Is it on Tidal? Actually, I'm not finding it on Spotify or Amazon Music either. Am I missing something?

I think it became available in Spain, where I am now, at midnight. It might be the case for every country and you might have to wait a few hours...

Thanks. It's weird. I clicked on the link for Spotify, and it lists the album but with only 37 songs, and it the only one playable is "We March". Maybe it's going to be released tomorrow and it's still Thursday here in Sunny and Hot Simi Valley California (9pm).

yes, new releases on spotify always show up thursday night 23:00 so they're on the site when
people wake up on friday, since friday is the day the new albums are released.

all prince albums showed up for me just after 23:00 tonight.

everything's there now, isn't it? except for "the black album" and "the most beautiful girl in the
world" isn't there yet either. must be some seriously weird legal issues with that song.

Where you located? I'm thionking it's waiting to drop for us on the west coast at 9am (which would be midnight on the east)...

"the gold experience" is on spotify, so i guess it'll show up on itunes too, since all of
the other new additions to spotiry are also on itunes.

except for the black album which is on neither.

"new power soul" is technically a 'new power generation' release so that might by why
it's not there.

hopefully they'll start putting up some associated artist releases and then they'll surely
include nps and exodus too.

It's really a shame that The most beautiful girl in the world isn't on Anthology and there's nothing from Come. They could've at least included Letitgo

Well "Come" has already been on Spotify (and other streaming services) so there's really no need to include tracks from in it this compiliation

They should be, but both the NPGMC releases have been available to download on the Tidal store without subscription for years. The sound quality is far superior to the originals.

I know, but I bought a couple of things from tidal and the price was a rip off (they converted one pound - one dollar) and I never got the files I paid for, so I’m avoiding them. By the way, I just checked iTunes U.K. and they’re all there! [Edited 8/16/18 17:06pm]

Wait--I don't know what the prices were on Tidal, but are you saying (as an example) that a UK purchase that would cost 20 dollars in the US would cost 20 pounds? Wow.

UPDATE : Steve Parke did the artwork

Any word of a physical cd release of The Anthology?

Jeez who wrote this album description? From Apple Music

First wave? What else do they have the rights to?

How 'bout you try reading the sticky on the Sony deal, m'kay?

YEAHHHH!

fantastic start in a new day - crystal ball alone ist great ... the Antholog is great

new cover for the truth

thanks

I won't comment on the totally arbitrary, near absurd at times tracklist of the Anthology. It's as bad as any fanmade playlist if you ask me...

.

What I find worth noticing, though, is that:

- C-Note fails to be properly credited to The New Power Generation, as per its cover art (on the other hand, it was already the case on Tidal in P's lifetime, and anyway nowadays albums by Prince And The Revolution/NPG are also solely credited to Prince.)

- The Chocolate Invasion is, as on Tidal in P's lifetime, the previously unreleased, original configuration as opposed to the original 2004 release. I still have doubts as to whether this was intentional or a mistake made by some intern at PP who got the wrong tape in the vault when asked to gather all those albums for Tidal. I'd find it nice, though, if the original 2004 release was made available as well.

- There's a new artwork for The Truth, different from the one previously made available on Tidal. I'd like to know whether this was an alternate artwork considered by Prince or some Photoshop nonsense by the Estate. I'd rather have had the Tidal, Prince-approved cover art though.

.

Regardless, it's nice to see this music at long last made available for a new generation of listeners

"Anthology" does not use the Gold Experience"-Version of "I Hate U".

It's the Maxi-Single version (without the "Hate Experience"-intro, but including the final chord).

Good!

Ironically, what may be Prince’s best-known track from this period is not part of the digital release: “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World” (from The Gold Experience) is at least temporarily on hold due to a pending legal tussle, in Europe, over the song’s authorship.

I feel this isn't anything to be upset about nor excited about.

All Spotify have done is make a compilation to promote the catalogue editions.

I think the word 'anthology' is a little misplaced.

But it's nice to see Steve Parke involved in creating a nice new graphic.
