For those of you that have seen the Prince Warner Bros Japanese SHM mini albums

Remember how cool those are? (I mean, they're all sitting in a box -- or in a cabinet and haven't been looked at since you acquired them wink

.

In 1997, it was announced that Prince would be releasing the following titles through Warner Japan. Of course, Prince changed his mind and collectors/fans lost out.

.

Now just imagine these as the Japanese Mini Albums. (The Japanese Mini Albums were like the vinyl versions that came out originally -- except that they were a CD instead of vinyl. Click through and look at the photos of each of these -- or just the SOTT mini album.)

Around 15 (or longer?) years ago, it was announced that Prince would be releasing the following titles through Warner Japan. Of course, Prince changed his mind and we all lost out.

Similar to this. A Prince equivalent of that would be great.

Yes. I think many popular artists from the 80s have agreed to these types of releases.

I've always been slightly miffed that there never was one. He may have been a genius but he was a poor compiler / cataloguer.

I picked up the SHM CDs a few years back in one go. Love them to bits. I would have loved a full set of singles and a continuation of the format too.
