I saw this mentioned on one of the HITnRUN threads and starting looking into it a bit.

Hoping that these will be (well) remastered, and will mark the start of the whole 80s/90s WB albums (For You-The Vault OF4S) being (well) remastered on CD / vinyl.

.

The Amazon UK pre-order page has some info in the listing:

"Reissue. Comes with a description and lyrics. Available for a limited time of period until December 21, 2015. Features SHM-CD format."

.

Amazon US For You pre-order

Amazon US Prince pre-order

Anyone else know anything about these?

It would make sense that these are remastered. Available for a limited time is strange though...

Amazon Canada has them up, too. Will be watching with interest...

Agree. Unless there's some bonus tracks or something, that could make them limited. Can't find a tracklist or anything other than the title and release date though.

I sincerely doubt this is the main event so to speak, there always seem to be these weird little listings for "remasters" on sites like Amazon and they almost never are proper ones. If these are the real remasters we've all been waiting for then it's a bit disappointing the tracklist is the same as the original.

Looks similar to the Time releases from earlier this year (see this thread), although they at least claimed to be remastered.

According to CD Japan this is part of the "Free Soul SHM-CD Collection"

They're SHM-CD's if you're into that. I believe the mini-lp's from a few years back were SHM's as well?

I wouldn't get too excited myself...

I have SHM-CD of Purple Rain and it is better than my japanese and domestic CDs. Audophiles might be very interested

The Time reissues on the same label are better than the original. Its great to have them louder.
