Nah, there's a LOT we haven't heard and/or hasn't been in circulation beyond a very select few... though some things we've definitely heard, but in incomplete ways. Like instrumental tracks without the vocals.

I doubt that it'll happen. The recent "Another Lonely Christmas" post on Instagram triggered me 2 believe that The Estate still likes the 2017 PR Deluxe Edition, this part of the post: "“Another Lonely Christmas (Extended Version)" can also be found on the Purple Rain Deluxe Expanded Edition that was released in 2017."

I was like, "Oh! 2017 actually was not long ago, and we got that spanning PR remaster and deluxe edition, so The Estate is indicating in this Instagram post that we've got all the PR stuff that they want us 2 have."

Perhaps they will simply release the 2017 PR Deluxe Edition as a vinyl boxset, due 2 the ongoing strength of the vinyl format and because we didn't get a vinyl boxset of it in 2017.

From the leaks and posts that we've seen over the past couple years, I guess 2024 could see these releases: "Old Friends 4 Sale", "Crystal Ball", and prince SDE. But even that could be too much due 2 the weak sales of the D&P SDE and other re-release formats.

It would be a shame if they allow the 2017 deluxe edition to remain the final documentation of that era.That set is flawed in many ways.The remastered PR album is a mess and needs to be done right.

I'm not following your train of thought. The Estate highlighted "Another Lonely Christmas" on social media (presumably because it's Christmastime) and told people where they can find it...

And based on *that* you've concluded the Estate thinks the 2017 PR DE is suffficent and won't release an expanded version??? Huh?

That's massive leap in logic.

They just need to make a Prince Vault streaming service so we can sign up and pay for a subscription to just hear all of it. Certain material can be obtained by purchase and of course the store will offer lossless flac downloads

The estate just needs to focus on a release that will force Peach & Black Podcast out of retirement. That would be my focus if I were in charge

Because the estate twitter account is purple and purple is in the name of the Purple Rain 2017 edition I have chosen to conclude this means they are satisfied with the release as presented in 2017 and we will not be getting another one.

it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow suit on the syracuse concert and re release the pr vault disks from the original masters as a stand alone release .. the pr deluxe had a lot of subpar source material compared to what they supposedly now have access to .. they could just call it roadhouse garden ...

Yes, I understand that it seems like a "leap of logic." The Instagram post seems innocuous as it is just a statement of fact. However, I found it odd that they would bother mentioning this B-side, as they hadn't done so in the past at Christmas time, and the mention of the 2017 PR Deluxe had me thinking that they wanted 2 start 2 soften the blow 2 the fans about there not being a PR SDE in 2024 (i.e., they gave us the PR Deluxe not long ago, so we should enjoy that). That being said, on the flipside, I find that the lack of available PR vinyls and CDs in the official store could be a sign that they have run down inventory 2 zero 2 make way 4 all the new PR releases in 2024. There's a possibility!

Saw this on the Prince Facebook feed - not an announcement but something may be coming, at some time, may be big, may be small, may be not at all.

“Happy New Year purple fam! 💜

We have a lot of exciting things in the works for 2024 that we can't wait to share with you. Thank you for all the love and for keeping Prince's legacy alive!”
There may or may not be something coming!

Will they release something this spring when D&P SDE just came out? There's still no leaked photos or tracklist for any kind of Purple Rain release. My guess is that there will be an announcement in the next few months and a release by the end of the summer.

I have a feeling it’s all going to go very quiet on the PR40 front.
Not much time to organise it, and the Estate seem to be a mess.
We can only hope they have some sort of plan this year!

I'm more interested in a Prince-centric Sirius XM station. They have had them short-term a few times, but nothing permanent.

Obviously you'd play Prince and his side projects, but also live segments with associated artists (Revolution, Sheila E. NPG members, etc). Maybe there's a "new music" special once in a while, with information on how you can download it if you like what you hear . . .

with plans to turn Purple Rain into a stage musical,a Purple Rain anniversary SDE this year sure makes alot of sense.Promote it aggressively and get the masses excited about buying tickets to see the stage musical.

I've bought these SDE's and the PR deluxe but I'll draw the line at another Purple Rain cash grab. I'm not interested. Frankly, I'm not interested in anything he did post LotusFlower either. However, that leaves tons of material I would be interested in.

Personally, I'd like a Lovesexy/Black album era release. Parade is a little redundant with SOTT and the Victor/Love Symbol album likewise with D&P. Seeing as how the vault material with D&P was underwhelming they should wait on releasing a project from that same time frame anyway. I won't lie though- I'd still buy it. razz

Hit us with a huge Purple Rain SDE on the 50th anniversary.

That would be great,I would also love some kind of Dirty Mind/Contrvoversy SDE.

Unfortunatley,it looks like they are focusing only on the big-selling albums.

The Purple Rain DE was already released a few years ago - only a vinyl edtition was missing. My guess is there will be a Deluxe vinyl edition of it with minor changes - minus the Live album which was released seperately last year already. If the plan was to do a SDE they would have hold the LIve content back!


It makes no sense to make a "new" Deluxe Edition, people already bought it.


Maybe a special edition of the movie on blueray and a Record Store Day special Edition (color Vinyl) will come - but no new SDE will be released is my guess.




They hinted at a 40 year purple rain anniversary super deluxe set with the other 40 songs left off of the other deluxe set.

SDE post 1996 release is completely unrealistic at this point. Welcome 2 America was a miracle.
They don't even release an SDE every year.
Until they have released all the multi-million sellers, don't even think about it. Maybe the last Piano and Mic show for the ten years anniversary of his death?
That is something they should have released shorty After his death, could have been a very good seller.

They should focus on a vault series with with the strongest post 1996 material they can find. I think that's what going to happen at some point rather than a SDE treatment for any of his 1996 - 2014 albums. It's also the best solution at the moment.
[Edited 12/18/23 16:20pm]



Agreed; yet; if there are complete albums better than W2A then perhaps a release. I would like the shelved revolution or npg complete albums released (they made videos for songs that were never released).
