If you live in the UK, Prince has a gift for you.
Prince’s complete NEW album, Planet Earth, is being given away FREE inside The Mail on Sunday. In a sensational world first, the CD will not be available in shops, but ONLY free with The Mail on Sunday and to ticket holders at Prince’s concerts.
What about the USA? I’m sure he can cut a deal with Jet Magazine.
Prince once again breaks new avenues in promotion and the ‘middle man is not happy’. Prince is giving away 2 million copies of his upcoming album ‘Planet Earth’ with the UK newspaper ‘The Mail On Sunday’, before it’s retail release on July 16th. The UK music industry cries foul.
Here is a taste of the hate:
Entertainment Retailers Association co-chairman Paul Quirk says, “It would be an insult to all those record stores who have supported Prince throughout his career. It would be yet another example of the damaging covermount culture which is destroying any perception of value around recorded music.”
Quirk also hinted that record stores may now boycott Prince’s back catalogue, quipping, “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince should know that with behaviour like this he will soon be the Artist Formerly Available in Record Stores.”
