Oh I thought it was released but nobody had it cuz it was so exspensive.I think I heard Prince say he just gave it away to alot of people, all you had 2 do was ask for it and he would give it away to you for free and Prince also said something like once you had it, u didn't have 2 ask premission 2 sample any of his stuff

It was never released, although it was advertised...and Prince never gave it away to anyone - or if he did, nobody knows about it. Since when have you known Prince to give stuff away for free, anyway?

If he were to release something like that I think he would become even more watered down than he already is.Maybe thats just me and my biased opinion.---MinneapolisFunk

He wanted 100,000 pre orders before he would let it out.
He obviously did not get it!!

Well lets see. I got a free CD single at the celebration, a free movie ticket, from 1800 Newfunk, I got a several free lyric books, a poster, Tshirt, cassette single. We also got the free mp3 file on the site from the celebration as he mentioned while onstage. These were things that were not included in the price of the celebration ticket.

Snipe if you will be I know what I got for free from Prince and I appreciate it.

I've sampled all the Linn drums I need from his albums and that's all I need. I prefer to make my own shit instead of remixing Prince's...

why don't we all email NPGMC and ask them to release it? I'd buy one. That's for damn sure.

You're right, LaMont...Prince is a humanitarian, always hooking up his fans with freebies and downloads that they don't have to pay for...you're right.

I bet you consider the Reflection download as "free" too, huh? You probably consider Xpectation to be free. Jeez.

I remember coming home to a package from 1-800-NEW-FUNK with a free cassette of "The War"

So he does give things away for free.

And I remember coming home and waiting for Crystal Ball, and The War, but they never came. In fact, they never arrived. Still waiting on them. The credit charge went thru, but they never arrived.

Prince not only doesn't like to give things away, he doesn't like to fill orders when he takes your money. That is my perspective.

Yes, from NEW FUNK. They were rude and kept promising Crystal Ball, then CB and Kamasutra, then CB, Kamasutra, a T shirt and eventually all of that and THE WAR. I never got any of it, and when I disputed it, they said, "oh, that was from another company. We've switched vendors."

Last time I bought anything directly from Prince.
