Big words from the man who announced the estate would re-release Chaka Khan's Come 2 My House by the end of 2023, which of course they failed to do.

.

Also, they've managed one vinyl re-release since the release of D&P, and I bet that re-release was prepared by the previous regime. Then again, I bet much of the work of the PR SDE was done by the previous regime as well.

And it would not surpise me that this new million-making 'anti-Prince-gang' will size down what the previous regime build up.

may we live 2 c the PR re-release

im sure this will come out this year

if they fail to make it happen on this anniversary year, that will be a colossal fail

In all honesty, does the anniversary thingy actually means that much to you, either as a fan, casual-fan, or whatever side of the spectrum do you place at?

I'm genuinely asking with all respect.

I just don't get the hype for the anniversary re-releases, either plain or SDE or whatever. I thirst for anything new, even more at this output rate.

to me, no.

but i understand that anniversaries seem to make things an easier sell.

and as PR will likely be the estates biggest seller, it would be good if they can do it this year.

i know PR will prob sell well whatever year it is issued, but people seem to like anniversaries, or at least those selling these things (whether films, albums, etc) think they matter.

i would also be happy to have a PR super-super deluxe set.

though i would be happier to see a proper reissue/SDE campaign launched, including less obvious albums, starting with the warner years.

but that doesnt seem to be on the cards, so hey, ill take a PR anniversary release.

What's wrong with having a dick on your jacket...

Honestly, I think it's not even a very good effort to look like one.

I always wondered what he drew on it, lower, is it sperm?

I only 'thirst' for something new from his earlier 1977-1989 releases we never heard.

Therefor the PR-SDE re-issue would be good (for me), if they really make it worth a while.

To me, Prince's music after The Rainbow Children wasn't all that interesting.

I even doubt if "Black Is The new Black" (unfinished) is worth a release. If it was worth it they would've released it instead of that mediocre "Welcome 2 America" for example.

One thing I don't understand, is Prince's last P&M-tour, which shoud've been release already a long time ago. Like right after his death, that would've been a perfect closure for his whole body of work & legacy imho.

I have this hunger for more, but not just for the sake of it, I just want to expand the scope
on what we know from him.

Even the D&P SDE is nice in that regard as in it makes his discography that much broader.

And so I want that expansion to continue in multiple places at once. Not in just one era or
one defined album per year.

I really do wish we would get 3 releases each year: 1 SDE release of an 80s album, 1 SDE
of a post WB album and one release of something we don't know yet, like an album he did
some work on but ultimately shelved or a great live release, like a box with a rehearsal or
soundcheck, a full show and an aftershow. like a series that also continues to build.

Surely the market can handle 3 of such?

I agree. They should release both PR SDE and SDE this year and a full Musicology show since it's Musicology 20th anniversary this year.

100% on all of that

There were leaks for every estate releases months before the thing was even officially announced. Here, we have absolutely nothing on the boxset. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

depends on where you look for info, I think.

And where do you look to have the information it will be released by June 25 ?

I don't know, I didn't say anything of the like about your made up date.
In the last 6 to 12 months enough info has been shared on things regarding this years releases on other places than here (as usual for the last 8 years) and this is what you were discussing and not your made up date so stay on this topic please, because your questin above doesn't make sense.

Honestly, about that (mediocre release of the) D&P SDE (imho)... yes it makes the whole Prince spectrum broader, true.

For me, they should make those edit versions and (known) extended versions plus (known) remixes, only available in super high quality via downloads.

I don't need 10 vinyls or 7 CD's (that were not even completely full) that to be honest. (I don't think I'm the only one here). I know it's for vinyl lovers and completists.

While the live DVD was so much more interesting, original and fun to have, and the CD verison of it as well.

During each new album release, Prince did so much more that is interesting to have for fans and new fans.

Like unreleased video material, unseen clips, rehearsals, short performances, TV appearances, other live shows, after shows, work done for others, maybe even scetches of songs, piano rehearasals, etc. Alternative artwork choices, graphic ideas, etc.

A SDE-package for me would be so much more fun if the SURPIRSE element was there, instead of these edits etc. Use these vinyls and CD's or more DVD's for surprises. Why not even sum up a chronological list of what he did per project? And what he didn't do? Ideas he had that never got materialised? Information like that would make the whole spectrum of every album project so much more richer and fun for everyone.

With every SDE, there is 75% we all already heard and have. And i also know tha most want to have a better quality of the known material. Remastering these days is not expensive anymore, and is a must so to say fo rmost, although I care less for remastered versions.

The Dolby Atmos was far more interesting. It gave you another perspective on the sound, the mix, the layers of never before heard elements.
