Prince never looks at things from the perspective of a fan.He dosen't want us to "celebrate" his past albums.It's like he wants us to forget all that music and focus only on what he's doing now
There's a bit of me still kinda respects him for that in principle, though - that he's not trying to milk his back catalogue; he just wants to keep on creating and looking forward. The only problem is that so much of what he does now just isn't very good (), and so I have to agree that he'd be better off just doing something like this and giving us fans some well-compiled sets of his classic material - which we'd eat up. And I suppose it'd be nice to see him have more of a comfortable relationship with his past, which he sometimes seems to disown and try to discard as soon as he's done with it.
The frustrating thing is...Prince could do both.Focus on remasters and still release all the 'new' music he wants.I don't know why he thinks that nostalgia is a bad thing.

and he did say that he wants to "flood the market",right? Here's his chance!

This is what I'm talking about when I mention "celebrating an album".Fans live for stuff like this.It's a concept that Prince clearly does not understand or support.
