical media via a local (EUROPEAN) distributor.

Anybody?

Nifty. Now, imagine what it'd be like if he had his own web site & we could learn about the latest release of his R&Bythenumbers, instead of having to go to some random hip hop blog for a paragraph blurb & a track list for one album.

No offense to the org, of course, as I've been coming here for nearly 20 years, but his inability to maintain an official web presence is beyond pathetic at this point.

You mean like 3rdeyegirl.com? Where there's an announcement of the release dates and links to pre-order the music, you mean that kind of official page?

So a few comments:

.

1. The artwork from AOA is not that subtle, but I kinda like it. Using the platinum album as clouds, but also creating a series with his 'fro being the center shape roughly the same size as the records. Kinda cool. Also ties in with the song Clouds and its message relating to The Cloud (digital storage). Finally, it creates a message of "Purple Rain was behind me, 3rd Eye (hint: glasses) is ahead of me . . .".

.

2. For the Org, we need to figure out how to abbreviate PlectrumElectrum once and for all. PE is taken for Planet Earth, and P is taken for Prince himself (PlectrumElectrum is technically one word). PE2?

We already have Apples, Tangerine, Cherry Cherry, Raspberry Beret and Strawberry Lover . . . so why not add a PLUM to the list?

Some OFFICIAL info from WB:

* Both albums will be on Vinyl.

*The album releases will also be marked by a series of very special events taking place globally, to be confirmed shortly.

* ‘ART OFFICIAL AGE’ and ‘PLECTRUMELECTRUM’ offering two very distinct listening experiences.

*‘ART OFFICIAL AGE’ is a classic Prince album, produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince and Joshua Welton Sonically the record is a contemporary concoction of soul, R&B and funk. The melodies are immediate and prominent as ever and Prince’s vocals are rich and solid, taking full advantage of his vocal range with decidedly, seductive lyrics.

*‘PLECTRUMELECTRUM’ is a classic band record, with 3RDEYEGIRL, Recorded live and in analog the album is an electrifying funk-rock statement.

*More live dates will be confirmed shortly.

You mean that which will be a completely meaningless site when he gets bored with this band & moves onto his next project (see LotusFlower.com, 1800NewFunk.com, NPGMusicClub.com?) & one that has a silly URL to boot? Do you suffer from short term memory, are you a glutton for punishment, or are you new here?

Now, I know that I'm not a one-named, one-time international pop superstar in my declining years or anything, but I'm pretty sure that if I were, I could put a .com at the end of my name & hire someone to put together a decent web site, which I could use to promote projects as they're released, not a different web site for each project - madonna.com? sting.com? Not exactly without precedent.

Clearly, the Internet has been resurrected in Prince's mind - how about an actual legitimate & lasting presence where fans can do more than buy a coffee mug?

You can order your physical copy directly via Warner:

http://prince.warnerartists.net/

RE Funknroll on both:

Beautiful, Loved & Blessed from 3121 was intended to also be on Tamar's album...

1) for me, the song "Clouds" is still "Pending" after 5-6 hours, the download link does not work!

2) like others here, I did not get the promissed 15% discount off, for buying both albums

3) I need to buy the vinyls, I did not see any vinyl LP's on the european site:

thanks a lot,

You do know, that link sends me to Australia to buy the vinyl..

I am a little confused, can't I buy the vinyl in Europe (I hope I'm not to un-grateful asking this..)

Frankly, if you're not excited about two new albums from Prince, when it's been 4 years since his last one, you don't belong on this site. I'm ecstatic! And "Clouds" is absolutely killer.

amen.

Vinyl?

No prob! I ordered it for the US, and just bit the bullet on the price. You should snatch it up! I'm sure they do international shipping ...

I recorded the Good Morning America clip.

I created a store acct, ordered both albums, obtained the discount and downloaded all 3 tracks without delay. Customers who live outside of the States are having problems, yes?
