<Prince became the first major artist to release an entire album--1997's Crystal Ball--exclusively on the Web.> This is pretty funny considering the fiasco it was trying to get Crystal Ball. First of all, I don't remember ordering it from the web. Maybe I did, but I recall there was a whole to do about the orders shipping and apparently 1-800-New-Funk had lost a lot of the orders. Everyone went nuts trying to call and find out if their order was in the system and when it was going to ship. I remember I was on hold for three hours. When I finally did get an operator she informed me the computers just went down and she couldn't check the status of my order. I called the next day and after waiting an hour I was told they had no record of my order. If I wanted to I could place it again but would have to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery. I said no thanks and the next day I went to Blockbuster where it was on sale for less than the 1-800-New-Funk price, albeit without the Kamasutra CD. Web exclusive my ass! For this he gets an award?
