The Guardian: Prince to launch new album as free newspaper giveaway
Nu tycker jag personligen att det var länge sedan Prince var en relevant artist, men det är ju onekligen en ny taktik att få ut sina skivor.Prince is launching his new Planet Earth album as a free giveaway with a national Sunday newspaper in a move that has drawn widespread condemnation from music retailers.
The 10-track CD will be available free with an "imminent" edition of the newspaper. Planet Earth will then go on sale on July 24.
"It's all about giving music for the masses and he believes in spreading the music he produces to as many people as possible," said Mail on Sunday managing director Stephen Miron.
