Prince’s new 10-track CD Planet Earth will be included with this weekend’s Mail on Sunday. Retailers are furious because this album isn’t supposed to be out until July 24th! Nobody has ever done this before and it seems exciting to me! Either way many people disagree with this tactic to promote his record.
“It is an insult to all those record stores who have supported Prince throughout his career. It is yet another example of the damaging covermount culture which is destroying any perception of value around recorded music,” Quirk told a music conference in London on Thursday.
I think Prince really doesn’t care about a few million album sales! He is trying to give his fans the cd and I think that is really nice.
“Miron declined to say how many additional copies were planned by the newspaper, whose circulation is normally around 2.3 million copies, or how much the Mail on Sunday had paid to secure the deal with Prince.”
Many of the record stores are refusing to sell Prince’s new album. What a joke! They are all just greedy bast*rds!
