^ Thanks for the update.

No worries - wish we had better news!

I might be at JB Hi Fi today around lunchtime, so I might find 1999 (probably the old '90's re-issue) and that new Sign "O" The Times re-mastered DVD.

Yeah the lady at my local JB found that one & another one that wasnt available anymore, dont recall the details , they should have the SOTT remastered dvd, mine had it for $14.95. I didnt purchase it wanted to keep my pennies for the 1999 Cd, !

No updated info in princeVault either I see. Let us know if you get a reply to your email!!!!

So it's not going down?

It's not looking good at the moment

JB get all their new stock on a Friday, so I will check again today, but I doubt anything new will happen on that front at least for the next week (unless we find out they arrived yesterday at individual stores, and not others).

As for Target/Kmart/etc... I'd be surprised, but of course, he has done it before.

Still hoping for an "I found it! I found it!" post, but enthusiasm is really waning now

There's really no other music stores here other than JB, Target & Kmart. Sanity bought out HMV & they only have two stores one in Parramatta & the other in the City so maybe worth checking out their website, I'll give it a go see whether they have anything!!

There are plenty of little independants though & if it is released through one of these it will be a pain tracking it down!!!!

HMV is completely gone here in Newcastle, but Sanity is still here. They sell CD's in Myer's and David Jones. JB Hi Fi is way better than any of them anyway,

FOUND IT, FOUND IT, FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!

Sanity Music!!!!!!!

Nothing different from the limited information, same tracklist, they will have it from the 11/03/2011!!

It is the the first cd under Prince & has coming soon written on it, oh & its price is $ 14.99!!!

Bit of a letdown if there is nothing different about from the original.

Out of all places!

And it's great that this is not on Warner Bros. I hope it's remastered. Maybe the rare and/or unreleased tracks would be released in a box set when he turns 60 or something.

I just found this 1999 re-issue on the Sanity site. It looks like it could be a digipak.

Why is DMSR listed as the last track?

I don't think of Sanity much since they closed most of the stores & I don't venture into Parramatta much so until yesterday I didn't even know they still had a couple of stores open!!!

There arent many details about it so perhaps we might get a surprise after-all!!! I was going to call them but they prob don't know any more than we do at this point. Got to wait until the 11/03 to see what the real deal is!!!!

Well in my area there are 4-5 Sanity stores. I've never seen any in Sydney.

The 11th will feel like ages away.

Interesting!! I didn't notice the change of order of tracklist. Mmmm........ would that small change justify it being a 're-issue'??

I'm not a musical tech person, so maybe someone who might know why this would be done could shed some light.

TDG: Any ideas????

We used to have one in every large shopping centre, Mt, Druitt, Blacktown,Penrith etc but they closed them a few years ago, for reasons unknown, just had big closing down sales & then they were gone!

The 11th feels like weeks away.........................

I don't really care about them closing that much, JB Hi Fi is a lot better than Sanity.

At least we're doing better than the US, they've got no decent music store anymore.

I didn't know there were no decent music stores in the U.S, Is everything online over there?

They've got CDs in places like Target, Starbucks etc. but they're not really decent. I don't know if Wal-Mart has a good range of CDs so I might be wrong.

I was thinking Wal- Mart, ive got a friend in San Fran, might have to ask him!!

A bit off-topic but I noticed Sanity had the dvd Prince: The Glory Years, is it worth getting do you know??

I don't know, it looks like one of those DVD's with no real Prince music on it. It might be on YouTube.

I'll go to Parramatta next w-end get everything done at once! Hopefully return with 'goodies'!!!!

Im not sure how 802 got that it wasn't a WB release, perhaps because they didnt come up in the release info.

I thought that the first CD under Prince meant first WB CD on NPG Records.

Silly me.

Sorry, I should have worded it better, my bad!! I mean't under Prince in the search as opposed to P & The N.P.G or P & The Revolution!

PrinceVault now says it was not re-mastered.

Yep, just went visiting every independent record store I know in an attempt to get answers and finally got to speak to a store owner who ordered some that didn't arrive as expected yesterday.

It's just a standard WB re-issue, along with a whole lot of other WB classics (1999 is the only Prince one). He seemed certain that there wouldn't be a thing different about them.

They were meant to arrive yesterday but they haven't, and there's been no news as to why (like record company, like artist )

The good news is that next week is the Annual Aussie Wild Goose Chase which is bound to prove more successful

Why can't Warner Bros re-master it? And if it really isn't, I will not buy it. I'll just buy the new Sign "O" The Times DVD.
