I heard there were warehouses full of the reissues, all ready to go (complete with a foreword by Tipper Gore in the booklet), but then Prince did a bible reading with Larry Graham at which the ghosts of his father appeared, and he called WB, begging them to destroy all copies. "My soul is against it!" he cried.

It's ova, just like his career.

Apparently Prince is still making up his mind about several issues, and WB has decided to press on with the Carmen Elektra boxset, which will include videos cleared by Carmen's conscience.

Bring it on!!

I am def in the minority here, but I could care less about soemthing like this, and I cringe at the thought of a reunion style show as well.

I want to keep the band I know as The Revolution forever young and beautiful in my minds eye...the notion of them all squeezing into those costumes makes me cringe a little ....all of that belongs in the 80's...I'm glad Pri nce isnt nostalgic at all, forward motion keeps you YOUNG AT HEART!

Too many cd's... Prince would definitely screw this up. Don't get me wrong, the era deserves a package like that, the fan-base deserves a product like that, but it needs to be handled correctly. This should not be a Prince one man effort. They would have to bring in some people to really put this together right. They would need The Revolution involved, Morris, Andre and Dez, even if it's just commentary. It can't be Prince slapping random shit together up at Paisley like the One Night Alone box set, and still do justice to the importance of the music from that era. They need to take the time to make it special.



The One Night Alone Box Set, was very disappointing. The way it was mixed/produced, you could hardly hear the crowd. Sounded like he was performing for 20 people. No stand out moments, except Joy In Repetition. His first LIVE cd set, and no blistering performance of Purple Rain? I swear sometimes it's like he purposely tries to hurt his chances of success.

I thought he was playing for 20 people.


---Who listens to a live Cd to hear the crowd?

Nobody does... but surely I don't have to explain the huge element it adds to a live album.

nothing in the near future for sure. Could be something in the first half of next year maybe but who knows. Even though the holiday time is best to do these things, Prince may want all the attention on it or maybe WB wants that who knows at this point. Lets see what comes first this re-issue or that "unreleased" now found Mary Jane Girls cd

I'm having a hard time imagining:



1. Prince doing anything because it's expected. He got his masters.

Maybe that's all he wanted - the principle.



2. Prince willfully exploiting the "Xmas market".

Seems counter to his faith / principles at this point. Chris Rock's "commercialization of xmas" SNL monologue seemed like a Prince inspired rant.



But who knows...

Oh you mean that "magical" edition that was advertised as designed to be a real sphere capable of free standing on a table somehow or somesuch? Then later showed up as the clear puck / spindle case everybody gets when they buy CDs in bulk?

How can you consider it cancelled? No dates have Ever been specified and they have 6 or 7 months still to fall within the anniversary. Fair enough if they said it was coming in November from an official source and not just someone on here claiming to be in the know.

If they said it was going to drop in November then said its not then people could take it as cancelled or a big delay.

Until a press release comes out dont jump to comclusions biggrin

My personal guess is if it doesnt come before Christmas there may have been some sort of compromise somewhere, with the fact WB just released 2 albums for him instead of the one that was originally planned.

3 Albums in the space or 4 months or something that to many would be considered over flooding.

Just because we would go out and buy 3 albums doesnt mean all fans would, so they need to get the timing right.

Prince has always made strange decisions
Through out his career.. whether it was
Not touring or putting the obvious
Singles out for " sign o'the times etc
This "Purple Rain" remaster should be about
The fans..the first avenue aug of 83 show &
The 1985 PR show in perfect quality is
A must..All of those classic B-sides
& unreleased songs have to be included.
Prince says he doesn't live in the past
But performs mostly all the hits in concert.
So he probably changes his mind every few
Days.
