Emancipation 3-CD rerelease. It’s been years since I listened to it (lost my copy ).

I have been curious about the recent emancipation CD release.Are they the edited or the uncensored version? I have a old copy from many years ago and it is censored on a few songs, memorably "Face Down".

I bought a $20 ticket to a b-sides/deep cuts party in Minnie during the June celebration. Which i probably won't go to since I'm likely getting laid off this year. I just needed to dream.
And the MUSIC continues...forever...

AFAIK, the Emancipation reissues are all uncensored. Any "clean" version should be labeled as such. If it's not, you should be good to go.

It would be 1999 SDE, if I can find a way to buy it. Seriously, how am I supposed to buy this thing, 5 CD version? The Estate website says it’s sold out. Amazon in the US only has an import version as far as I can tell which will arrive in February (that might be my best/only option). FYE online doesn’t have it. No Barnes & Noble or Target within 25 miles of me says they have it. I thought this was supposed to be one of his biggest albums and a major, major release for the estate. No wonder it dropped off the charts. It’s hard to be a top seller if it isn’t for sale. I was streaming it on Tidal, but now I got my money right for the physical release and liner notes.
.
So, how do folks recommend buying it in the US?

Yep, that’s the import version I was talking about. I just went ahead and bought it. Interestingly, when I first saw it today, it was about $60.31, when I bought it a couple of hours later it was $63.41, and then you saw it for $65.46, and I just clicked your link and now Amazon shows it as $67.87. I’ve heard that Amazon does that sometimes, but it’s my first time experiencing price increases like this in one day.

Ok, does it list it as an import? I didn't see that it did, just the "UK" in the seller name so I wasn't sure.

I guess I’m misusing the term “import” in some way. Since Amazon describes it as “International product from outside the United States,” I figured that by definition makes it an import. But you probably mean something else, like a different version or something. What does “import” mean to you, in terms of music? I’m happy to be educated on this.

No, you're probably right. It's just usually the description indicates such and unless I missed it this one doesn't.

To me it's an import if it's pressed and released in another country, and it probably is the UK release since the seller's name indicates as much. If so, yeah it's an import.

As long as it has the same or more liner notes and music, I’m good.

All the Zara stuff. I'll probably only wear the Lovesexy hoodie and Controversy shirt though. Maybe the Love jumper to the gym or something. The embroidered shirts are a bit weird to wear to anything but a Prince event, and I don't see them lasting many laundry cycles.

The controversy shirt was meh. Unlike you I only bought the embroidered jumper. Why you think it's weird to wear? it says Prince the message is clear... lol

The hoodie was nice too but i hate hoodies..

Prince I will always miss and love U.

I just mean weird in that the metallic embroidery makes them seem a bit "fancy," for my style of dress, which tends to be a bit more low key.

For those who haven't got the Super Deluxe 1999 CD set, some online stores have it in stock now. I ordered mine from Deep Discount, and was able to get the total price down to $45.12 with a 15% discount code. It shipped this morning. The code is CHILLOUT, and expires the 29th at midnight.

I bought the black T-shirts with small golden logo and the one with 'Controversy' cover pic,

also the black sweater with the golden 'Purple Rain - Prince' typo last year when they came out.

They are absotely fabulous !

I'm wearing on right now. wink

I often get positive remarks from people everywhere.

I never ever wore a Prince T-shirt in my life - thought it was too much.

I did not wanted to be that 'fan'. Still considder 'fan' something weird.

ANd by the way, I never EVER wear a visible/readable brand.

Now i'm way over 50, I couldn't care less. wink

The thing for me is 'classy' T's or sweaters are very hard to find.

This collection is just great and pretty much stylish.

Never liked the Prince-sign-logo, or 'NPG' as such on a T.

But his name, 'Prince', yeah. That's cool. smile

-

I bought this year already a bunch of vinyls :

Musicology (sales)

and a few related artists on vinyl as well.

Thanks, purplemode! I was so psyched for this info. I was all ready to order, so as not to miss the deadline for the discount. Just before, I took a look at my email inbox, and miracle (well, they did say something about the end of January!), the Estate came through!! Super Deluxe 1999 is on its way and I went to bed in a happy purple reverie.

Haven't bought anything yet in 2020!

The book My Name Is Prince will probably be the first thing of 2020.

That's my first purchase of 2020. I just got it on Wednesday and it's phenomenal.
