Prince’s New Free CD

Yes that is prince on the bottom right with his high school basketball team.

The Guardian has reported that Prince’s new free CD will be released for free in UK’s sunday edition of the newspaper The Mail on Sunday.

The Mail on Sunday revealed yesterday that the 10-track Planet Earth CD will be available with an “imminent” edition, making it the first place in the world to get the album. Planet Earth will 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. “This is the biggest innovation in newspaper promotions in recent times.”

Of course, the music industry hates the idea:
