The UK music industry reacted angrily at a decision to give away Planet Earth the new album by Prince as a covermount with the Mail on Sunday newspaper. The 10-track CD was not due to be released in stores until 24 July. Stephen Miron, the newspaper's managing director, said: "No one has done this before. We have always given away CDs and DVDs, but this is just setting a new level."
