Pochi giorni alla pubblicazione di “Art Official Age” e “PlectrumElectrum”. Oggi ho avuto la conferma dal mio negozio di fiducia che il 30 di settembre mi consegnerà cd e vinile. Ho fatto il preordine, ma la soddisfazione di andare al record-shop a comprarmi i nuovi dischi di Prince non me la toglie nessuno. In attesa eccovi alcuni aggiornamenti e notizie legate all’evento.

In Francia ci sarà un’anteprima dei due album organizzato dalla Warner Music France e la rivista FunkU
