If there would be another release, who would have to the rights? Tidal? WB? Also, how many albums is Tidal able to release?

As the estate is in dissarray and no one is really sure of what music is going to be released, I am really intrigued with "Orginals" and what else could be released. So much great music that we could hear!

Yep, it's part of a settlement between Tidal and the estate over who owned the rights to what, etc. (remember when Jay Z was bragging about having Prince's music and all that.)

I do think Piano and a Microphone and Originals could be testings for a future series of similar releases over 2 or 3 years.

We don't see it anytime soon (ie in a year's time). There is something coming in the late summer. It won't be WB.

If there is a Vol. 2, I'd imagine it will be a Warner Bros album. As to what could be on Vol 2, Tidal has a "Written By: Prince" playlist. Here's the songs on it that aren't on Originals. Nasty Girl 777-9311 Get It Up How Come You DOn't Call Me Love Song Sugar Walls A Love Bizarre Yo Mister Jerk Out Stand Back Why Should I Love You? With This Tear 2gether 101 The Belle Of St. Mark The Bird He's Mine

I thought Prince only played keyboard on Stand Back?

Prince did not do any vocals for "stand back." Other than Nicks used the music for LRC the only input Prince had as the Synthisizer... So his verson dosn't exist.


also "How Come You DOn't Call"? what?

"A Love Bizarre" would be cool!

"The Belle Of St. Mark" is something I would LOVE to hear more than any other of the songs he wrote for others.

He did. He didn't write it. And his keyboard parts have been released/leaked on the internet. He played a few parts (more than just one as the story used to go). There'd be no reason to have "Stand Back" on there, because it's not his original song.

Wendy & Lisa - Waterfall

Wendy & Lisa - Lolly Lolly

Madonna - Like a Prayer

Madonna - Keep It Together

Thanks Trivs. What would you like to see released?? I would like to see a 2 disc set of various songs from P&M 2016 tour...so many great performances!

So if it isn’t WB, that means it’s sony, which means legacy. Get ready for more purple vinyl at triple the price of a normal record.

I guess it could be the First Ave 83 concert that Apple bought the rights to (along with the rights to make a documentary out of it and the rehearsal footage leading up to that show)

People were saying that a CD/DVD were being planned for release.

Not really. Remember, WB is only thru the early 90s. NPG Records was what Sony took over. I mean, we don't know exactly what it is, but I'm not totally sure it's just going to be another purple vinyl cash grab. Of course, we'll see.

First they sell you the albums.

Then they sell you the originals.

Then they sell you the demoes.

And then they remaster them all.

Logically, WB should schedule 1999 Deluxe next spring, about this time. I think they're still not ready to release more than one album a year. So beyond that, we're looking at 2021. I'm not sure what Sony could release. Maybe The Undertaker?

I believe, as noted in other's posts, that if Piano and a Microphone and Originals does well, they could be a setup for a series over time, maybe every 2 or 3 years. I said that about PAAM when it came out, too.

There are many things I'd like to see come out. But what is logical to actually sell records to a larger market... that remains to be seen. With PAAM & Originals, I stay optimistic. I'll ride the Originals wave for a year, it's such a rich set.

WTF did let that happen?

Nice coherent releases will not be releaised this way.

Please provide some backgrounds.

It isn't a "cover" it's just him blazing guitar over the track and actually turn it into a good track...
I want to hear his cover of Jacko's "Bad" that supposedly exists somewhere in his vault...

Very unlikely, I see no reason why.

However there is the mystery of Are You My Baby? and that instrumental sometimes titled Pickle that appears to be a genuine Prince outtake and that shares its fundations with Are You My Baby?. It's possible Are You My Baby? was based on that track Prince sent to W&L and this is what BigChick believes, but it's still a bit unclear what happened and how. Neversin do you know anything about this?

If I’m not mistaken, his full guitar track is on the “Club Version” and the “Dub Beats” remix of “LAP”.

If you mean that "Tickle my Pickle" thing, I believe it to be 100% fake, it doesn't even remotely sound like Prince or anything he would do...
The backing track is probably lifted from the instrumental promo of the "Are You My Baby?"...

That's just a small part, he wailed over the entire song and actually murders it... Death by way of the Blue Angel...

Yes, that one. OK thanks, that's interesting. BigChick was totally convinced it was real but I can't recall if it had to do with the way he obtained it before it leaked, or if it was just his personal belief. I agree at first I wasn't sure but it sounded like something Prince could have done on one of these days he does something unusual and toys with new tools and concepts.

I once wrote to W&L's website to ask but never got a reply.

So OK, your take on it makes sense. Let's see if further info on this emerges but if not, then maybe it was a fake. For reasons I won't reveal here because I don't think you have, but you'll see what I mean, I'll trust your hears more than the average person's

I hope so. I really love Originals!

I certainly hope so.
