Chances I'll buy the upcoming releases...

3121- 200%!! yes of course. I already made a '3121 teaser' to tide me over

Tamar's cd- 100% yes. Why even front? I have Elisa Fiorillo's cd, so its a given that I'm getting Tamar's too

Greatest Hits- 77% maybe. I'll probably get it, but I'm not as excited for it so maybe I'll wait a while for it. Greatest hits cds for Prince don't really rock my world, cause my favorite songs aren't on them. Besides, how many cds do I need to have When Doves Cry and U Got The Look on anyway???

I don't think people are as willing to see the big picture this time around. They key for fans (at least in the U.S.) is to pick this thing up at Target or Best Buy during the first week of it's release. With a list price of $25.98, I'm pretty sure it won't be more than $14.99 during the first week. Personally, I think that amount is worth it just for the extended versions on Disc 2 alone... but that's just me.

Of course, I know it's all speculation. But it's logical speculation

3121
Ultimate Prince
Tamar's album

3121 - Definitely
Tamar's album - Probably
Ultimate Prince - Maybe (little pricey for stuff I already have)

all of u will want it when you see the inside spread of the folder..well any1 interested in vinyl beauty...

I'm about the music. I like the idea of remastered stuff. Not ad hoc like this, but rather complete albums. If this thing is over 20 pounds I probably won't get it. I may get it in years to come though. The inside spread would interest me but it's more the cherry on the sundae, a bonus. I'm not that fussed.

3121: Hell Fucking Yes
Ultimate Prince: I am not sure since I already own half of those songs on the album. But I will think long and hard on this one and then get back with yall.
Tamar: Yes I am going to buy her album to see what she has in store. I am starting to love Beautiful, Love, and Blessed and expecting to like more songs on her upcoming album. She reminded me one of those Neo-Soul artists which I am digging for. Her voice maybe sound very common but still she win compared to Carmen and Appollonia in the looks and the singing department. Her and Prince has a duet chemistry that it reminded me of him and Jill Jones used to have. Speaking of her, imo, Tamar is the best protege that Prince have since Jill. Good job to Prince not selecting and working with another protege solely based on her looks. I am suprised that her album is push back until May 2. maybe because Universal or Prince or whomever thought it wasn't a good idea after all for his and Tamar's album to be release on the same day but still I will wait patiently for it.

Both ofcourse!

Co-sign. I like nice packaging as much anybody. But honestly, I'll check it out for a couple of days and then right into the media closet it goes, rarely to be seen again. So yeas, it'd be cool to have, but not really essential.

After last nights SNL performance, I will definately be buying 3121.
I was on the fence on that one.
So yea, ill be buying both.

There is a circulating version of that album. To me it's the same old crap!

Since Emancipation, Rave were supposed to be a retrun to form for P and did not come close I will buy 3121 for myself and a few for friends.

I have not been this excited about Prince album since Gold. Emancipation was exciting but the album left me flat.

3121 is The Return to form, passion, creativity and excitement.

sooner or later i always end up getting whatever he puts out...even diamonds and pearls

Just curious, I wasn't around for Musicology's release, was the board this pumped about it?

JasonStar said:

Good Question. I wasn't orgin' at that time. I doubt the buzz and energy was like this. Why don't you start another thread with that Q. I'd like to know the answer and what the difference is.

Now wait, I don't want inflated album sales making Tamar to think her album is so good she needs to make another one, thus wasting more Prince produciton time.


I will only buy her album if it's really a Prince one in disguise (like NPG stuff).


I will buy 3121 for sure.


Ultimate Prince? I'll probably just make one of those on my computer.

There are actually two artists I would buy cds of if they recorded a fart and recorded it in stereo. (With a mono mix I'd had to hesitate).
The other one is Zappa.

So I'm gonna get both.

After Musicology, I wasn't planning on buying 3121 right away. I still don't get what 3121 means, but after this past week with Black Sweat and the SNL performances, I have pre-ordered it. I am also going to want Tamar's CD as I expect there to be lots of Prince on it. I am considering the Ultimate album for the extended versions.

Co-sign. Especially on the Greatest Hits thing. For me it will depend what's on it and if they're edited versions. I know someone posted a track listing but one never really knows with Prince until the thing is actually released.

And for the record I did not buy that "Best of Prince" thing two years ago. I didn't really see the point.

JasonStar said:

It was pumped up but not like this. I've been on the org for about 7 years now (remember the black and purple days anyone? ) and I've NEVER seen so much unity concerning anything new from Prince. It's almost scary but it's what I've been praying for. We've heard 4 new songs and everyone loves or really likes at least one of them. I have great expectations about this CD.

Yeah, I'll but all three cd's. After seeing the man on SNL, it's the least I can do. Prince has restored my faith....hallelujah!

arent we getting overxcited? i was so happy when gett off came out and thennnn...

I'll pick up 3121 first and get the Ultimate Prince Collection
a few months after to tie me over until a new Prince album

As long as i get fury!

hell yes!!

Same here

I'm sure I will end up getting all three on release day, but at the moment money is really tight (I mean really tight). I'll have to see. If I don't, it would be the first time since that I haven't bought a new album on release date, and that would be really hard, especially since this album seems to be shaping up as a great one.

Yall did hear that Tamar's been pushed back to May 2, right?

Yeah, I was happy to hear that, actually - I might be able to afford it by then.

And I don't know if it was really "pushed back" - is there any evidence it was due to come out on 3/21 along with 3121?

jone70 said:

Me too.

Plus a moon earwrap.

Yes to all three. Both of Prince's and Tamars too. How can i not? after all, TC Ellis and Carmen Electra are both in my collection, and Tamar is a zillion times better than that ish.
