Title: "The Chaos and the Emancipation"
Written By: Diego E. Manrique

[Translated by Gerard]

Prince has stopped to pull the petals off the market: his new records, released by New Power Generation Records, will be distributed worldwide by the team EMI-Capitol. To make his rancor clear in the matter of his anterior record company, Warner - where he recorded Chaos and Disorder, his premonitory farewell of the label-, his launch with the new label will be a triple disc entitled Emancipation ( it will be released on November the 19th, declared unilaterally "Day of the Emancipation"). The Artist Formerly Known as Prince - his new personal naming- doesn’t speak about money on this occasion; he knows by now, after having announced worldwide the numbers of his "contract of the century" with Warner, that the accounting of the record industry has it's own peculiarities. But he must be need of cash flow: he has just closed his shop in London, an absurd caprice that pretended to sale a very high price objects related to him, even it was situated in a very popular area.
