Captain Obvious up above ladies n gentlemen

I'm the one who posted over there . . . so what? Rather than attacking someone as if they were lying without any info on my part, I wanted to see if I could get the PPs to verify, lock in a story. BFD. "*and just for absolute clarification--I am not the one that posted it over there, nor did I respond to that thread." - and what is this? Why should I be ashamed or have to qualify the fact that I went to the most logical source to try to verify this stuff rather than accusing someone of making up false info. As far as I'm concerned, Gray's telling the truth until we hear otherwise beyond some kind of cryptic posts about "Detecting Frauds".

Uhmm, I did know and thats why I posted on J7's thread. He obviously knew as well.

I have lots of info but none that can be discussed because its still speculation and rumor and there's no need to rip open a WHAT IF thread if there's no proof. I only post when I know and even then its possible it won't be true.

From what I know, I GUARANTEE that it wasn't Prince that spoke to you but some prankster or a wet dream. Either way its tit for tat.

All can believe what they want to believe.

Rather than continuing to go back and forth, let's just see what happens.
Because at this point, short of checking with the Bush Administration on the actual call(joke on tapping phone calls), we won't know the truth of the matter until sometime in July. If it turns out to be true, then what will u have to say about your GUARANTEE?

BobbyPin said:

can u say that again please

ncmason said:

That was in response to PurpleCharm's comment:


Not everyone has the same user name for both sites...

ncmason said:


No one is saying you should be ashamed or qualify your post...but you have to admit that NPG is not the most forthcoming when it comes to breaking important Prince news. Of course if someone posts news like that on NPG they are going to be ridiculed by the other users and, personally, I'd be shocked if the PPs actually admitted something this huge was true and especially if they didn't announce it there first.


You seem to be a bit defensive about the whole thing...it's not that serious.

PurpleCharm said:

It's a damned if he does damned if he doesn't to me. Prince fans seem to be quite skeptical and not without reason but my thing is, if it happens, it'll happen and if not then life will go on.

jone70 said:

Oh, I wasn't accusing you of being the one that posted it at the club.

Must keep naughty thoughts to myself....must keep naughty thoughts to myself.

Ya know, it really doesn't matter if that list is real or not. It it was real, Prince is bound to change his mind at any given second. If I start believing things like this, then it becomes something I expect and I don't want to have any expectations when it comes to the guy: that could only lead to disappointment.

Gray, I don't know you well but I have been digging your posts since we've been interacting here. I am a cynic and a skeptic so forgive me if I'll take the wait and see position.

Graycap23 said:

You knew about it? Why didn't you post that information then!?

PurpleCharm said:

Uh, no it doesn't make sense for Prince to ask someone to post such news on a fan site (one which a PP once, in a PM to me, derided) as opposed to on his own official site! I realize we're talking about Prince here, but this seems a little odd...

If P could call this person and verbally relay this major announcement to be passed on (and it ended up posted with typos and possibly other mistakes), P could just as easily had the info emailed or faxed to someone at NPGMC and it could have been posted verbatim. Or for that matter, faxed/emailed it to Graycap23, that would have been easier!

I'm still skeptical...a lot of things don't quite add up here.

CandaceS said:

Let me first state that I don't know if any of this is true. Second, since my post, Gray has stated the reason he(Gray) chose to post it here:

So, it wasn't a request from "Prince" to post it here as oppose to over at the club.

Again, I don't know if any of this is even true.

1.) It makes no sense for Prince to ask someone else to post this information when he has his own forum for such things.

2.) Shiela E is on tour with Ringo 6/14 - 7/20... I suppose if the tour starts on July 31st then you could be right... but Prince likes to rehearse more than that right before the tour.

But if you are right then that's cool with me. It *seems* improbable though.

this graycap guy is just another person who wastes our time with stupid posts. more like graycrap.

Graycap23 said:

Listen, Sheila E. is TOURING NOW through the end of July begining of August with RINGO. Wendy has family stuff going on. Your rumors are fairly suspect since I have spoken to Wendy and she seems to be pretty forthcoming with her schedule. Granted, I could ALWAYS be wrong but I'm willing to put money on this one. And on another note. Prince comes into my work from time to time and while polite and courteous, does not readily engage in coversation of ANY kind when it comes to what prince is doing next.

I would think that this would be a MAJOR clue for those that follow his career and know that he doesnt disclose informatin to anyone.

Thats all I have to say about the whole situation. Later.

whats next....fake tour setlists and cities?

stick to fake tracklists please

sigh

BobbyPin said:

BTW, per Sheila E's site, the tour with Ringo runs through July 20 (NYC), have more dates been added??

I'd love it if this were true and I try to have respect for everybody, but I smell another Anji.

No, he "supposedly" rerecorded all his work a long time ago (and it's that that seems like BS to me, but that's a different story, different thread).
Remastering is a whole different story, and thanks to Graycap, this is something i'm prepared to believe in the possibility of. Like i said on the 1st page, any other time if something like this is posted i'd think it was 99.9999% bullshit, but i believe Graycap is in the know, so lets wait and see.
Stop knocking the dude.

I'd kill for a chance to get the the other 7 tracks from Sign 'O Times remastered... Plus all his other 80's output.
I'm prayin' this remastered box set goes thru.

CandaceS said:

Believe it or not, I'm probably the worst typist on THE planet. I'm a professional not a secretary so forgive my typos. That said, I was asked to relay this info after a lengthy conversation. It was NOT like I was sitting there taking notes. I summarized what I remember given that I was at WORK.
U dig?

With a additional rap of a TONY M?

KrystleEyes said:

You know, Prince wouldn't have to be personally involved for the remastering of his old albums - that would really be the work of a mixing engineer. Of course Prince could participate himself, but knowing he doesn't like looking back, I don't see why he would spend time personally on such a project...

So even if there actually will be a box set, I doubt that Prince himself has been busy working on it.

-If NPMC did this release this info, then Prince would be
obligated to follow through with all of it. If it's true,
then releasing it this way creates a buzz and allows him
the freedom to do some, all, or none of it.

-I disagree that he wouldn't be involved in the remastering.
Even if he just gave the engineers notes - he'd still want
to check on their progress. Afterall, his songs are his
children.

-I have been unable to hear even a peep about a tour in July,
and I've been bothering all of the production managers, audio
guys, carpenters, and riggers I know to try and find out.
Obviously, I don't know them all, but it's a pretty small
fraternity. Also, the support people for a tour are usually
locked in by now for a tour that would start rehearsing in
a month or so. I won't stop digging until I find out something.

-One last little bitchy part - I hope that Brown Mark has been
practicing, because he would be a step back compared to Rhonda.
That's one of the items that makes me really suspicious. The only
reason to have Brown Mark is for nostalgia. I could be mistaken-
perhaps he's gotten better? Sorry for the slam, but there was a reason
that Prince played most of the bass on those albums, and not just
because he laid down those tracks at 3am.

Graycap23 said:

You post some shit like this and then expect everyone to "relax"? What the hell's wrong with you??

I gotta admit, there's a part of me that's like, "Oo, someone knows Prince. Intriguing!" But that's also the seed of sycophancy. It's a slippery slope, you know. You start out mildly intrigued by people in contact with the star, and next thing you know you're hounding them for private morsels and insider tidbits. It's like second hand celebrity and virtual paparazzi. "You know Prince???? OMG!!! Tell me more! What did he say? Does he act weird? Can I touch you?"

For the record, Gray: I don't want to touch you.
