Blame warnerS ???? Someone asked Prince on Twitter about the Purple rain remaster and he said he already delivered it to WB so its on them. He also said we should picket them for the release ... . I can't understand why wb wouldn't release it .2 sides to every story I suppose ... 'Love is God, God is love
Girls and boys love God above' | |

We don't know what's gone on behind the scenes. It doesn't make sense to me why either Prince or Warners would hold up the release. I just hope when it does come, there'll be some quality outtakes on it we've never heard before. | |

People love to blame Prince for eveything, or don't believe him. Take your pick. | |

Prince really delivered PR remastered to Warner months ago now. But, without any outtakes, one disc only. "You can skate around the issue if you like,
But who's gonna get you high in the middle of the night?" |

Not sure I believe that it was delivered without any additional material (though that is certainly possible). More than likely, WB is draggin' their feet for another reason that hasn't come to light. They may be trying to get Prince to do some sort of event to commemorate it, or a tour with the Revolution...something he isn't going to be too keen on.

I always though that the reason we never heard anything from Warner was that Prince did indeed give them the remasters but that the extra materials were so underwhelming that there was no point releasing them... | |

Maybe he just thinks that he released the best songs he has to at the time. You cannot rewrite history... "You can skate around the issue if you like,

he could be telling the truth but....this sounds all too familiar. on the other hand, i look at it like why would they give him all his music back without a guarantee of remasters and expanded editions? warners can't be that dumb or stupid and they should use prior knowledge and experience to know better. | |

The purple rain remaster was 1 disc, just the album no bonus stuff. Re-mastered, actually re-mastered about 5 years ago-ish.
He even spoke about it being one disc with no bonus tracks in an interview either this year or last, i'm sure someione will quote it here. | |

If it had bonus material,I'm sure Warners would release it right away.Record companies LOVE releasing 'expanded deluxe editions' of classic albums.My guess is that Prince delievered the nine tracks from the original album and nothing else.Warners' attitude is "why bother releasing it then"? | |

I remember that interview.So I guess we all know why it's being delayed | |

Warners probably can't "demand" that Prince hand over some bonus material,but they really should have added this stipulation to the contract.
I agree | |

I think that's the case, but Prince wants us now to blame WB instead. He must think his fans are dumb and can't figure out what's going on [Edited 11/4/15 15:04pm] Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

So, it must have been clearly stated in the deal for remasters. Then again, the original Tidal statement of "Purple Pick of the Week" mentioned Vault recordings too. And look what happened. If Prince delivered the remaster of PR 9 tracks only--it wouldn't be worth the cost to manufacture & distribute that. Especially in the heels of low sales of AOA and PLEL for Warners. | |

I bet prince submitted a remastered albeit edited version of PR (removing darling Nikki) or an alternate take of darling Nikki (instrumental). Why oh why hasn't this been released in a fully fledged deluxe multi disc set?? P is the one holding this up!!!! |
