Because it will make them more money?

Eye would have bought 1999 outtakes no matter how they are packaged ... this piano tape warbling tape hiss meandering performance and horrible photo shop botched art is highly questionable ... not sure i can justify spending money

Easy? Yes
Less risk? I don’t think so
Make more money? Not from me anyway

I've only just got around to listening to the sample... and have to say I'm underwhelmed!

Better than the bootlegs, but still hissy and not fantastic (due to the source recording of course).

.

So, I wonder why they chose this over all the stuff they have found so far? eek

Too soon after Purple Rain Deluxe for another, big remaster release perhaps?

.

I'd like to see a more high profile release before Christmas!

Think of it as patina on an older car.

Or think of it that it was a cheap-ass rush job despite the many months until the release (why the slowdown?).

Or that the 'mastering' is not all-powerfull even though it is 2018 now.

.

So, I wonder why they chose this over all the stuff they have found so far? eek

.

Something 'light', something 'different', soemthing most people don't have?

.

As an intermission in a multi-session meal?

Do not hold your breath...

This is the company that thinks that one release per year is close to too much.

I don't remember any official announcement that 1999 was the next release. I remember rumours that there would be a 1999 remaster. But those were rumours not anything official.

Not sure if has been mentioned above, but it seems the first part of the album is a medley, we know it's one continuous recording but I hope it is tracked as individual songs rather that one lump!

i keep forgetting about this release lol my excitement level for is it about 14%.

if it wasn't for this thread i'd have forgotten all about it by now neutral



I'm not that excited about it either even though I think it a nice release. It would be a more smart move to give us something we all want, like unreleased albums cuz they won't make much money from this release, that's for sure.


i'd be so much more excited if they would have found studio versions
of 'cold coffee and cocaine' and 'why the butterflies' and added them
to this release as bonus tracks.

see that would make me wet my pants, instantly biggrin



Me too, I really wanna hear the studio versions biggrin

Just because it was a rumour does not mean it wasn’t on the table and there was certainly plenty of discussion on the topic ... the sentiment still stands despite the nitpicking... p+M is a huge letdown compared 1999 or another outtake collection... i seem to recall an interview indicating they were putting a package together when they came across this piano rehearsal and thought it was so magical it had to come out first ... i would much rather a pristine g spot or lust u always or parade era go or large room than a crusty old tape i deleted when it was called intimate moments ... the botched photo shop cover says it all ... it doesn’t even look like prince (the original photo did)

Because it will make them more money?

Because it is less effort?

Because it is less risk?

Because they think they will fool a lot of people who will think it is a recent Piano and Microphone tour (or a rehearsal for that tour). Probably hoping to ride on the coat tails of the Tidal release which could well be a P&M tour.

I'm not happy with the artwork.

-

It's probably going to be all (black&white) pictures (from the archives) from now on,

and lack of inspirational typography and artwork. :-/

-

Pitty.

-

I miss the great album covers, artwork, and new art/style like the first 10 album covers - these are iconic !

The more I think about it, the more I believe it would be more advantageous to release this as a digital-only album (retailing for $8.99). Then, place the photo collection in the Paisley Park webstore and give us a pristine album of never-heard material.

You have to think about that?

Yeah, I had to think about it because I don't have the luxury of being an elite collector.

I meant that you had to think about unheard of music to be released would be better than the piano rehearsal?

Can you give us an A/B comparison on that? I'd never seen this photo before this announcement.

That's not possible with a man who's not here anymore. I'm okay with photographs from the relevant era, with simple typography.

Thanks. I was wondering what people are complaining about concerning the cover. Now that I've seen all that... I'm still wondering. lol

Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with the cover?

I never said 1999 Deluxe was definitely the next thing. I said it had been compiled and was ready to go, and that is indeed what I heard back at the beginning of the year. In fact - same source as getting the exclusive on this wink (well...a couple of sources actually)

By the way, not one other source got the heads up on Piano & A Mic 1983 before I did, as you can see from the original post in this thread. So between that and leaking the PR Deluxe tracklist first, I'm still 2 for 2 smile
