How come there is 2 different booklet for HNR 2 ?

I bought mine in France, the booklet contains only half of the lyrics, and there is no lyrics at all for the 3 last songs !

Why is that ?!

Is there one with all the lyrics? I bought mine in the US (through Amazon) and it's missing those 3 (and 2Y 2D--do you have that one?).

Back in my day we had Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope. Now we have no jobs, no cash and no hope

I don't have 2Y2D. Worst, some of the other lyrics are also missing...What a thievery.

It seems that only the ELECTRIC FETUS version owns the lyrics. The commercial version must have been printed in a rush...Final bomb in the Prince's career, besides, of course, the fact that you can't purchase any Prince album or songs released between 1994 and 2013...

Wow, that's a shame.. Got mine at Funk4U and it also has all the lyrics.

Curious about the cover of the commercial release: does it have HNR or Rocknroll Loveaffair Phase 2 on it, like it is shown on Amazon and other webshops?

So getting it from Electric Fetus is the only way to get the full lyric booklet?

I'm in the UK and ordered mine from the European store through the mail before it was widely released.... and mine has the complete lyric book.

A thievery? Calm yourself. Sounds like a rush release printing error.

The price in itself is already a thievery : 17 euros for a release with 0 dollar going in the promotion, it's not correct at all. Frankly I can afford it, but what about other people interested in the new Prince album ? 17 euros with no promotion at all ! Nobody ever saw that.

And when you think that most of the copies contains printing error, it's really a shame. So I guess i should just buy another one, hoping it contains all the lyrics...

Its is called HNR 2.

Bought mine from HMV in the UK yesterday. Has lyrics missing, yet seems to be on NPG records. No mention of Universal anywhere on the sleeve at all. Is this usual?

Looking at the layout of the booklet I don't think it's a printing error- it looks like it's done intentionally to cut costs (less pages in book). Pretty shoddy really.

I have HNR 2 and I got it when it was released the week after Prince passed. Funny thing is I called the store to reserve my copy and the clerk said that the album was being delayed and to call back Thursday for a new release date. I called on Thursday and the cd had been rushed out. So maybe the demand was so great that they didn't want to fix or maybe Prince wanted it that way.

Beautiful, Loved and Blessed

Thank You Prince

The one on Electric Fetus now has the same UPC code as other distributors -- so it looks like they no longer have the one with the full lyrics.

I'm just glad there's a centerfold poster of Prince in the booklet. My last album pic of him. sad

Thank you for this.

.

https://funk4u.myshopify.com/ has both the Microphone & Piano tour book and HNRP2 in stock.

.

If people are weary about buying from the shop -- even though skipthecharades didn't have a problem -- you can use your paypal account, which protects you. Which is what I just did.

.

Thank you again.

Is there anything to be gained by trying to swap a CD bought in a UK shop? is there no chance it will have the full booklet?

Sure. If they have both versions. Chances are, they do not.

.

Compare the UPC codes. https://www.discogs.com/P...ter/953258

.

From what I can tell, you want the one with the barcode 7 98576 86832 1. That's the one (from what I can tell) sold by Funk4U and Electric Fetus that has the full lyrics. May be impossible to get though, as the Bremer Trust is doing an audit right now. Funk4U delayed both my and E319's orders (as well as others, I assume.) I've not seen that in any record store I've been to in Seattle.

You are correct about the barcode, I got that one from Funk4U.

I hope you and E319 got your copies at this point.

I took a few weeks before I got mine, and I could not reach F4U by mail at that time (mail bounced). Was happy that I used Paypay indeed, but in the end the delivery was fine (only a broken cd case).
