Anyway, just tryin' to see how it works, when I try to place the order on the 2 CD it comes out a message sayin' these CDs are not ready to order right now.

Am I the only one or is it "normal" at this stage?!?!?!?!?

Might have sold out.

It's so frustrating I think I will buy the Justin Bieber thing instead of this.

Serpan99 on Twitter posted a screenshot of a deleted Prince tweet where he was saying Electric Fetus would be restocked.

No, just delete /status etc

There's also a screenshot of Prince saying that he won't sell through Amazon...

How unexpected.

Let him just tweet about who DOES the distribution!...

The last physical Prince album I have is 20ten which I paid about $5 for via a newspaper and that was about what it's worth. I've never owned physical copies of Lotusflow3r, AOA, whatever the 3rdeyegirl album was called, and Hit N Run phase 1. This shit ain't worth any special effort to get a hold of. Prince doesn't care about them at all - the deal is the only thing that matters to him and nobody wants to give him what he wants anymore. Decent archive releases? Now that's a different story but it's about the only card he has left to play now.

Exactly the same for me. Having them on my computer and phone/devices is enough. I know people want the CD's for their collections but I just don't feel the need anymore. Unless there's something special about the artwork/booklet or if there was a box-set of sorts.

Well yesterday I've found this 6,99€ in very common shop :

Phase One was distributed by Universal, Phase Two won't be (nor any other major or indie record compny).

Electric Fetus (a Minneapolis record store with a legit e-commerce site) has now been cleared to accept online orders for Phase Two and Back In Time.

But, how will they know we're laughing? They'll be no org to tell them...

Glad to buy a physical copy after obtaining the digital version online by...ehrmmm...alternative means. Prince, you got my money. It would be very nice to be able to get the music first from YOU than from a variety of other, faster and easier means.

so when can i walk into a rec store in NYC and buy this thang?

NEVER.

Can't get any national or international distribution. Only local, or grassroots, meaning ONE small record shop in MPLS.

I wonder what's next, get the CD for free with Cap'n Crunch?

what's next... more hit n run albums released on TIDAL... which will make it more harder to even distribute via grassroots ways... because his streaming numbers are probably just as low as his album sales now a days/

Finally bought my copy crying right now
