Reissue of LotusFlow3r

Looks like a single disk (CD) is being issued July 8 (search ebay, you can buy it now). Called LotusFlow3r but contains the tracks from MPLSoUND. Label is Because Music.

Anyone else hear of other reissues?

I saw the originals left over in Target (which had the exclusive retail store distribution) for a couple of bucks on clearance and I loaded up just to have spares. I dont see a reason to pay for this if there is no new material.

Gotta be a bootleg.

Not a bootleg : "At the same time, a single-disc set was released in France, also titled Lotusflow3r but only including the MPLSound disc (this was a deliberate marketing decision, not an error)". Source Princevault => http://princevault.com/in...:_MPLSound

Because Music are the ones who re-released Lotus last year as a double vinyl/double cd in one package. I'm looking on amazon UK now and can't see a single Lotus cd anywhere. There is a single MPLSound cd and the double vinyl/cd package again being released on July 8th.

It's not. Discogs notes it. It's licensed from NPG Records to Because Music. And Militant is right - it's French.

Yep, I got this one. I play it a lot. It was listed as Lotusflow3r/MPL Sound.

So Elixir was cut out of this reissue? No matter, I already have it anyway.

What's interesting - and I believe this has only been brought up here on one or two occasions - was that back in 2009 or early 2010 when this French release happened, an orger posted that they've seen a poster in a record store, a hanging display, and they'd noticed that part of the display had been covered up with tape.

They peeled back the tape, and the text underneath indicated that the Lotusflow3r movie (a re-edit of the 3121 movie) was going to be included as a bonus DVD.

It seems Prince was forever pulling that idea at the last minute.

Never had a second orger verify it or anything, so it could have been bogus, but I don't see why the original orger would have made up something like that.
