When it gets rereleased, I hope the flap that folds around the open end of the gatefold is sturdier. It tended to fall off after awhile.

Just looked for the Prince reissue on Amazon. According to the site, it won't be released until September 9.

The Prince reissue came out months ago (in May, I think) and is currently in stock at Amazon (US) at the ridiculoistly low price of $11.12

Thanks! I think I previously clicked on a marketplace result or something. Coming in a couple of days!

Cheers . . .

Just got my Parade. Deadwax says it was done by Kevin Gray. Haven't compared it to my original yet though.

Ok, I've compared 2 songs: Mountains (because I've always thought that song had the worst sound quality on the album) and Do You Lie? Mountains didn't really seem much different (maybe a bit clearer) but with Do You Lie? the difference was pretty obvious.... I like the original mastering better. Just listen to the female backing vocals and musical flourishes underneath the mix. On the original they seem to have more of a 3D feel and a better soundstage. On the reissue they aren't as prominent. They seem more buried. It's weird, since this isn't a remix. Just goes to show how much mastering can affect things.

Just got an e-mail that my pre-order of Diamonds & Pearls has been delayed indefinitely. Wonder why this one may not be released, and what that bodes for prince and Come?

BUT I will say Prince's vocals seem to be a bit clearer on the reissue/remaster.... so I still think I like the original more, but it just depends on what kind of listener you are. I like soundstage at times more than clarity.

Who did you pre-order it from? I went with Barnes & Noble because I couldn't find a listing on Amazon.

According to Amazon, most of the post-SOTT releases (Lovesexy, Batman, GB, D&P, O{-> and Come ) are all set for vinyl release 2/24/17. I can't help but think the estate proceedings may have something to do with it.

Taking Parade for a spin. Dead quiet vinyl. So far, it sounds pretty darn great. The first four tracks sound a bit better and considering Parade is one of the best sounding albums already that is saying something. Not as impressed with Girls & Boys so far.

I am really looking forward to Sign coming out.

I have bought numerous vinyl new that skipped immediately. Cassettes fucking rule. Some are cheap and break. Some people don't take care of them. They sound great tho. They sound better than CD's used to. They sound better than vinyl plus no crackling or skipping.

Every great album was recorded analog. That is TAPE for all you hipsters. Tapes have their own special compressed sound. When y'all complain about SOTT sounding bad on CD .. I still listen to it on cassette and it sounds great. Don't be dissin on cassettes. Cassettes are the bomb.

There are lots of cheap tapes out there. They don't hold up as well. I have cassettes from 25 years ago that are still top notch. Prince sounds best on cassette. Ever hear the black album all cleaned up ... lost something didn't it? Prince be puttin it all on cassette and driving round in his car. Nothing sounded as good after he switched to digital. Lost all its life. FACT


Behold the Mother of'em all:

The Colors R brighter, the Bond is much tighter
No Child's a failure
Until the Blue Sailboat sails him away from his dreams
Don't Ever Lose, Don't Ever Lose
Don't Ever Lose Your Dreams

I don't have the original release to compare it to... just the original CD and Foefur's Expanded version... and this version sounds CLEAN. FULL. The reissues so far have had a beautiful tone to them. But I do agree the vocals may have been moved up in the mix from what I'd hear on the CD... a tad.

Thanks for the update. I have an original Parade, so it sounds like I can skip this particular reissue.

SOTT was pushed to October. The post-SOTT releases were set for February on the same date . . . according to Amazon.

It'll be curious to watch what happens with these releases. I'm not that concerened about ATWIAD at this point, as the same thing has happened to both the For You and Prince releases in this vinyl reissue campaign already - as they approached the listed release date, the dates ahve changed, status changed to 'unavailable'. Amazon listings appaeared and disappeared... they've been pretty chaotic. But, the two others DID show up on racks as expected. Hopefully the same will hold true for the rest!



Part of me hopes that IF this has been pulled from release, it might indicate that WB is working with the estate - which has been authorized to generate revenue - to, perhaps, move forward with a proper reissue campaign of his catalog.

I'm curious as well. I noticed Amazon removed The Black Album 180 vinyl re-release altogether. I have purchased 9 so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that WB plays nice with Prince's estate. (Side Note: The words "Prince's estate" were difficult to type. It's all still surreal to me.)

I have an older PR LP with purple vinyl (sadly, my original 1984 copy and poster were damaged years ago). Does anyone know if the "new" PR LP include the poster from the "When Doves Cry" video shoot?

My "new" copy of Controversy that I received a few months ago included the actual poster just like the first release (i.e., the shot of Prince in the shower).

Just to be clear, none of the releases this year or upcoming have been (or have been said to be) 180 gram releases. The four titles that were put out in 2009 & 2011 were 180 gram pressings, but nothing since then has been.
