The first album bearing the imprint "NPG Records", [[The NPG]]'s [[Album: Gold_Nigga |Gold Nigga]] was released after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] alleged refusal to release that album through [[Paisley Park Records]], a joint venture between [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.]). The record label's motivation for their decision was that they felt [[Prince]] was releasing too much music to be marketed properly and be absorbed by the public, combined with the decreasing sales of his albums and the lake of success of the [[Paisley Park Records]] artists. [[Prince]] rejected the arguments and blamed it on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.]' lack of promotion and felt that the label wanted to limit his artistic freedom. With other contractual aspects like the ownership of the masters, [[Prince]] then lead to a public dispute with the label. | The first album bearing the imprint "NPG Records", [[The NPG]]'s [[Album: Gold_Nigga|Gold Nigga]] was released after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] alleged refusal to release that album through [[Paisley Park Records]], a joint venture between [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.]).

Freed from contractual obligations to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.], [[Prince]] signed a promotion and distribution deal with the major label [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMI EMI]. This agreement allowed [[Prince]] to keep the master tapes, the copyright and benefit a larger share of the royalties. Being the owner of the [[Paisley Park Studios]], [[Prince]] could assume the recording costs, while the label would only be responsible for the manufacturing and the distribution and receive a fee for each copy sold. [[Prince]] would later duplicate this type of agreement with other major labels on other occasions: with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertelsmann_Music_Group BMG Entertainment] ([[Album:_Newpower_Soul|Newpower Soul]]), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arista_Records Arista] (for [[Album:_Rave_Un2_The_Joy_Fantastic |Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]]), [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Records Columbia Records] ([[Album:_Musicology|Musicology]]) , [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Music_Group Universal] ([[Album:_3121|3121]]) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.

[[Album:_The_Rainbow_Children|The Rainbow Children]] was distributed by the independent label Redline Entertainment while [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Because_Music Because Music] would distribute [[Album:_Lotusflow3r|Lotusflow3r]] / [[Album:_MPLSound|MPLSound]] /[[Album: Elixer|Elixer]] in parts of Europe. Some stand-alone singles would also be released after a P&D agreement ([[Single: Rock And Roll Love Affair|Rock And Roll Love Affair]] and [[Single: Screwdriver|Screwdriver]] with the Swiss label [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Music_Switzerland Purple Music]) or as an exclusive release ([[Single: Fallinlove2nite|Fallinlove2nite]] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Records Epic]). | Freed from contractual obligations to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.], [[Prince]] signed a promotion and distribution deal with the major label [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMI EMI].

Through NPG Records, and without a major label interfering with the creative or marketing process, [[Prince]] released as many albums as he wanted. [[Album:_Emancipation |Emancipation]] was his first release after his contractual obligations with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] ended, and the first triple album of new music released by a major artist, ten years after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] refusal to release [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_1986|Crystal Ball]] (which evolved into the double album [[Album:_Sign_O%27_The_Times|Sign O' The Times]] released in 1987). | Through NPG Records, and without a major label interfering with the creative or marketing process, [[Prince]] released as many albums as he wanted.

His first album to be released and distributed independently of any record label by NPG Records was also a triple album, and also named [[Album:_Crystal_Ball|Crystal Ball]]. This collection of outtakes from the vault was initially only available through phone pre-order [[1-800 New Funk]]. Chain-store deals were made to distribute the triple album with [[Album:_The_Truth|The Truth]] album included in the package. Those who ordered the album by phone or online (via Love4oneanother.com ) received a fifth disc, [[Album:_Kamasutra|Kamasutra]], an instrumental album by [[The NPG Orchestra]]. Other records delivered independently to stores include [[Prince]]'s first live album [[Album:_One_Nite_Alone..._Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]], and his final albums [[Album:_Hitnrun_Phase_One|Hitnrun Phase One]] and [[Album:_Hitnrun_Phase_Two |Hitnrun Phase Two]]. | His first album to be released and distributed independently of any record label by NPG Records was also a triple album, and also named [[Album:_Crystal_Ball|Crystal Ball]].

During the second part of the nineties, [[Prince]] saw the Internet as a way to release his music and created a website to stream live material and original songs. In the early 2000s, members of the [[NPG Music Club]] had access to songs released monthly, and digital albums ([[Album: Xpectation|Xpectation]], [[Album: The Chocolate Invasion|The Chocolate Invasion]], [[Album: The Slaughterhouse|The Slaughterhouse]], [[Album: C-Note|C-Note]]), exclusive physical albums or singles that weren't sold elsewhere ([[Album:_Rave_In2_The_Joy_Fantastic|Rave In2The Joy Fantastic]], [[Album:_One_Nite_Alone...|One Nite Alone...]]). | During the second part of the nineties, [[Prince]] saw the Internet as a way to release his music and created a website to stream live material and original songs.

Other ways of distributing music without the help of a major label were explored by [[Prince]] and NPG Records in the 2000s: In 2001, during the [[Hit_N_Run_Tour_00-01|Hit N Run Tour]] and the [[Prince]]: [[A Celebration]], singles pressed independently were sold and weren't available physically elsewhere. Other albums pressed and distributed by NPG Records solely were given to audience members of the [[Musicology_Live_2004ever|Musicology 2004ever Tour]] and [[21_Nights_In_London_:_The_Earth_Tour|21 Nights In London residency]], or to newspapers ([[Album: Planet Earth|Planet Earth]] and [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]]) as a promotional tool. A live album ([[Album:_Indigo_Nights|Indigo Nights]]) was only available for purchase with the [[Book:_21_Nights_(Atria_Books)|21 Nights]] book. | Other ways of distributing music without the help of a major label were explored by [[Prince]] and NPG Records in the 2000s: In 2001, during the [[Hit_N_Run_Tour_00-01|Hit N Run Tour]] and the [[Prince]]: [[A Celebration]], singles pressed independently were sold and weren't available physically elsewhere.

With a low-key or limited release and unconventional ways of distribution, many of [[Prince]]'s albums were not eligible to chart or went unnoticed by the large public. Only albums released jointly with a major label ([[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]], [[Album:_Rave_Un2_The_Joy_Fantastic |Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]], [[Album:_3121|3121]]) were certified by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America RIAA] reaching 'gold' status. [[Album:_Emancipation |Emancipation]] was certified platinum because each of the three discs was counted separately. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_charts Billboard] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_SoundScan Nielsen Soundscan] changed their policies of counting album sales with the distribution of the [[Album:_Musicology|Musicology]] album during [[Musicology_Live_2004ever|Musicology 2004ever Tour]]. After this album, musicians are required to offer fans different ticket prices, one including the album and one without if they want their CDs distributed at concerts counted as sales. | With a low-key or limited release and unconventional ways of distribution, many of [[Prince]]'s albums were not eligible to chart or went unnoticed by the large public.

All in all, [[Prince]] has released more studio albums (21) during the second half of his career with '''NPG Records''' under his own name, than during the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] and/or [[Paisley Park Records]] era (18), including two triple albums plus four live albums.
