Prince Teams With Target to Release Three New Albums as 11.99 Bundle

Princes reluctance to release music through a major label wont prevent him from teaming up Rosetta Stone V3 with a major retailer. The singer has inked an exclusive deal with Target to release all three of his new albums as one three-disc set starting March 29th. The package will bundle both Princes guitar-heavy Lotusflow3r and funky MPLSound with Elixir, the debut album by his newest protg, Bria Valente.While these big exclusive deals with retailers are partially the reason why there wont be any more Virgin Megastores come September, its hard to complain at the price: Target will offer the three-album bundle for the recession-friendly price of $11.99. So even if you had no interest at all in Elixir, because you probably didnt, youre still only paying $11.99. The Prince deal catapults Target into the retailers battle over exclusive music, giving them a name as big as Walmarts AC/DC Black Ice or Eagles Long Road Out of Eden and Best Buys ill-fated Chinese Democracy release. So why Target? The press release announcing the partnership gives one big clue: the "Minneapolis-based Target Corporation" is run out of the Purple Ones beloved hometown."Prince has long been renowned as one Cheap Rosetta Stone Software of the worlds most original and iconic musical artists," said Mark Schindele, Targets senior vice president of merchandising. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share his most recent work with our Target guests." Prince also plans to release a whole slew of extras via a membership to his recently launched Lotusflow3r Website, which currently features a song from each of the new albums, photos of Valente and a link to Rock Dailys report from Princes Oscar Party. Prince also recently allowed Rock Daily into his awesome Los Angeles mansion to preview the new albums. I think the reason to start with Escobar was that he had these guys who have been doing this stuff for 25 years. His first hip-hop mentor, Jam Master Jay, was killed execution-style last year. The women were like, "Get away," and the men Rosetta Stone Greek were like, "Dyke, whore, slut."
