Personally though, I hate these exclusive deals because ultimately there will be some fans that will have a hard time getting it. Also, it forces you to shop someplace you may ordinarily not go to or want to patronize. I have a relative who works at Target so I'll have him pick it up for me. Tom Moderator: Yup posted that last night. Considering there is no Target stores in New York City, I wonder who is doing the fulfillment for his website. I am afraid to order anything directly from Prince anymore. I guess I will have to order it form Target's website or got White Plains Target. -Derek - NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org - Unsubscribe?

Re: NPNY: Prince Signs Deal With Target
There's one in Queens! :-) He must be getting a great advance from them. Christina Ag released an album exclusively through Target late last year - no one bought it. Guns N Roses did Best Buy, with so-so results. Walmart has been successful with Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, etc, but it's been rumored that part of their deal is that Walmart buys a few thousand copies in the first week to help boost sales. I know there are other factors with those albums, but a Target exclusive is pretty much going to guarantee Prince less album sales (obviously). Besides that, I'm excited to get all of the new music at once! I think that's a huge plus. And the $12 price. GREAT! Smart, too. Amil Moderaator: Brilliant because the Bria's album is a throwaway album. Nobody would of normally purchased it anyway. We don't know who she is and most of us don't care. He has done little promote her or create a relationship with his fans. Major misstep on his part. So she will make an easy 100,000 units from the handful Prince of fans left and disappear into obscurity like most Prince protégés -Derek On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 5:23 PM, Sumeet Music sumeetmu...@gmail.com wrote: -- Forwarded message -- From: TA svg...@ix.netcom.com Date: Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 10:12 AM Subject: NPNY: Prince Signs Deal With Target To: npny@lists.panix.com Moderator: Yup posted that last night.
