Musicology: The seller ripped me off!!!

Just a warning, never buy Musicology from an amazon seller named RoyalMedia.

I got sent Musicology in a thin jewel case--an obvious bootleg. I paid $12.48, money I could have spent directly on Prince. But instead this guy is copying shit and making money.

The business letter he sent in the package was full of typos and very unprofessional.

Im gonna email this moron and try to settle this dispute. Im demanding a full refund. If I dont get it Im submitting a claim against him to Amazon AND Im notifying NPGMC.

Actually, Ill notify NPGMC either way. angel

Oh, and quick review: I have to listen to it some more because at first listen I thought it sucked and was a lot like New Power Soul. Two songs may grow on me however: The Marrying Kind and What Do U Want Me To Do? But overall, nothing special. I *think* I like TRC better.

(Cinnamon Girl sux! Holy crap it sounds like Damned If Eye Do! Ill write my DEFINITIVE review after some more listens, this is by no means final.)

That's all folks.

I think this was neither. It was a jewel case, very thin...and he put some adhesive strip that said RoyalMedia over the edge that was a pain in the ass to get off. Its like he was trying to make it look official or something. As if Im dumb!

Well, what the hell do you expect when you don't go to a store and buy things legit?? Stop whining and moaning about being dumb and chalk this up to a learning experience. Even my closest friends have to go out and buy their own Musicology CD since I wouldn't make a dub for them. Now say this with me: NO MORE BOOTLEG CDS. duh
Put the spoon down honey, come on let mama feed you!

Hey thats an unfair review....NPS had virtually no guitar in it.

And even though I prefer TRC, I think Musicology is a great album and it WILL grow on you.

Yeah - why did you buy from an amazon buyer?
Its available in stores & it doesn't sound like you got that great a deal.

Bootleg? Sounds more like a pirate copy, and IMHO that's much worse than a bootleg.
