If U had UR Way...

With the upcoming releases of the three movies in the boxed set, I find myself wondering what else we could see down the line...whether it's future CDs of the unreleased material in the vault, remastered copies of some of the concerts <--- this I would especially love. Or possibly a revival of some Prince memorabilia/collectibles. I don't really know the bulk of what people have already collected, or what ALL was out there, but was curious, if U had UR way, what would you like to see forthcoming, after the estate is sorted?

Like stated above I definitely want them to put those concerts on DVDs baby! Montreux(s), Maybe a top/best from Musicology (full shows, remastered), 21 nights, Act I/II, Lovesexy, Nude Tour, Purple Rain, the early years, Hit N Run, A Piano & A Microphone etc etc etc. Hopefully they can include any fun behind the scenes footage wherever they see fit/wherever available. I hope they don't release things all in ONE SHOT either. Maybe space things out over time.

I would like some of the small things to be release...like the some of the buttons that were around in the 80s. Maybe some of the patches yes. Things like that. I would like the official books to be rereleased too.

I get a feeling there is still some old merchandise around too. If so, what ideas do we have for stuff like that?

Definitely curious to hear what you guys would like to see forthcoming from Paisley Park & Co.

I'd just like to see everything in ONE place. I've always wanted to be able to click on some link, and find music, a shirt, or a pen, or a daybook. Kinda like when you click on the 'bookstore' link of a university, and you find everything in one place. Something with an official PP logo on it, OR something Prince related on it. Clearly there were lots of things designed, because we've seen P. or other folks wearing the 'Prince' beanie for example.

There has never been one 'clearinghouse' for lack of a better word for folks to go and get their Prince gear. It's crazy how much bootleg merchandise is being produced. Just look at Etsy and Ebay. Folks were making a killing, because there was a real desire for Prince related items, particularly right after he died, and there was no official place available to purchase stuff. This could have all been revenue generated for PP, had there been something in place. That needs to be done, and quick before folks stop caring about it altogether.

Something like Springsteen's archive site would be the perfect outlet.

It's so strange that no one has ever posted a "What would you like to see" thread before. confuse

It will likely be a few years before we see anything.

I completely agree! They missed out on a lot of revenue that those sales generated. If PP had something in place. Hopefully when the estate is settled and they do organize these things, that it being official releases/re-releases, people will still support purchace them with the funds going to the RIGHT place! I still would also like to see them do something like with the items they do decide to sell, have $1 or such from each going toward a charity Prince supported too.
