New CD given away free; a good move

IMO, giving away the new CD at the concerts is a pretty smart move.
Prince wants to people to hear his new music, and figures a big-time hits tour will draw large crowds. Virtually every one of the thousands who show up each night will listen to the CD. If P comes with the good S*** this time around, he may pick up legions of new fans, or at least re-interest casual fans in his new music.

Who said it is "the new CD". It could be NEWS...or old copies of Rave that were taking up space in the warehouse. I doubt he'll give away copies of the new album.

I thought the same thing. It could be stuff that just stacked up somewhere.

I'm hoping that it's something special a one an only type deal like during the Hit and Run Tours.

Yeah, most likely it will be something he can't shift from the back of the paisley warehouse - copies of NEWS and stuff like that.

Hoping for something new, but it's more unlikely than likely.

To be honest, I wouldn't be too happy if he really gives out such free copies (and I think it's very unlikely). Cool for those who are there, but what about the vast majority that isn't?

The message on the Penn State poster
says"get the NEW cd."
Of course at this point NEWS is the newest cd
but my GUESS is its MUSICOLOGY.

I think this free giveaway is a great idea.
The majority of the times
a long term big time rock/pop star like Prince
releases a cd of new songs & tours
what happens is the tour is extremely successful
while the cd only has so-so sales.
The free cd will re-introduce the fans to his music
which hopefully will translate into sales.
