Musicology, 3121, and Planet Earth - [Pre-Order Available Now] So apparently Sony is going to re release physically post 1993 album.
. They begin with these 3 albums, available on CD and vinyle. . Best news of the year for me. . If they really release the 23 albums unavailable next year, Prince will be a huge physical seller. ***** [See link below, luv4u:] https://www.bullmoose.com...7AbZcAJmE8 ***** UPDATE: You can now pre-order the albums from the Prince|Official store Link: https://store.princeestate.com/store/ Musicology - 3121 - Planet Earth Pre-order Legacy re-issues: https://store.princeestat...229_104317 [luv4u] |

Great news... Wonder what happened with the WB re releases for vinyl... It stopped at SOTT if I remember correctly.
Didn't they announce The Black Album too last year then cancelled that re release. | |

Musicology was released as a promo on vinyl... 3121 there is some debate, if it ever was released as a promo, they said that one "released" was actually a boot. | |

Musicology and 3121 will be double vinyl releases. |

These 3 won’t have much appeal to the masses | |

Depends on if/how they are promoted. The masses will buy/get into anything if it's sold correctly. [Edited 11/30/18 8:35am] "New Power slide...." |

They are listed on Amazon UK. The vinyl prices are extortionate.
Musicology and 3121 are £72.00 Planet Earth is £59 [Edited 11/30/18 9:20am] | |

These albums were sold only during their promotion, then out of print. It s been more than 10 years, 15 for Musicology in 2019 (!) That these albums are not available anymore in wrecastore, or Amazon at. A normal price. . So no, not everybody has it, that s for sure. |

Musicology made him the best paid musician of 2004. 3121 is his first album to go directly to #1 in the USa. . Planèt Earth was promoted by a 21 nights tour in the UK, it sold more 3.5 millions by the daily mail only. And how can you forget the Superbowl show? The intronisation to the RNR hall of fame? . Prince was hype all over again. . Contrary to the period where he changed his name... |

But I can’t see physical re-releases of these selling much, unless they somehow (re)release singles or make some compelling viral videos. "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

I disagree for Planet Earth... Yes the Daily Mail sold millions, but it didn't count as a "sale" in terms of charts for Planet Earth... Planet Earth sold very low numbers in the U.S. and really had no significant impact worldwide on the charts.
In terms of sales the biggest post WB selling albums are: (Technically The Very Best of Prince is "post WB" but lets not include that one...
1. MUSICOLOGY 2. EMANCIPATION 3. 3121 4. ULTIMATE PRINCE 5. RAVE UN2 THE JOY FANTASTIC 6. LOTUSFLOW3R 7. PLANET EARTH

You can t blame Sony for re releasing these albums that really need it... Musicology and Call my Name were hits and nobody could buy it for almost 15 years. . I agree this is way too late, but it s better than nothing. If it doesn't t sell well, blame it on Prince and his estate. |

Are you aware that streaming counts in the album charts today ? They count even two times : for the track, and for an album (which is completely arbitrary when this track is on many albums, such as Purple Rain for instance...) . The sales with the daily mail are true sales, in the contrary of the streaming. . Don t fall in the trap of the labels, that Prince tried for decades to emancipate us with new and legitimate ways of selling albums, that even inspired the industry. . Hell, that was his main message during 25 years. . Free albums or 10 cent albums in the music club, were always eligible in the charts, so is the streaming now. . Prince was the only artist (with maybe David Bowie) who could free himself enough from the labels and the industry to release a new studio album in the press with such huge numbers. . Even for 2010, the copies were sold out within hours, he could have print it 4 times more...That s a great achievement. [Edited 12/2/18 23:34pm] |

Still Rod, it wasn't counted as a sale in the charts... So Planet Earth technically was not one of his biggest selling post WB albums.
Go look up the streaming numbers for Planet Earth on spotify... It is not one of his biggest selling post WB albums period. | |

why bother releasing this stuff WITHOUT bonus tracks ? | |

Go look up the streaming numbers for Planet Earth on spotify... It is not one of his biggest selling post WB albums period. Go look up the sales in the press of other artists... . If it s so easy, why nobody can t do that besides Prince ? . Why is that that more than 3 millions people in the UK owns Planet Earth? . I m sorry but you didn't t understand the point. . Music club sales never counted in the charts too. NEVER. But it counted in the final sales. There was a time (until 1994) where music club sales didn't t even count in the certifications! These "sales" : we are talking about albums given for free in bundles or at 10 cents... . Some Albums, such as Blood On the Dance Floor, sold more than 3/4 of its total sales (!) By being given for free In albums bundles ! . How ridiculous is that? . There was also a time where internet physical sales, digital sales, ticket album sales, streaming sales, etc. Didn't t count in the charts. . Prince was always ahead of the industry, and helped redefine it. . He wanted to sue the UK charts in 2007 for planet earth. The facts are that people get out of their houses, paid for the album, and have its physical copies. You can t say that for streaming or even digital sales. . Now, more than 10 years later, with the music industry having changed so much, it s almost insulting to not acknowledge these numbers. . That s the real proof you really didn't t understand what Prince did in the last two decades, and what the music industry is. [Edited 12/4/18 0:42am] |

luvsexy4all said: why bother releasing this stuff WITHOUT bonus tracks ? The real question is : why these albums were out of print in the first place. Why Prince did that everytime? What was the point? . Technically and contractually, nothing prevents Sony to load these re releases with B sides, remixes, radio edits, music video, etc. . Remember, Musicology had a music video track on it. . So wait and see... |
