I'm so happy!!!! Thank U so much (in those weird days) for this fantastic news! I never understood why during the Record Store Day no digital download was available with the disc.

Now we can at last, getting America (Single Version) & Paisley Park (Extended version) with pristine versions.

Ordered now!

Thanks, I know it as mentioned in my reply...

Very cool release!

Too bad it's not really accessable.

Import? Or wait for the eventual (someday) release of ATWIAD SDE to have those couple of tracks on CD?

What is "Embracing The Beat"? I'm assuming an instrumental or bonus beats of "When Doves Cry"?

Yes, but there is no "Single Version" of it either, so you and God only know what you meant

There's no such thing, it's obviously poor Google Translate. Here the titles are in English, it's just the original release as such: https://tower.jp/item/5038544/

Want one!

It was not exactly unreleased music...

udo said:

Buy one.

I ordered the Mega Jacket version from Amazon Japan. I wonder if the release date will be pushed back?

Not a poor translation. The Amazon site lists track 10 as ビートに抱かれて(アルバム・ヴァージョン) , which translates literally as "Hugged by the Beat (Album Version)". It must just be a track listing error. Lord knows where they got that from.

Also:

.

This is one disc.

Old material. Released and mostly available in other formats.

How does this fit into the greater 'plan' that the `Estate` cooked up?

In their 'strategy'?

There is none.

Elsewhere one can see how releases are done.

Have a look at Pink Ployd's 'Early Years' compilationbox.

.

So `Estate` (AKA moneysuckers galore), take heed:

Until you release something that comes close to halfway of that set or more you are amateurs in disguise that do not understand a thing about how things are supposed to be done.

One does not need to be an 'enterntainment' person raking in millions of paper fiat to tell you that.

Is Erotic City (Extended Version) going to have the same glitch that is on Purple Rain SuperDeluxe? Was it on the vinyl release or not

If you're talking about the vinyl release of the Purple Rain remaster, none of the bonus content was released on vinyl, just the album.

No, they're talking about the RSD release.

PS: If you think that’s strange, in Japan “Prince” album was called “愛のペガサス”. Not really bad title but still...

U japanese?

Nope. Just curiosity and some knowledge of Japanese language.

Where are all these Japanese fans? They're supposed to be one of P's biggest fanbase, hell, he bothered to tour there so many times when he wouldn't even do the US, yet very few ever showed up on the Org. They're like a secret society of Prince fans, I wanna know about them

AFAIK most Japanese aren't well versed in English. Most likely they also stick to their own social media and forums.
