Yeah, his nice/rude post ratio is a little one sided... but he is old, he's been around longer than me! LOL he was doing this back in the mid 90's...

I know I'm ancient. I've been here when the regular posters were Aaron, Superman, Ben,.....I forget the rest. Back then I was known as Loakum An Smokum. lol, memories...

I'm happy if this is the actual track list. Could've been better, but also could've been a lot worse.

And apparently I need a refresher on how to post images. Help!

When you make a post, there's a little icon that looks like a tree. Click on that and you get a pop up into which you can paste your image link. Paste in the image link then click insert and you're done.

BartVanHemelen, what is your problem? Every post I've ever seen by you in this and every thread is an attack on someone else with some smug superior attitude. It would be one thing if you made other positive contributions to this board, but all you ever do is post to pounce others. Every-single-time. You're fucked up man.

.

Or you could read what I wrote and notice how I attack bad opinions which are often based on ill-informed ideas about how things work. It's you who posted a personal attack, not me. If I'm wrong, prove me wrong, simple as that.

So WB make us wait for a year for 1 disc of 'new' (old) material.

.

Sigh. No, Prince made you wait DECADES.

.

.

It appears they are still stuck in their `1 release per year mantra` that they did when LPs and CDs were relevant.

.

You've already shown you know nothing about this release, yet here you are bitching and whining. This release was obviously held up since at least 2015 because Prince was sabotaging the process.

.

What P did was his fault.

After his death, why didn't WB release the PR remaster within a month of his cremation?

Because the estate was not up and running?

Because they needed goodies from the vault?

Because they do not need any monies extracted from them fans?

Because the heirs do not want the cash?

.

I did know the tracklisat of disc one as of the first days of rumors about this release.

As shown there were plenty ideas of making this a 5-disc set and we would still be missing gems.

I do understand that these tracks are simply gathered from some database (with isrc things) and do not necessarily describe the whole release but might still do that perfectly.

.

I am not whining nor bitching when I state the obvious fact that WB cannot even get close to find the actual optimum release frequency which brings them the most cash. Where and when ever did they experiment, in the past two decades, with multiple Prince releases per year? Different products based on one release? (3-disc PR for Joe Blow, 5-disc for the fans...)

Where and when will they experiment to find out the ctual optimum release frequency which brings them the most cash?

Please report per track, disc.

.

Dude, please just do some of this work yourself. Visit PrinceVault and write it up yourself and ask for input here. But almost "demanding" us to do this for you: not cool. Also: read this thread. Plenty of info already here.

.

Dude, I did check the princevault site.

Not all songs are there.

No all details, infos, stories are there.

If asking for such infos is already too much and princevault is supposed to be the one and only truth why don't we have edit access there?

Is there anybody out there who could share some more info , besides the info on princevault, on sound, tempo etc of songs like

love & sex

we can fuck (will the sound be more purplerainish than the graff bridge version for instance?)

dance electric (its lenght!)

k paper dolls

etc

thanx

U can hear most of "love and sex" as a phone recording from some questlove dj set. Unique vocal delivery, great lyrics and awesome purple rain era sound with some backwards electric guitar. It's gonna be great to hear this one in its pristine remastered entirety

They might have used the questlove phone leak on this release.

Well at least it will have been remastered

It's a purple miracle! I thought I had tried that. Thanks! Now, what were we all talking about?

I don't tend to post much anymore on this board (I used to go by a different user name in the 2000s) but so much of this whole thread is utter bollocks spouted by trolls who feel entitled.

I am a massive Prince fan, and have been eagerly awaiting this release for years as have many of you, but I am disgusted by some of the behaviour of people on this thread.

Thanks Militant for sharing the leaked info

.

hang on is Militant realy Kit Harington?...im confused

You're confused? Imagine how I felt, the only Jon Snow which came to my mind was the UK's news journalist Jon Snow and I couldn't work out what was so fine about his hair.

.

Lol. This Jon Snow has the other meaning of "fine" hair.

.

(of a thread, filament, or person's hair) thin.

There is not such a thing as 'bad opinions'. There's factually wrong information and uninformed speculation. And nobody objects to you correcting or challenging those. It's the way that you do it that people have a problem with. Every time you start a post with oh 'please', or 'for crying out loud' or 'newsflash' you come across as a smug, intolerant and very miserable individual.

You forgot rude and arrogant too.

I will buy it for Disc 1 and 3

Be civilized
Don't create offensive, vulgar, obscene, threatening, abusive or excessively profane posts. Do not instigate, engage in, or encourage 'flame wars'. If you insult someone "jokingly", be prepared to have it not interpreted that way by the Moderators. A good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people." Any language which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense is grounds for immediate account deletion.

This rule is broken time and time again . Always the same peeps too.

Kinda feelin' like tomorrow's likely for a formal announcement on this. The anniversary has past, and it's a Monday, which gives them a whole week's worth of watercooler discussion and word of mouth...

Didn't the press release say 'two discs of unreleased music'? I can only see one.

They said "two albums of unreleased music". So technically, if you get the vinyl version, yes, you'll have two albums of new cuts.

Pretty sneaky wording, but there you go.

And also, nothing is officially announced yet, so things may or may not change from the info we have.

Bingo.
