Let's hope it's soon.
Maybe if we're lucky word will be out at the end of the week. But that's just wishful thinking. WB hasn't dropped any hints so don't be surprised if this week brings no news.

You can't drop something like that without some clue of what to expect...delay? Cancellation? Does this involve the Universal deal drama?

There are some people who get a kick out of pretending to be in the know, I wouldn't pay much attention to them, unless they back their information with some evidence, which is not the case here.

I agree,they need to bring it on! Warners needs to stop delaying,post the tracklist and release date,and let us start pre-ordering this thing.There have been too many months with no official information.

It's times like these that makes me appreciate my bootleg collection. Waiting on this remaster is like waiting for Dr Dre's Detox album to be released. lol

Let's be honest, if the project is cancelled, it only makes it a more fitting tribute to Prince.

A non-arsehole version of your reply would read something like 'I believe you mean accept rather than except; anyway, as of now there is no evidence to suggest that the re-issue has been postponed or cancelled, so it is better to just wait for official news'. It's not hard, Bart...

One such big project like that has to be announced officially (tracklist, artwork, price of the different editions, teaser, availability on amazon, etc.) at least 2 months before the release date.

And even with all of these conditions gathered, once the item on amazon, many long awaited release are often pushed back to another date.

That was the case of the boxet of the 3 Prince movies released on bluray last year.

Alternatively it can be put online for sale with no previous announcement, like some of the biggest albums in the last few years have done. I know this is different, and you are probably right, but we do not have any information at the moment. My guess is that it will be announced at some point this week, to coincide with the anniversary for maximum impact (poor taste, perhaps), but it is a guess. All we can do is speculate and guess right now. Or pretend we are in the know, as some people (not you) are doing.

Thanx feeluupp, hopefully official channels like WB or Rolling Stone will confirm it. The tracklist and pre order availability would be snazzy too.

I'm confused, as the article the Dr has linked on twitter still says Thw 9th of June. It also claims that Universal is ready to start releasing albums of music from he vault, which contradicts what we've been hearing lately.
One thing is for sure: one year after his passing, still nothing is straight forward when it comes to Prince.

Whether the release date is June 9th or June 16th,Warners need to start promoting this set...build up some hype and excitement! This set has the potential to be a big seller.Why don't they release a single now?!

well for the next day or two they have their thunder stolen by an illegal
release that managed to get onto itunes out of nowhere lol

if they want to get some free press in the next few days with the write
ups for the 21st they'd better release the tracklist or even better, put a
single out.

I asked a person that has contacts in radio and movies and knows all the big promoters in the area and she did not even know about it. She sent me a message that said she had asked around and no one knows anything except what we know. 5 Discs and coming in June--maybe.

Don Batts talked about how "Baby I'm A Star" was such a great piano piece before they mucked it up on Purple Rain - that'd be nice to hear.

That would be interesting to hear considering Baby I'm A Star is my favourite Prince track. I guess I've been loving the 'mucked up' version all this time smile

It was my first go-to song on the soundtrack back then.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

So no new info confused




I don't have much opinion on the live concerts, but it's assumed they'll be a couple of PR tour shows. Hopefully not Syracuse because we have that. We've seen clips from Landover, MD ("I Would Die 4 U/ Baby I'm A Star"), and Houston ("Take Me With U"), so we know there are great copies of at least those two dates. But knowing Prince, there are copies of almost every date.




I would argue we haven't received Syracuse yet. Sure, it was released on crappy home video many many years ago but I've never seen a great cleaned up copy of that show - it always looked dark and muddy (maybe the source material looks that bad!) but I'd be happy with a cleaned up version of Syracuse on DVD or SD Blu Ray.



Also the WB press release chose its words carefully when describing the 2 live shows being released - the wording suggests they won't necessarily be PR live shows.





They likely recorded Syracuse on BetaCam Sp which holds 340 lines of resolution quality compared to the maximum 250 lines of resolution that VHS can hold... so a DVD sourced from the original BetaCam tapes will look much better than the VHS. Now god forbid if they can't find the original BetaCam tapes and they transfer a VHS copy to DVD.

I'd be satisfied with a quality that is similar to the live videos on the Blu-Ray of Purple Rain.
[Edited 4/15/17 9:35am]


This concrt film was also released on laser disc. There is a DVD rip of this which has quite good quality, mauch better than video tape. So, in case WB cannot have tbe original source tapes, they could use the laser disc....

Very true blue, very true.

We Can Fuck and Wonderful Ass? I mean how do the only two songs with swears in the title wind up on this as the first music most will hear from Prince's vault? It's cause Warner knows his stance on swearing and is flipping him the bird. Their animosity lives on even after he is gone.
