Don't see anywhere to buy D&P and Graffiti Bridge... I heard Lovesexy got pushed backed... I assume D&P & Graffiti Bridge got delayed as well...

Been waiting on D&P. Don't have the original so this is the first new one I've been looking out for...

Got an email from AMAZON sayinh D&P, LOVESEXY and GRAFFITI BRIDGE has been pushed back, no release date yet...

Just got back from the local record and saw the following albums:

ATWIAD

Sign O' The Times

Black Album

Was surprised to see BA there, and assume it is this: https://www.discogs.com/P...se/8952773

In addition to that though, I also saw 12 inch singles of Raspberry Beret and Let's Pretend We're Married. They were both shrink wrapped, looked rather brand new, which makes wonder if singles are getting re-issued as well?

Okay... So who can tell me which record player to buy from Amazon for all these vinyl re-issues I'm getting? [Edited 11/22/16 16:39pm]

If you actually care about the music and you want a player that isn't going to ruin your records and is going to sound good in tandem with other components, don't spend any less than $200.

If you think that mp3's sound good and you listen to everything on those crap white iPod ear buds then go ahead and buy a cheap one, but this subject is another thread.

They are.

Cool, didn't know about this..... clearly.

Indeed they are.

https://www.popmarket.com/products/prince-raspberry-beret-12-single-reissue

12inch re-issue have been planned but pushed back in Europoe.

.

The ones on the schedule are:

.

Raspberry Beret

Let's Pretend We're Married

Purple Rain

Let's Go Crazy

When Doves Cry

.

Other than Let's Pretend We're Married, all others were reissued as a part of the Rhino 12 Inches of Prince Series from July 2007.

.

These also had a digital release featuring some tracks never before released on CD or digitally. This set also included two errors on the opening and closing of Erotic City and on the opening of Another Lonely Christmas.

.

Hope this clarifies.

Yes they are. I bought those two at Amoeba Records in Hollywood yesterday.

Hi

.

Are you able to confirm these are decent represses.

.

The 2007 re-issue series were facsimile copies in that Rhino literally photocopied the original artwork.

.

Thanks.

Hey mods can we have this thread a sticky??

I had to search for this thread to find it, back on page 3.

We are a lot of collectors here of these vinyls... therefor its a must this thread does not disappear, ok?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/...B000091NRW

Lovesexy is released on/ pushed back to: Dec 31..?

But why is the price so very high, nearly £30 for this excellent album.

I no I am not gonna make a pre-order until the price drops, and that is kind of weird because I love the album very deep.

( I made another thread earlier today, about Lovesexy on vinyl... but we can keep the discussion in here, if ok? )

Guh, I'm happy with my originals of all of them : /

I might get lovesexy since my copy is scratched to hell. Graffiti Bridge I don't have on vinyl and not sure I'll be bothered, I skip so many tracks on that as it is.

It's the Black Album and Come i'd love a good copy of and they don't seem to be being reissued FFS

I bought the SOTT re-issue at FNAC in France on 28/10, and just today the digital Mps version is in my Digicopy account. None of the other Prince Vinyl re-issues I bought off them had a digital version included. It will be interesting to see how the sound of this mp3 is compared to my CD rip (ALAC).

I'd be interested to hear how they compared, theartistirl

I have just got around to adding the MP3 files to my iPOD. My itunes library is lossless, but imports in 256KBS as I don't have enough space on my 160gb ipod to keep everything lossless.

For the moment, I won't comment on the sound quality but the main difference I see immediately is that this new MP3 is playing louder than my CD import on my iPod. Also the MP3 was tagged as 2009. Not sure this is much information, even fixing the volume is a good thing. I should try and copare the sound levels on the old Vinyl with the new one.

Not sure why Parade and ATWIAD didn't come with Digicopy on the same site. The strategy on this seems hit 'n miss. I guess it has something to do with the digital rights.

Let me add the LOTUSFLOW3R 2016 reissue, although I here the American pressing has many errors on it... I guess the best way to go is the 2009 French pressing.
