SO FRUSTRATING. This is one of my grail tracks. We may NEVER get to hear this in perfect studio quality. I feel it wouldn't be released unedited anyway.

Just saw this on youtube, sounds like what people are referring to here.

Just a bunch of 1982 era out-takes.

Of course not, because that is a project most fans actually wanted.

I honestly prefer a box set with only vault material ... our time in Planet Earth is limited!

I think there are such amazing things in the vault that we wouldn´t even believe !!!

This is ridiculous.If it is already sequenced and ready to go,why not put it out? Release the darn thing!

Deluxe this, deluxe that....as soon as they sort out the vault, they better realese all the live video footage Prince was famous for in bulk, that's all I can say, can start with the variety of live concerts from the after dark screenings at PP and the 2016 PP P&M gig.

I reallyhope, before I die, to learn the reasons behind the scenes, why these stupid decisions are made. . Because I really want to know why they couldn't release the same fucking year Piano83 and 1999 deluxe. Why they couldn't release one deluxe edition every 3 months. . I want to know they are waiting years and years, while the physical market was already almost dead in 2016 as the interest that is vanishing.

i'm not on twitter, but aren't prince fans asking these questions of warners? and tidal? and the estate?

the only things i see when the official prince facebook posts something, is people kissing ass.

why aren't people asking these companies where the product is?

if i was on twitter i would, but i'm not going to set up an account just for that.

If it is already sequenced, I really don’t understand why the estate can’t release it and something else this year...

I heard nothing has been sequenced and taht it wasn;t even planned as a release any time soon and that WB didn't even know about any kind of plans for a 1999 deluxe.
But I also heard some people complained to WB and that the project was a half assed ghetto job like Purple Rain Deluxe.

Is that speculation, or do you have inside info?

[Edited 3/27/19 9:24am]

This entire thread is speculation. People tying themselves into knots over nothing.

What we all need is the rerelease of the new master 1999.

I'm thinking that we need to start some kind of petition to let Warners and the estate know exactly what we want we should be getting at least three 'deluxe editions' a year!

sounds like an idea

As i mentioned before PRINCE's stuff is scattered and I personally dont think he really cared about "after I am gone". Because of Prince's battles with WB and his one off deals and NPG label and other scattered things I really just dont think we are going to ever see a lot of what we think WE SHOULD see. Morris Hayes who was the one band member that was with the man longer than anyone, was probably his closest friend in a band till at least 2012 which is when Mr Hayes says "he needed a break", Morris has said, "If the estate wants my help, just call" his phone has never rung nor has any label contacted him. Prince's stuff is divided, he has deals with labels and digital distribution, vinyl reissues, all over the place. We of course all want what we want but again i think at this point "think of getting nothing" and then you will be happy, because we are not really going to see what we want or think we should be getting. You are not going to get live gigs and unreleased videos, so far his YouTube channel hasnt even been able to figure out HD, on things that have been out there, and you want them to start pushing out new unheard and unseen stuff? Not going to happen. At this point be glad that certain Youtube things have not been shut down that have been showing and sharing things also some FB pages have been sharing some "unreleased" videos, with a new YouTube law that passed in the UK get ready to start seeing ALOT disappear once this comes here. So I know we all want PRINCE to be handled like Bowie releases and the way Pearl Jam and Springsteen turn out tons of live stuff and rare things, it is just NOT going to happen. Bowie has control a long time ago, Prince did not, also Prince has a lot more un heard stuff and unreleased stuff than Bowie and also Bowie had a label that was holding on to this stuff, WB was not even aware of things, they are clueless he had a vault and also alot is in poor condition and not in order. Some have even compared this to the Beatles, and Im like "What"! The beatles had studio people and a prodcuer that was taking care of these tapes and recordings, PRINCE kicked technicians out the room, so really if you are lucky to get something at the point, be happy.
