If some folks have a high quality soundboard of First Ave 1983, it's possible that clip was just the existing footage synced to the soundboard audio. The video footage itself didn't seem drastically better than what is already circulating, did it?

I know this isn't comfirmation, but the Japanese version doesn't have any bonus tracks. That's often a good indication that there won't be any store-specific exclusives. That seems to be becoming less common anyway. I may be wrong but I can't think of any recent Target, Walmart, Best Buy exclusives.

Also, if you look at discs 2 and 3, there really isn't any room for any other tracks given that a CD is potentially 80 minutes long. Those discs seem to be full. It could fit at the end of the remastered album, but it'd be weird to stick one track at the end of the original 9 tracks.

Not saying we shouldn't dream of getting everything we want from this project, but at this point I'm excited for what I know is coming. It's not perfect, but it's pretty exciting all the same.


Target still does exclusive editions on a regular basis. Some recent examples are the latest albums from Sheryl Crow, Allison Krauss, John Mellencamp, and Gwen Stefani. They do seem to be becoming less common elsewhere--Best Buy has done them less frequently of late, and I haven't heard of any at Walmart for quite a while.


That said, I wouldn't expect any exclusive versions of this release. In fact, Target has the 2-CD version of Purple Rain up for preorder on their website, with no mention of exclusives.

My collection is mostly Blu-Ray movies, that's pristine for the moment. Don't get me wrong, all things considered, the clip did look very good.

I havnt checked the sample myself but has anyone compared it to the more recent "First Avenue 83 - The Right Way" boot? The video was digitally cleaned up altho the audio on that was still video sourced, so if the sample audio is soundboard it would have had to come from warners or one of the collectors that have it

Just compared.


The new clip is marginally better in terms of brightness, contrast and color grading, but only slightly. I'd say it's no more than a 5-10% max improvement on First Avenue The Right Way.

It's the audio that's far better, so this could still be this footage, ran through some digital enhancement filters and color grading, blended with the soundboard audio.

Not discounting the idea that WB are working on this, but this clip is far from solid proof on it's own.

Thanks.

Hey everyone, Ive been in contact sifi outside of the org after messaging them and they have let me know there will infact be an additional harcore version centred release with G-Spot, Wednesday, etc, (hasn't given me full info) Additionally there maybe a release of movie outtakes (not clear). An outtake called Amnesia, Jailbait was also mentioned as part of something unlisted from one of the 100 tracks Magnoli was claimed to be given

Ah fair enough, wasn't previously aware of The Right Way actually so thanks for this. Guess this does mean that there's a fair possibility that it was just a fan created clip after all, hope that's not the case but you're right, the clip doesn't really confirm anything.

And if applied to the whole thing (the copy I had was on VHS from 25 years ago) I would be more that pleased!

so now the thread about purple rain deluxe, which we've waited for, for well over 2 years,
and the current release of "electric intercourse" has now become a thread about a concert
that is not even in the package, and a really rather pathetic plea-fest for a user who may
or may not have had relevant information about a future release.

Comparison between Prince's raw uncleaned footage of "First Avenue 1983" in the vault (blue) and the best bootleg version (purple) and as you can see not much difference (even though pics are low quality)...

No one can argue that the audio is 1000x better on that snippet than what is circulating.

What might be argued is the video quality. The circulating video is definitely multi-generation VHS dubbed. There is ghosting, muddy detail, colrs are off, etc...

Now, one thing to keep in mind is that the master recording itself is 34 years old. It was probably shot on beta (still tape, not digital). Taking age into consideration, when you compare what is circulating with this snippet, the video quality is actually very much improved. The venue is obviously lowly lit so that plays a part in the overall quality. But looking at this snippet, what I see is, no ghosting at all, The colors are very close to accurate (look at Prince's guitar), but the lighting in the venue will affect that too. There is much more detail in the image. Look at Prince and Wendy's faces, the cymbal stands behind them, the shot of the crowd when the light hits them.

I created a clip of the circulating video, followed by the snippet and the improvement in video quality is very notceable to me. I would share, but doesn't seem like that is allowed.

Hence "raw uncleaned footage"... I was asked to post these old pics because some said only Prince had the raw footage which could be cleaned... These pics prove otherwise...

I actually like the blue/purple colours and the slightly crappy picture quality. Just add perfect sound to it.

I said that was the rumor. Which right now, it is. We don't know either way right now. I'm just considering all (well...both of) the options.

As Neversin has just proven, others had access to the raw footage and could clean it up. We already knew some folks had the soundboard.

So as of right now, all that Sifi has, is his word. I'm not saying he is lying, nor saying he's telling the truth. Just saying that clip isn't enough to go on.

Can we consider that these details 1st given by Sifi on this post about the Outtakes on the cd3 of PRDeluxe are B.S or straight away from his imagination?

Disc 3: From the Vault

The Dance Electric – 11:29

This song is best-known from André Cymone’s 1985 recording; Prince also occasionally performed it live.

Love & Sex – 5:00

A previously unreleased song from the Purple Rain sessions.

Computer Blue (Hallway Speech Version) – 12:18

A previously unreleased version of this track, including a section known as the “hallway speech” because it refers to a metaphorical passage through hallways marked “lust” and “fear.”

Velvet Kitty Cat – 2:42

A previously unreleased recording.

Katrina’s Paper Dolls – 3:30

A demo version of this song has circulated, but this finished master has never before been heard.

We Can Fuck – 10:17

This song was released on Graffiti Bridge as a George Clinton collaboration called “We Can Funk.” This earlier version has never before circulated at its full ten-minute length.

Electric Intercourse (Studio Version) – 4:57

Live versions of this song have circulated, but this studio recording has never before been heard — and was not even previously known to exist.

Our Destiny/Roadhouse Garden – 6:25

These two songs, connected by a segue, have been performed live.

Possessed – 7:56

This song was widely performed live, and a 1984 recording has been circulated; this is an earlier, never-before-heard 1983 Prince solo version.

Wonderful Ass – 6:24

A previously unreleased collaboration with Wendy and Lisa.

Father’s Song – 5:30

One of the holy grails of Prince’s Vault, this piano piece co-written by Prince and his father is heard briefly in the film. It’s previously been heard only in an abbreviated version taken from the film — never before at its full length

That info is generic anyway and in some cases incorrect - the demo of Katrina's hasn't circulated widely.

All those pics looks blurry AF when compared to Sifi's snippit footage. However, I can understand Militant's point that it's still unverified info. I say IF what Sifi said happens and we get an PR expanded - expanded edition that includes even more unreleased tracks like Wednesday, Gspot, and others, then that would vindicate his claim to the iron throne of westeros...oops, I mean to being an WB insider.

I wonder if best buy or Target will have a exclusive extra song if u buy the purple rain cd from their store? That's a pretty common thing now days. Just imagine , "17 days" extended version available on purple rain cd ONLY if you buy it from best buy

I know this isn't comfirmation, but the Japanese version doesn't have any bonus tracks. That's often a good indication that there won't be any store-specific exclusives.

Although I don't think there will be store exclusives with this. But Target does exclusive tracks all the time. Mary J Blige's new album has 2 Target bonus tracks. John Legend's new album, Nora Jones, New Kids on The BLock's new album that comes out Friday 5/12, Sheryl Crow, John Mellencamp etc...

They actually have a section with "Target exclusives" in the store.

The live version is sung with such emotion it makes me cry. The studio version is still awesome though. Especially from a female point of view. Both versions cause me to need a cold shower so to speak

I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.
