No not yet, I put (TBA) to be announced... So far no official date for LOVESEXY, BATMAN, GRAFFITI BRIDGE, DIAMONDS & PEARLS, LOVE SYMBOL. All have been pushed back... THE BLACK ALBUM was cancelled back in summer of 2016.

^ thanks again FeelUupP... yes, sad about the Black Album, but yeah I remember the cancellation, however I wonder WHY........ very very strange...

^ haha,

Just ordered all of the 2016 releases today on the advice of KingSausage, as well as a vinyl copy of Black Messiah. I can hardly wait for them to get here! I got a new turntable for Christmas, and it's such a treat to play all of the old 12 inches again. They still sound great!

Especially on some surround sound...MMMM yes lawd

I hope you love them all! Regarding the further remasters, at one point Amazon and other retailers tossed around a February 24 release date. I have no expectation that will actually happen.

Was supposed to be Lovesexy... But heard all of them got pushed back to a release date TBD...

I don't want "hip" vinyl re-releases... I want cd-reissues of remastered sources and added associated outtakes and remixes (before cd will be completely abandoned)

Don't forget the lotusflow3r/mplsound reissue that came out last year

Yes but reading the threads about that reissue, there was a mess up reprinting SIDE D on MPLSOUND... So i assume the french pressing is the only correct one??

There's also a bunch of single reissues coming out this Friday (1-13). I have "Cream", "IIWYG", and "Kiss" on pre-order with Amazon scheduled for delivery on Friday. The "I Would Die 4 U" single was scheduled for same day, but was pushed back until 12-31-2018.

Figers crossed those other 3 don't get pushed back as well...

Really hoping they do Diamonds and Pearls along with Lovesymbol. Currently I have only bought a Dirty Mind repressing and have original albums of Prince, ATWIAD Lovesexy, GB and Batman. I have a 1984 Purple Rain era re pressing of 4U and a 2012 reissue of 1999 on 180gsm vinyl.

Thanks for the update. I had fallen out of the loop with the news on these releases. I really want the Love Symbol record. Hope it comes out eventually

Looks like all the 12" are slowly being re-released in new pressings. Have seen on Amazon:

Kiss 12"

Raspberry Beret 12"

Lets Pretend We're Married 12"

Lets Go Crazy 12"

U Got The Look 12"

I I Was Your Girlfriend 12"

Cream 12"

Needless to say I am going to buy them all and keep them sealed

The bolded ones I have seen here in New Zealand, at the exorbitant prices of $24.95 and $29.95 each in several wrekka stows.

.

Feel good that I bought all of these records a few years at between $7.95 and $12.95 each, and mine are all 80s originals that play perfectly. The last one was the Cream maxi single I bought in mid 2015 at $9.95 - 50% in store special. So $4.95 in 2015 vs $24.95 today for a modern replica - its a no brainer.

Mods sticky please??

Here is info from Electric Fetus on the four 12 inches to be released on Friday: https://electricfetus.tun...otsuitewow

Thank you. I need Kiss and Cream again. i destroyed those as a kid. Totally wrecked.

FYI - Not a full Prince vinyl reissue, but a reissue nonetheless...

"Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Live" Limited Prince Tribute Edition on purple vinyl.

We all know that 2004 hall of fame performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps was a defining moment for Prince...

Barnes and Noble emailed me to say that my pre-order of Diamonds and Pearls on vinyl is expected to ship on 12/31/2025. I found that hilarious but also potentially accurate.

I would find it hilarious if that wasn't the one I'm waiting on...

I have the original vinyl LPs that were released except for Black Album & Diamonds And Pearls.

And so, these are the two re-issues I am excited to get.

TBA gets cancelled & D&P gets delayed yet again. So frustrating...

Aside from the obvious argument the a sealed record is useless because you can't play it sealed,

there have been too many reports lately of defective vinyl to trust that a sealed copy actually contains pristine vinyl.
Not to mention that shrinkwrap continues to shrink and can damage the corners of the cover.

But, whatever works for you. More power.
