By this point, what are the odds of it EVER dropping!?

Zero chance.

It would require a plan.

It would require OK from WB.

It would require music for an album.

Need I go on?

Close to 100%.

See the Montreux 2009 video.

See the various other leaks.

It appears to me that Prince uses this as leverage to keep his young posse at bay and close.

Wonder what will happen when focus wanders or tour is done.

Who's to say that PE will be in Warners, nothing has been said, if the kobalt deal is still live he could just drop it anytime on say iTunes or amazon with a web store for the cd

I did not imply that.

I was just thinking that they would not like competition and thus would have some clauses in the PR-reissues CONtract w.r.t. P-works being released via other channels.

nothing has been said, if the kobalt deal is still live he could just drop it anytime on say iTunes or amazon with a web store for the cd

I doubt that.

We'll just have to wait, the fact he's touring and playing these songs live indicates there's some interest still there by him. But you never know smile

Don't most albums drop on Tuesdays?
June 7th is a Saturday.

Unlikely to none. Pretty sure WB will not permit him to release anything they don't approve of. They're not about to let P screw the market by releasing a bunch of substandard tripe. They want their big push in November (if that really is the projected release date for PR Deluxe).

It would be cool for him to acknowledge his birthday just once though cool Haven't heard him do that since the 80's.

Actually, I interpret this to mean that the chances of Plectrum Electrum coming out are 4%.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I think it's been almost a year since we first heard of "Plectrum Electrum". I think it's already been released, song by song.

I don't think there is or ever will be an actual "Plectrum Electrum" album.

I love the idea of Prince flooding the market with clutter ahead of the PR release. That's the Prince I know and I'm quite sure that ultimately he will do exactly that. Probably through internet only releases, but there is nooo way Prince is going to just sit on his hands and let WB do their thing. He's got to fuck it up some how. He's likely got protoge albums ready for Hannah and one for Donna. There is probably some no talent GF holed up in an apartment somewhere waiting to unleash her lack of talent. With Josh he can go after some of that 'Bruno Mars money'. Prince already kicked off the Purple Rain anniversary by giving an interview shading The Revolution, at pretty much the worst possible time. I hope WB is truly in charge, but I won't believe it until Prince starts showing signs of being told "no".
