Anyone who doesn't think they need remastering truly has ears of tin.

Apologies if I got anyones hopes up but thats the fun of being a P fan.. right?

I'd LOVE to hear the remasters. Listen to the stuff on Ultimate and then on the original CDs. Even if that is half way what the remaster sounds like, I'd love them.

Oh well this is interesting at least. not getting my hopes up too much incase what's already been uploaded to Apple music is a hint (all albums available for streaming but Purple Rain remaster to come...?).

Based on the fact that he linked the Spotify article & 'Stare' was released on Spotify, I'm going to guess he's reached some sort of $$$ agreement with Spotify.

Yes that , not reissues.

I'm not sure if this deserves it's own thread since it might be related.


But here: PRINCE INVITES JOURNALISTS TO PAISLEY PARK:

Y'all are tripping. Nothing of relevance will happen.

On a sidenote, a part of the BBC interview leaked.

Interviewer: "What about the remasters?"

Prince: "What about them?"

D'ye think prince will just lecture the journalists on how streaming services work?

Funny how this thread still stands yet langebleu locked mine even though it was a seperate thread to discuss an entirely different topic...

You might not be able to view the gif on your phone, it's basically an animation of a stylised image of Prince's head (in the style of his avatar image pic) going through the various looks he had from different eras from For You until the Symbol LP and then back to his current look.

It's a GIF that someone made without the original artists consent (RedFoxBandit on Twitter). I was talking to him as he made a tweet expressing his concern about people taking his work at low quality and redistributing it without his approval or crediting him saying he understood why P got upset at Bootleggers. He said he was glad it was getting seen but wished it was on his terms (he said he wanted to get around to animating them himself at one point).

I don't think it's anything to do with remasters, it's just something P saw on the purple web and liked lmao.

seems it is just they announced the new album is coming out Sep 7th on TIDAL

Rather easy business with his 'friends' than dealing with 'execs' from a big label.

Perhaps even no CONtract so he has the illusion of no CONsequences.

CONtrary to his lala-land some paperwork is required...
