I honestly don't know what format I'll get. I kind of can't believe they're not releasing the show on iTunes. I guess they still might, so I'll probably wait. It would just be a waste to me personally to buy a cd/dvd set. My dvd player isn't even plugged in (for some reason my cable has to run through that port) and I never play CDs, can't even play them in my computer.
Your TV only has one input?!? Even most cheapo sets have at least 2 inputs. The other one is occupied -- Bluetooth headphones so that my husband or I can still watch TV if the other is sleeping (studio loft apartment). And frankly I don't watch DVDs enough to swap things around. |

Headphones should be connected to an output, not an input.
I would offer to research you TV's model # and come up with a solution for you to use all three, but since you don't seem to be bothered with it I won't. If you change your mind, odds are that it could be done with minimal effort.

They should be but they're not. I have to connect them through the AV ports like a DVD player. If the TV were a year or two newer it might have already had Bluetooth built in, but I had to buy a converter. What kills me is that the cable runs through the AV ports rather than the normal cable input. I might eventually call Comcast and tell them to come out and change that. I would need a totally different box. Overall, that isn't what bothers me. I'd just rather buy the concert film via iTunes so I can watch it on my TV and phone or ipad on the plane or train or wherever. I can't even tell you the last time I bought a dvd. The last time I watched one was probably when Allen Toussaint died and I wanted to watch the concert DVD of him with Elvis Costello. I do appreciate the offer though! I'll probably still buy the DVD set anyway! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

The 3CD/DVD set. The picture disk isn't remastered, and pic disks are usually gimmicks, and not great on sound quality when compared to regular vinyl pressings. (Some make the same arguments against colored vinyl, but the picture disk makes way more sense in being inferior quality.)
If I'm feeling frisky, I might get the 2-CD set just because. I will definitely get the remastered vinyl. (Ironically I saw the 180gram remaster from a few years ago at B&N today; along with the ATWIAD & Parade remasters, and the few 12"'s that came out remastered, too). So in short:
3CD/1DVD - Yes
2 CD - maybe
vinyl remaster - Yes
Picture disk - Nope
Can someone explain to me what the difference is between the new remastered vinyl and the 180g remaster from a couple years ago? I am not sure if there is a difference...
the new remastered album was remastered by prince in 2015 and the 180 gram was reissued without being remastered by prince. |

They were both remastered by Bernie Grundman. Read the thread, por favor.

I'm still not set on the picture disk. It's a gimmick, more than an audio lover's need for something on vinyl or remastered on a CD. And the picture disk is already out. The one with all this isn't going to be anything different.

3CD/1DVD version... but only if the packaging is half decent. I'm sick of deluxe versions of catalogue releases (see Tori Amos, The Blue Nile) coming out in flimsy digipak crap. |

On the Official Prince Music site store, there are now a lot of existing 12" singles, but there are reissues of "When Doves Cry", "Let's Go Crazy", "Purple Rain", and "I Would Die 4 U" 12" singles. They're on Amazon, too (except PR 12" as of this posting). All due to be released on June 23.
The OPM site has a lot of music in the store now, including a few albums on.... wait for it... cassette. Including Dirty Mind with it's old lyric warning label. Remember, that album predated the PMRC/Tipper Gore nonsense with labeling record albums, which is now a standard practice because of that. [Edited 6/5/17 20:31pm] Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |
