Oh man, Can you say Vanity 6?

Funny I sent this link in 3 weeks ago...what took so long?

MattyJam said:

Hey MattyJam, I've been 2 the AIMOO site lookin' 4 those tabs U mention, but...can't find a thing. Could U help? Thanx!

I'm gonna get the 'Romance 1600' and 'Sheila E' CDs which I never had on CD before (I had the vinyl records back in the day).I already have the 'Sex Cymbal' CD,so no need to buy it again.

I have 'Pandemonium' on vinyl and that's enough for me.It's not one of my favorite Time albums.

DevotedPuppy said:

that would be GREAT! Those are the two Paisley-related albums that I really want to have on CD.

And NONE were surprising., Same crap he's been peddling for years.

For which PRINCE is to blame.

jdcxc said:

So to sum up: Prince is like nobody else, except that he is. You gotta love Prince fans: you lot just take whatever position you think will win a debate. Consistency? Who cares about that.

laurarichardson said:

What would you know? I bet I've heard far more concerts than you. I know what I'm talking about.

And it's "bored", not "board".

Oh, and again: PRINCE is bored with his own music. Go on, what songs from the past 10 years did he play live in his recent concerts?

laurarichardson said:

It's "huge", not "hugh".

And FYI: he's been peddling each new record to major labels. What did Reznor do the minute he got out? He thought up new ways of releasing music, and a) made a ton of money and b) made a lot of fans happy. Oh, and each time he got huge ratings on Digg.com.

But then Reznor is just doing what he promised to do years earlier (and much more). Prince meanwhile is still stuck in the "I need a major label to score a hit and I'll throw a tantrum if they fail to score one after I sabotage the whole lot" mode. Repeat ad infinitum.

(I'm still laughing my ass off about that poster who claimed it takes Prince 1.5 years to have an ROI on his latest records -- records that stop selling a month after the release date!)

namepeace said:

Except that the Stones don't seem bored out of their skulls when playing their hits, and the Police haven't played together in what, 20 years (and still sucked big time).

SoulAlive said:

To be honest I am dumbfounded why they would choose Pandemonium to re-release over just about anything else. Worst Time CD, used copies of the original CD are widely available.

And ask the fans maybe?? Jill Jones, Apollonia 6, Vanity 6, The Family... these are the ones that are in demand.

@ Bart:
I really don't know what you get so upset about. So you don't like Prince's new music. OK. So you don't like his concerts because they are the same-old-hits. OK (I actually find this funny - you don't like his new music, so what should he play according to your wishes? 80s vault and album tracks?).

Go on, discover new artists, go to different concerts (which I am sure you do). I have been a fan since Dirty Mind, and while I don't like his new stuff too much either, I think there are still gems in there. And yes, the 80s were masterpieces (with the exception of Controversy), but come on, to top this is just very dificult. He could have stopped right there, but I like it that I get a piece of Prince music almost every year...

It seems that you take Prince's actions (his new music, his choice of concert sets,...) as personal insults to you. Why this rage and disapointment? Have you actually met the guy and he did something to you? Or were you working at Warners?

Just curious about this inner turmoil you seem to have...

i'm guessing these will be "nice price" bare-bones reissues simply meant to fill in gaps in the time/sheila e. catalogs until someday WB gets off their butts and starts working on a more enterprising reissue project. i think the other time albums are still in print (and in need of remastering magic), so maybe the reissue of these four albums is simply a way of providing more fodder at merch tables at sheila/time concerts, if nothing else. i dunno. seems kinda random, but whatever. i need a decent CD copy of the sheila S/T album.

Prince last best tours were 1994/1995 as they were the most interesting tours…. The bootlegs from them say it all. I am so glad I got to see him live 1995.

I liked Bruce Springsteen’s covers album We Shall Overcome, The Seeger Sessions even though I am not a fan of covers. Prince’s cover of Everyday Is a Winding Road was one of the worst covers I have ever heard.

Prince can play the hits if he wants to… The choice is yours to listen.
Prince can release shit albums if he wants to… The choice is yours to buy
Prince can be anything he wants to be…. The choice is yours to stick with him.
Prince can pick his nose if he wants to…. The choice is yours to eat his booger.

SoulAlive said:

I wonder what is keeping those from being reissued. I'm sure there is much more interest in seeing those available as legal and affordable CDs/downloads. I would say Prince, but take a look at these releases.

Anxiety said:

I realize The Time and Sheila E are the only acts that still tour so that's probably why.

I need Sheila E (1987) on CD too. Never came across it on CD used, just cassette.

Je hebt de klok wel horen luiden....

Kiss was written for Mazarati
Nothing Compares 2 U for De Familie
Martika? What are you trying to say anyway...?

DevotedPuppy said:

Or Vanity 6. I'd LOVE that! Why Panadamonium and not Ice Cream Castles?

Cinnie said:

yeah, jill jones and the family would be great reissues for fans, but they'd be a hard sell for the general public unless someone came up with a really seductive marketing campaign...and even then, i think it would still be a hard sell beyond the fans.

meanwhile, yeah, the time and sheila are still chugging along so in terms of fans still being generated from tours and appearances, i can see how the demand for these reissues would be a little more realistic.

Anxiety said:

Glamorous Life is still available on Amazon. Shelia E and In Romance 1600 are not.

BartVanHemelen said:

I'm pretty sure that someone has and that Prince has thought of it.

jdcxc said:

Superspaceboy Prince Theory # 23 - Prince is going to make all/most of his albums go out of print so he becomes the most collected artist of all time and his music will be sought after and fetch high prices.

superspaceboy said:

everyone else remasters and reissues their back catalogs; therefore, prince will not.

NouveauDance said:

Honestly if they aren't re-mastered, I might as well keep the copies I have. I'd take V6 remaster with no extra cuts, it that bad in needing a remaster. Could you imagine a full on V6 remaster with extended or extra cuts?

Anxiety said:

As a fan, I have no desire for Jill Jones or The Family...Unless the bonus material included P versions of the songs.

Anxiety said:

He'd probably see it as a "cool" thing. Just like he envisioned in having his own section in the music store. I see it as more an ego thing.

superspaceboy said:

i'd be overjoyed if a reissue of jill jones' album came out with bonus tracks of her 12" versions and b-sides. in my opinion, it's essentially a prince album with JJ providing lead vocals. you can literally hear prince all over the place. i especially like his backing vox in "for love". as for the family? i could take it or leave it. i enjoy the album just fine but i've never had any great enthusiasm for it.

superspaceboy said:

Flaw in Prince's business plan # 777- Prince may make all/most of his albums go out of print and very well become "the most collected artist of all time". Furthermore, although his music will sell for exorbitant amounts, he will receive almost none of the proceeds because he will not be the one selling the albums. It will be collector to collector, like it is now.
