Geo V Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 I think this sunday sees the release of Princes new album (or is he still called symbol?) and he is taking the unprecedented step of releasing it via a sunday paper. If you havent heard the story you can read up here.. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle2064368.ece Im not a fan of his but i`ll buy the paper if any shops will be stocking it. Im sure theer is some money to be made on this by selling it to the Americans via ebay but I get the feeling buying one paper will be difficult enough Crazy stuff and lets hope some decent bands start following suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Fox Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 This is a tremendous idea! I hope more artists take offers like that. Prince has done ok out of it fully knowing he is not as popular as he was and the album is freely available on the web. Nice move, Mail people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bob Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 Odd move for Prince, I believe he is bankrupt and needs all the cash he can get. I know he is not as popular as he used to be but surely he would have made more money out of sales than he would from the paper. I think it under values his work as if to say I couldnt get a decent album together but here is the one I did and you can have it for free.

dandannieldanok Posted 13 July 2007 Share Posted 13 July 2007 We get the Mail on Sunday delivered anyway so I suppose I'll have a quick listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo V Posted 13 July 2007 Author Share Posted 13 July 2007 I think he is getting £500,000 for the deal. It doesnt seem like much but then again plenty of artists can crack out an album in a day if need be so this may be shite. Then again he has never been any good but it may make an ideal gift to my cousins who are coming over from Cyprus who are about 20 years behind the music scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stez Posted 14 July 2007 Share Posted 14 July 2007 hmmm, i've just heard it and, apart from 3 songs (guitar, the one u wanna c and chelsea rodgers) the rest is pretty dull to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 14 July 2007 Share Posted 14 July 2007 I couldn't care less about Prince but I always get the Mail on Sunday, I just hope there's 1 left when I get to the newsagents, I'd hate to have to get the Express or NOTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
