Why you won't see NEWS in the bargain bins. Musictoday (the company distributing it for Prince, and the company that brick and mortar retail stores are ordering copies through) is not allowing returns.
Just thought I'd throw that out there after getting off the phone with Tower. | |

I actually haven't seen it in the stores. Tower Records doesn't sell it. Other chains aren't carrying it. What gives? Doesn't he want us to have a copy of it? Damn! First ONA LIVE being a tough find, and now this. How can that man dance when he keeps shooting himself in the foot? The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

Well I work in retail and basically NEWS was undermanufactured,there are still orders not filled yet.
As for the NO RETURN policy it is true, thats why some chains shyed away from it and some bought very small quantities, the company I work for bought about 5,000, but so far only half have gone to stores and most of the other half has sold. This is the same deal as the BOX SET had, no returns, which in the end is a good way to do business for PRINCE even though some retailers wont carry it, alot will just in limited supply.

Being a Prince fan just gets harder & harder.
I'm hanging in there but I'm tired. | |

I've seen NEWS sold at Virgin; ONA Live at Best Buy...also deepdiscountcd.com has ONA Live for $38...my NEWS cd is still backordered there though and didn't want to pick it up at Virgin because I might end up with multiple copies if deepdiscount sends it to me...
