Piano & A Microphone Deluxe Edition (One LP And A Disc) Why? What is the estate doing and who's making decisions over there? It's bad enough that they are releasing this at all, knowing that this has been in circulation for years, but then they come up with this, for a deluxe edition? Just look at this stupid track listing. This has got to be the most pointless deluxe release in history

They've just seperated the tracks and called it a 'deluxe edition'? Seriously lame. | |

He has finished albums that are great but they give us a demo cassette that they found? I want it, but there is so much more. They need a fan advisory board because the decisions they make are terrible. | |

The deluxe version is the tracks on viny and CD, plus some other stuff.

Is that supposed to make it better? [Edited 8/13/18 5:45am] | |

I won't say P+M83 would be my first choice for a release, but I'm OK with it... here's an alternative viewpoint - bear with me, I'm just gathering some thoughts as I type, allright, not stating any "truth" here...
Speaking of which, in more general terms... I think something shifts radically in one's appreciation of an artist once s/he passes away... knowing the body of work will no longer evolve turns our focus into the legacy... and in the absence of development, we scrape the barrell as we can... archives, karaoke, former associates, bios, dolls, etc etc.... --- nothing wrong with these, they have their role; but maybe I just feel that we're all still craving for that time when he would come out of nowhere with a brand new vision, and are somehow hoping the vault will give us that kind of "fix"... I don't think it ever will, whatever ends up being released will always report to a legacy, a conspicuous absence...
Anyway, just some thoughts.
Peace

Better than something which is just the tracks separated, yes. You can buy CD on its own or deluxe with CD, vinyl and booklet. I don't see the problem. Me, I'll just get the CD as I have no use for vinyl and not too fussed about the book. RIP | |

Strange to call it Deluxe though when it isn’t, regardless of this being the release (don’t get me started on that!). Comin str8 outta Preston... |

This is a release for hardcore fans. But, if they want to do that, then give us a 7CD or DVD set of the 2002 Celebration or many other releases that hard core fans would have appreciated much more than this. The general public will have almost no interest in this and this is not likely to generate any new interest. I would hate to think that WB is purposefully devaluing the value of the vault in order to achieve leverage in the future, but it sure seems like it. | |

I disagree...
They are pitching this to capture NEW FANS.. The ones who dont realise the strength of his Piano Playing and songwriting The Ones who see him only as a Flamboyant POP ICON
This release is one I could easily gift to my mother or even my grandson who is learning Piano. It a stripped back offering curated to display the beauty of his voice and the way he plays Piano perhaps not technically perfect..but with all the FEELS of a person who understands Music .
Its not about the established Fans... lets face it..in the Grand scheme of things we are here forever... The estate is Looking to Capture a new Audience and get them hip to the diversity of his sounds..

I would agree with everyone sentiments surrounding the way this M&P 83 project is being released. Nevertheless, I will still purchase this release for my collection (let the fleecing of the Prince fans begin). With that being said, I am looking forward to the Tidal release on 9/28. I am sure they will be releasing tracks the world never heard of before (at least I hope that is the case). | |

This release is total bollocks. | |

I would think a much better way to capture casual or new friends with a piano and mic setup is to release the CD/VIdeo of the 2016 P & M Atlanta concert. This is a great concert though admittedly a bittersweet one. I imagine they eventually plan to relase this if they have a lick a sense, so why release an old obscure P & M recording that might cause confusion among the non-orgers when the concert one is released? |

trying to look through the eyes of the uninitiated .. P&M as fantastic as it is, contains snippets of songs, many of which are stipped SO far back thats its likely a NEW Fan would have no idea of how genius this move was nor would the melancholy in his voice be appreciated .. My opinion ..dont mind who disagrees In any case its not as if WE have ANY CHoice...

but how would this gather NEW fans?? i would imagine an aftershow of unusual songs seems more interesting | |

Are any of these also going to include a digital download? If not, they're worthless. I mean...I still play vinyl. But without a digital download, I can't get it into my computer without going to a lot of trouble to rip it. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Maybe that's what all the switching around that's going on with the streaming sites is about, making way for this. Time keeps on slipping into the future...
This moment is all there is... |

I'm all for the estate generating revenue for the heirs but no way I'm buying this. I'll wait until SOTT Deluxe is released | |
