That clear pitri dish was hard as hell to keep nice. Not to mention it wasn't well designed to keep the discs scratch free. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Noiseland said it took 16 weeks to make the molds. By the time it made it to Best Buy, it was $75. Those cases do scratch easily. I've got all three versions and I keep the petri dishes in bubble wrap. You would think that a flat bottomed, blow-molded orb would have been more fitting, and cheaper. Hell, they make them for hamsters to roll around in for about $4. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Se7en said: The SACD format (and DVD-A too) are really for audiophiles who want to feel superior. The human ear cannot usually tell the difference between SACD and Redbook CD (the current standard).
Most times, when you hear a great-sounding SACD (and, they DO sound great), what you're really hearing is better mastering. Current Redbook CDs are horribly mastered, with more emphasis on the loudness wars than proper sound.  Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

That's actually a regular DVD with the Te Amo Corazón video single, though I don't know if it's stereo or 5.1 Dolby. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I totally remember Prince talking about the 5.1 Lovesexy. It was a teaser and he said something along the lines of "We've just finished mixing Lovesexy in 5.1 do you want it released" (paraphrasing of course). But I do remember him saying the mix was finished. | |

So where is the 5.1 Lovesexy?
And will he do a SACD or also a DVD-A? And will it include a decent high definition stereo mix? I guess we'll have to wait until the Lovesexy tapes return to Mr P. 2013 or so? Oh, that's after 2012. Does it matter at all then? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
