NEWS CD and inlay oddities

What is the significance of the two letters on the NEWS CD. I think they're 'r' and 'n' if I remember correctly. They're just on the CD, on their own, doing nothing in particular.

Also, when was this recorded. The CD and tray underneath it have 2002, while the sleeve says 2003.

Also, what is the significance of the arrow on the CD pointing to number 22?

Is there any significance to all of this?

One last thing. Isn't it just so Prince to mispell saxophone? big grin

yeah i wondered about that, basically the concept of the album and it was all designed around the end of 2002? so before people even got the xpectation album he had planned his next album! so think all that time "fans" spent bitching about him he was working on two albums! no wonder the mans insane!

I also thought the 'saxaphone' thing was funny but I saw Miles Davis' Live in Paris DVD today and on the backcover it clearly says 'saxAphone'. Is there something we all should know about?

Yes. Musical geniuses are not spelling geniuses. And have shitty copy editors.
