Prince’s Songs Illegally Recorded on a Norwegian Cover Album

Posted by Brian

Prince is suing the bosses of a Norwegian record company after learning they released a five-CD cover album full of his hits without his permission.  The 81-track package, entitled Shockadelica, features Norwegian artists performing hits like Purple Rain and Sign O’ The Times.

The cheeky music executives at C + C Records inadvertently alerted Prince to the limited-edition package when they sent him a copy, according to RollingStone.com.

The pop superstar’s lawyers have ordered the Norwegians to destroy all copies of the album.

This is like robbing somebody without a mask and then sending them the videotape of the robbery.  There’s some serious lunchin’ going on here.  The record better hope Prince’s people are only asking them to destroy the albums.

    This is more than just a Prince-tribute album. This is actually EVERYTHING the Norwegian musical scene has to offer 2008. All is made with love to the world’s greatest artist ever, Prince.
