Oh! I can hear Columbia doing Morris' "That cricket is working my last nerve" speech from Graffiti Bridge! Friggin Prince lol In a message dated 7/4/07 10:06:31 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Columbia is not happy because it damages the relationship they have with their retailers in England, so just the UK branch of SONY BMG pulled out... because their retailers were upset. Columbia overall is probably still miffed because apparently this deal was in the works before he got into talks with them, and it's unclear whether they knew it or not. I'm sure Columbia hoped to make a lot of money servicing retail outlets in the UK on the back of Prince's 21 night run. The biggest marketing opportunity locally in the UK and his move undercuts that by already saturating the market and side-stepping their distribution outlets by using his own (a newspaper & concert). ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
