Yeah, same.

Nice one. Glad that it will be available in a broader sense and gets the light it deserves.

So glad I paid over a hundred bucks for the CD. (Okay, I've had it for at least 10 years - I'm not really complaining.)

This is one I'd definitely like to have on vinyl.

This is one of the least listened-to Prince eras for me, but even *I'm* getting excited at the thought of seeing this one with the big LP-size artwork. Feck it, maybe I should get a copy despite not having even been looking out for this one. Sorry, bank manager.

I have two original CDs already but I think it´s a great idea to re-release this so that those who don´t own it don´t have to pay such absurd sums on Ebay.

Then again, those who paid a lot for their copy or who were thinking of selling their original CD for a huge profit probably won´t like this news.

There's suddenly a glut of ONA cds and The Rainbow Children vinyl appearing for sale on eBay for high prices. Obviously hoping hadn't seen the news

This will make a great gift.

This album is so much better than The Truth

Well, we all have opinions. Mine is that The Truth is among his best albums and One Nite Alone is my absolute least favorite Prince album ever.

After years (decades) of my favorite part of his live shows being the piano medleys, the piano studio album was a major letdown for me.

The Piano & Microphone tour made up for it though. That's the kind of stuff I was expecting when ONA was announced. Even the Piano & Microphone 83 album is better than this one.

In my not-so-humble opinion, of course...

I agree.

I mean, I like the ONA piano album but it just didn´t live up to my expectations and the songs on it are , in my opinion, not very memorable, and I much prefer the Piano and a Microphone ´83 album. I already had several pressed bootleg CDs of it but it was still nice to have it as a legit release in slightly better quality. I also prefer that short but sweet Sunset Studio piano rehearsal over ONA piano.

It is not really a bad album per se but the songs are just not that memorable and a bit meandering, IMO.

But it is NOT my least favorite Prince album....that would be HitNRun Phase 1. ONA piano is just not as good as it could´ve been.

March 27th is also attached for TRC. Any confirmations on that end?

Was there a booklet in the original release? Credits information?

So it looks like this is not being released on CD as a separate release, unfortunately...

This is a pity as I didn't want to buy the ONA Live box set again. Still, if I must.

The pictures of the set look as nice as the Rave set, so once again I don't need any of it but will still buy it. Niiiiice set.

I was here for the ONA piano CD.

Got this on MP3 when I was in NPGMC. It's one of the only albums of his that I don't own on CD. If this was being reissued on CD I'd buy it to fill that gap, but really not interested in the vinyl. Not one of his best albums for me, but I'd still like it on CD to fill that space. Such a shame if it's vinyl only.

Are they all (obviously) remastered ?

You can find the CD on the second-hand market. (That's how I purchased mine.) And with this new release, it is possible the price will come down a bit on the CD. I paid over $100US for mine - but that was the going rate 10 years ago.

I do plan on plumping for the vinyl, though. Just seems like a fitting format for an album that has such an intimate sound. I can't wait to drop the needle on this one.

The CD will be part of the 4CD/DVD set. $39 at Amazon's not bad for that. The original CD is going for much more than that, and, the original 3CD set went for much more than that when it came out new, so that's a good price. Plus, the new set looks niiiice. I have all 5 discs but I'll pick it up at that price.

I bought a few last year. For Musicology & 3121 the vinyl sound MUCH better than than the original releases as they are not brickwalled. The Rave 2CD/DVD set were exactly the same as the originals.

I expect similar with these.

Nah, I'll leave it. I only ever listened to the MP3s of it a handful of times and it never really wowed me. Only wanted the CD for completeness sake, filling a gap in my collection. Not buying a used copy for silly money. Just wish they'd realise that not everybody owns a record player, and some of us still like CDs so we can do things like play them in our cars, etc. It's a no from me.
