Yep, here we go again, a major announcement, then weeks go by with absolutely no info. You think Warner's would at least say something by now...

So are we likely to see it around the anniversary or later on the year. Would be a shame to miss out on the publicity of the anniversary with the re release. And it's only little over a month away cool

It might not even happen. For some reason, that prospect has only just dawned on me. How many times has Prince planned to do something and just not done it?

I got two sides... and they're both friends.

it would be nice to get some information at some point, yes biggrin

/

and here i was, hoping that now with WB backing the whole

thing, everything would run smoothly.

/

but so far we've had nothing we haven't seen from prince in

the post warner years:

/

1 - a big anouncement, yet unclear on details, content, dates.

2 - a single released without promotion or a video

3 - that single isn't performed live during current tour falloff

4 - no push for radio

5 - no details on the remasters deal (just 1 album or all 80s?)

6 - no details on when to expect more details

7 - 34 concurrent projects, some or none of which may get a release lol

/

so who needs warners anyway? smile

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Also not to mention most of the WB albums are still in print (except of course TGE & C&D) If we really were getting remasters anytime soon wouldn't they be gone? Purple Rain is still being sold in its original form. Of course if we do get remasters, they may be edited. I'm feeling depressed.

Holy cow give it some time people! I realize we all want instant gratification, but come on, it was just announced, there is a machine in operation here that needs to get up and running for all this to happen.

If it doesn't happen, which will not be the case, then so what, life goes on, my sister will still have a limp, and all the a-holes I know in life will still be a-holes.

peace

^Well, Bob asked for baseless rumors, so I think he came to the right place. That's 95% of anything news related ever posted in this forum.

Change it one more time..

I really expected the WB albums (or at least Purple Rain) to be reduced to clear-out prices by now, or even recalled altogether. Odd.

I was JUST thinking of this! Maybe sell the new P cd on its own or sell the 2 together for a special price. Right on! And with Prince's new clean lyrics, maybe Walmart will be all over it. Not sure if masturbating in a magazine still earns explicit lyric fame?
