I finally recieved my copy from Electric Fetus. Pretty good CD. Nice addition to the collection. Phase 3 ???? Hmm....

In the unlikely event anyone is still waiiting to decide, I ordered my copy online from Electric Fetus on February 11th & received it in the mail today. As considerable tme had passed, I was of course worried, but the CD arrived, nicely packaged & while I got the PayPal receipt immediately on ordering, the shipping e-mail was sent only 2 days ago. I'm in the U.S.

recieved my funk4u order in the uk, forgot about import tax as i ordered 2 with the cheap postage, still cheaper than EF which've oncurred the tax with 1 cd, minimum spend of £15 without tax. happy to have it now.

I downloaded mine through ITunes yesterday. Though Apple annoy me in their tax avoidance it automatically synchs it onto all devices which is helpful for the technically challenged.

This album seems a mix of Musicology styles with a touch of Rainbow Children. Some super laid back tracks. I had Extraloveable, RocknRoll LA, Screwdriver and Groovy Potential, (not sure from where and when) but all cool. Have to listen more to see how they fit the overal flow, as Revelation and others all new to me. Female vocals are suberb on all tracks (not sure who they are), and just love the bassy sound throughout, very little screeching guitar, thank you Prince!

Baltimore 'If there ain't no justice then there ain't no peace.' Love love love the end..... Yeah America, you have become so desensitized to gun violoence it's like a fish swimming in water, ignorant of its immersion.

2 Y. 2 D. Hhmmmm interesting....nice beat and horns, got to get into the lyrics.

Look at me - Wow! Intro reminds me of Strolling and the lyrics of The Rainbow Children CD in parts. Beautifully produced, perfect lyrics, voice, harmonies, keys, flute and sax, blended so delicately. And good old Prince being Prince 'Got to feel myself when I look at you.' Aren't we older fans lucky that we can still listen to our teenager favourite artist, still making us fantasize about being the most beautiful people on earth.

Stare Funky bass! Part two of Dance for me? Sounds so nice with the horns. Oops Kiss! and Sexy dancer.... cool, doesn't follow any rules, free kind of polished jamming. Me gusta! Especially the 'ha ha ha' and extended ending.

When she comes - Impossible to ever find a favourite order of Prince ballads when these new gems keep arriving - the minimalism always showwcases his talent. Ending also perfect.

Black Muse WOW! Who does the female vocals? PERFECT! Sound just gets better and better the whole way through. It's a mini TRC cd'tje Is it a mix of R&B, Blues and Jazz? What do I know I am just a white girl who digs every element in this song! This is what I would call my MPLS sound. Step aside Chicago House. I don't understand why the 'sea is dirty' or how 'two unbroken circles make a butterfly' but it's cool, the music is literally to die for. My cup of tea 1000 over! This is background music you can put when friends come over to get them into Prince without sudden wild guitar scheechings distrubing the volum. Black Moon Daughter synonymous of Black Muse? 1000 light years from here... who cares brilliant

Revelation Think I heard this or some of it a while ago. But out of context (without the CD build up) it didn't sound as stunning as it does in this place on the CD. Wow.... just wow..... Another intimate whisper from Prince takes me back to TRC.

Big City Thank god he ends with this. One has definitely gone off positively into the deep end after Revelation. This is a wake up call back to reality. Happy, fun, collective track. So much nicer than 20Ten's ''Everybody loves me"

THANK YOU PRINCE! You're a star! In one week I have been torn away from S. Rushdie's Satanic Verses, PS Path of Neo and my DVD collection to just over indulge in listening to some of the greatest music on earth. Tu est adorable! I am now so in the mood for summer And to assist my listening you now have your own IPOD. So much easier to find everything.

Got my copy from Electric Fetus. It took them 2 weeks to acknowledge the order, just as I was about to send a prodding email they dispatched it and let me know. Arrived in Ireland in less than a week then. Not the best service ever but did the job and fast shipping when it was finally sent.

why hasnt best buy bought these to sell??

.

Joy of the concerts here, 1 CD for each show. Meant I could open and play one and keep the other sealed. They play real well too.

I think it's rather interesting that the booklet features the lyrics for Black Muse, but not the second half (AKA 1000 Light Years Away).

do cd giveaways at shows count as sales????

They counted 4 Janet. So I'm sure it counts 4 ....He'so brilliant! With the success of his MEGA Piano & Microphone tour that's selling out on EVERY date....

My cd arrived today in great condition from Funk4U.

Ordered on 5th of Feb ($19.30).

I am in Plymouth, England.

Happy its here.

I grew up there. Keyham and then Eggbuckland. Folks live in Tamerton Foliot. Sister lives by the Skylark pub just out of town. Went to Penlee Secondary (Stoke Dameral Comp now?). Had a pooh once in the fountain of the open-air swimming pool on the Hoe. It was off at the time.

If you don't have it yet, you can get in on eBay for under $15. Supposedly straight from Paisly Park. The seller claims to be NPG's offical Peer2Peer distributor. Got mine today. Loving it so far.

its sold in Richmond VA .. .creepin up the coast....when does it hit NY???

For those of you interested, I received an email from Funk4U. They have new shipping rates, you can additionally save on shipping by ordering two CD's.

Ordered mine there when the had low international shipping rates for 1 cd, took some time but all went well.

Accoring to the mail they delivered over 200 orders around the world since February.

Looks like it is officially being distributed now. Amazon pre-order $12.99
