Prince gave his latest album away free today in a bundle with a British tabloid, to the fury of music retailers.
The Minneapolis maverick, renowned for his run-ins with the music establishment, will also give away copies of “Planet Earth” at a series of London concerts starting next month.
Paul Quirk, co-chairman of the Entertainment Retailers Association, said Prince’s decision to give away the album, which is not scheduled to go on sale until July 24, with copies of the Mail on Sunday “beggared belief.”
“The Artist Formerly Known as Prince should know that with behavior like this he will soon be the Artist Formerly Available in Record Stores,” said Quirk in reference to the 1990s when the star stopped using his name.
“It’s an insult to all those record stores who have supported Prince throughout his career,” he said.

I have to appauld prince for stepping out of the machine that is the music industry and bringing his music to his fans.
very well said miss k. maybe if more artists did this people would be motivated to actually buy the music, not just steal it from the internet.
Personally, I wouldn’t want a Prince album even if someone paid me to take it… but I think it’s cool that he did that. It’s about time there were some artists out there who didn’t bitch and cry every time someone downloaded one of their songs.
prince was hot in his day…now he’s looking kinda michael jacksonish.
