They were not remastered.

Is there a reason why they do sound better then? (Not sarcasm, genuine question from a non-technical person)

They're just a bit louder. Whether this means they sound better, is a highly subjective opinion.

I like that tracklist 4 a "Sign O' The Times" deluxe edition. That would be great! I think first 10 albums should be remastered and released in deluxe edition.

CHAIN OF FOOLS is a good song and fits perfectly with the J ,that i had to do.

Here's my two cents on this....if you care to indulge me.

I'm all for re-masters and deluxe editions. Being a Prince fan, I own all of the re-mixes, outtakes, vinyl, CD, etc for years now. I'm not dumping my vinyl and this is the best way to listen to most of the early recordings. I take excellent care of my collection and have no need to re-purchase them again. Honestly, I feel like an idiot when I re-purchase something I already own. Especially DVD's. The movie companies are notorious for doing this, re-releasing movies with bullshit bonus material. I've done this a few times, but vowed never to do this again. They may as well put a gun to your head and say, hand over your money! They are just robbing you to make a profit. But, I digress.....

I have played them so much, my ears are a little burned out on a lot of the songs, especially the hits.

If these were to come out, I would be a little hesitant to buy them. Yeah I would like to hear them, but I wouldn't play them over and over again, even they did sound better. I would only buy them to complete my collection and for nostalgia. I don't have that kind of disposable income. Even if I did, I would only buy them for the packaging. I don't see them adding anything clever and completely rare. I would max out my credit card for that. The Japanese album replica re-issues were SEXY, I would buy those in a heartbeat.

I'll probably see all of the contents on line somewhere while listening to my collection and be happy with that. I think its a little too late and Prince and WB missed the boat for any major sales and promotion.

I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll wait awhile and look at the reviews and comments before making any purchase. I hope someone from WB is reading these comments on the org. If they want our money, they better bring it!!!
