1999 SD Sold Out. Did They Underestimate Sales?

Either this was deliberate or they had soft sales hopes. Which do you think? I'm betting a cheaper version will be released in diffirent packaging.

Yes. There are people who still have not found a copy who would have purchased one. It’s a shame that there was such limited supply.

I thankfully picked up a new 10LP set last weekend at a store in Sydney. Such an amazing set. Can’t wait for the SOTT set - and wont be leaving it so long this time. Will preorder straight up...

Which store? I really struggled to find it back in November/December last year and ended up finally getting a copy from Warner Australia directly about 3 weeks after the release date.

Good to know! I called them prior to the release and they said they were getting copies in but they were delayed, like seemingly all of Australia, for 3 weeks in receiving copies. mad

Do you remember Melodies & Memories on Gratiot? I happened to visit there on a whim just before Covid-19. The place has really gone downhill in the 20-some years since I’ve been there, but they DID have 1999 Super Deluxe in both CD and LP. I held the LP box in my hands, very impressive! And very expensive!

That's a blast from the past! I haven't been there in a long time. Sad if they have gone downhill. Glad they still showed love to Prince with these sets, though!

Here’s a suggestion: when the SOTT Super Deluxe Edition is announced,go to Amazon and pre-order it immediately.I did this with the 1999 set and had no problems.

.

exactly.

.

unfortunately in these days of record sales it makes more sense to produce lower numbers and drive up demand of future releases and guaruntee early sales rather than produce too many and have copies sitting around unsold. these days you got to jump on it or miss out.

Will Warner Brothers continue to print copies of 1999 SD if there is demand?

This!! Also you will always get the cheapest price.

I bought the Up All Nite boxset for less than $35 but i can imagine it will be very expensive in the future.

Damn straight. The days of waiting and hoping to find things in the bargain bins are long gone.
