Prince blew it with the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain How come the remaster didn't come out Exactly on the 30th anniversary? I just feel it was a wasted opportunity to cease the moment. It's his best album ever. It's going to november in a few weeks. I guess i just want it in my hands already. hopefully with some cool extras BOB4theFUNK | |

For 2 generations, he's done what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. I understand your frustration, but if it ever comes, we'll enjoy it all the same. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Maybe he wants to release it to coincide with the anniversary of the Purple Rain tour?  what was the first date of that tour? I think it was in November. | |

Whoever said that a reissue has to come out on the exact same date as the original? How many people even remember that? | |

Commercially, Purple Rain is ideally re-released in the time for the christmas season, no one but the hardcore fnas (who are going to buy it any date) actually cares.
As to what can be expected, like everyone I want a 10 disc set with all the outakes and two or three live shows + the Time, Appolonia 6 Sheila E BUT Prince being Prince, you probably won't get that until you start like his new stuff.

Why is it always seem to be "Prince blew it" when he doesnt do what a fan wants him to do? | |

SuperSoulFighter said: Whoever said that a reissue has to come out on the exact same date as the original? How many people even remember that? Exactly. I challenge the OP to find ANY reissues that have been released on the same date. It just doesn't work that way. Further: Prince does not choose his release dates, the label does. Obviously something like this is going to be save for the fourth quarter. | |

I bet it will be released on Tuesday November 25....a few days before Black Friday.
If Warners are smart,they will plan some kind of store tie-in deal with Target,Best Buy or Wal-Mart,since those stores are gonna be PACKED with Black Friday shoppers. | |

Duh!!! Because Prince. How many times do we need to explain incompetence? 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. | |

Not sure about this, but Prince's Grammy eligibility for Purple Rain ended around 354 or so months ago. I'm terrible at math, but it's far more than 300 months. | |

I think the OP has a point. The anniversary got a considerable amount of press in the music magazines and websites. It put purple rain briefly back on the front pages and to maximise sales would have been to strike while that iron was hot. There was decent coverage for the announcement too. They aren't going to give it that coverage twice in the same year. Casual fans and interested readers might have bought it then but now it's more likely to be for the so-called hardcore fans. The mags have done enought Prince this year. If the extra content is enough to garner glowing reviews, it might do well. But I guess for Prince, selling more copies of purple rain, remastered or not, is not a priority. may display symptoms of sarcasm | |

Let's see what gets released exactly before drawing conclusions. It's been announced for months that the release was planned for late November/early December. How can a project be blown before it's even out there? A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

Totally wasted opportunity but Im not surprised... Welcome 2 The Dawn | |
