Give the fans something to look foreward to. So one or two official releases every year for the next 10 or 20 years. I think this is what Prince would have liked. Not giving everything away at once but leave something to be desired.

Personally I would love to hear his last recordings. He probably recorded the last week / last day of his live. Or maybe not because he was not feeling well. Maybe I'm just too curious.

I would also like to see an Official Prince Documentary done by the Estate with interviews by various artists and people who knew and worked with Prince. I need a documentary that spans his life even prior to him being a performer.

First and foremost, please release the last Piano & Microphone concert. It was recorded just a week before he died, and I think it would punctuate his career very nicely.

And, he intended for it to be released! After that, if the Estate was truly serious, set up a Q&A or poll to ask the fans what they'd want . . . and then sincerely take that advice into consideration.

Go to add this one:

Tony M-less versions of everything that had Tony M

Remove TC Ellis fron "New Power Generation"

A Prince version of Exodus or just Prince versions of every song he gave away (inclduing The Time)

Prince was saying to Kurt Loder in 1999 about the vault : 'you would find the best...' ; so, i don't see any reasons for not releasing unknown material if it is good.

Personally, i would like to listen to unknown recent recordings (the organic sound of Hit N' Run phase 2 is excellent), but also older material : Roadhouse Garden, Camille, Dream factory, unreleased songs of the Around The World In A Day era...

Due to the fact that the amount of material kept in the vault is huge, it would be interesting to gather some material by genre, for example releasing boxes of jazz instrumental, orchestral music, psychedelia and so on...

If parts of the tracks in the vault are either unfinished, or unmixed, the best would be to work with the musicians, engineers, who collaborated with him at the time on these ones.

How do you know they're any good if you havn't heard them??

outtakes from each era! chronologically released and selected by his musicians of that period.

I wonder when the estate will communicate its plans(if any ) to release future music. Surely something before the end of the year?

Personally, I would prefer everything be put online as an archive in which you pay membership.

Otherwise, I think the first three releases should be what Prince was working on.
1. P&M live album

2. Black Is The New Black
3. HnR3

Wow!!! Alot of good ideas from everybody!!! I hope they release music in the physical form as well as downloads. everyone has their preferences. I'm old school. I like to hold the physical copy and I think it sounds better. I would like to have liner notes on all music released. I enjoy reading the history or what inspired certain songs.

For physical formats they could do a huge deal with Target or Best Buy since their aren't many records stores in existence anymore.

Album after album of unreleased tracks from the 1980s (preferrably the early 80s from 1980-1984 or maybe throw in some 1978-1979 tracks too if they exist).

.

Then, album after album of unreleased tracks from 1985-1988.

.

Don't even think about anything from the 1990s to the present until the older stuff is released first. Hell, the people that prefer that stuff are probably much younger than me so they'll still be around after I'm dead so they'll get a chance to hear it then. But the older stuff I want to hear first won't be worth a damn if I'm not around to hear it by the time it gets released.

I would love that they would rerelease out of print albums, and they should also make a blu-ray or dvd of every concert tour!

whats important is that the right people KNOW about these things.....if they dont know certain recordings exist ...

i like your suggestions!!!

The problem with this idea is that we are mostly unaware of what is there that could be released. There were albums put together that were never leaked or talked about on these fan sites and books. There are professional recordings of performances we don't know the entertainment or artistic value of.

Certainly we can vote to hear things we can guess at or have heard of, or even already heard in bootleg quality. But I think there is more than that.

maybe a fertility clinic can donate money to request songs that encourage baby makin..

I DO know I want 'Electric Intercourse' and 'Empty Room' on a CD!!!

I still can't even think along these lines, of what the family should or should not release. I'm sure they will release whatever they deem is good enough to be released, but there is nothing I can request and I don't know that I will ever get into a mindset of requesting them to release anything.
