Ian nailed it on the head. he said he missed picking up a cd at the record shop. i feel the same way. ever since Prince left WB, it has been sooo difficult getting his music into your hands.
ever since Crystall Ball was sold on the net, it has been one thing after another. the only time that his 'freedom' music was readily available on the release date was with Emancipation and Rave.
what does that say?

i didn't buy The Best of...from a couple of years ago becuz i didn't want to give WB my money (yes, i know P gets money too) but it was so easy to get. i was so dissapointed that a new Prince cd was out on time, but, hey whadda you know, i have all those tracks already.
i wish he would get it together. stupid me, i'm still going to but NEWS.

It's true...

Crystal ball (I oredered from HMV and had to wait weeks)
Rave (I bought in the store, simple enough that time)
Rave In2 (Had to get from the net for £45)
Rainbow children (searching stores for a couple weeks)
ONA [piano] (Haven't found an original, I've got a CD-R])
ONA live (Found by accident in Portsmeth several miles from my home town)

It's always worth it when you get it though, there is nother wrong with the music, it's just the bisiness!
