What's "Totenham"?

What, some sort of blighted farm team for The Cleveland Browns???

It’s a team based in London who are famous for consistent failure.

So, then...like The Browns???!!

In the UK aren't team eligible to be "bumped down" to lower-level leagues if they don't win enough?

Is Totenham now playing local public high school, or something???

Kinda amazing how many people fail to grasp the meaning of the word "supposedly".

I think that people just want a source to where said rumors started so we can gauge how legit the "supposedness" of the announcement is

What's ironic is that this is the super deluxe I'm most looking forward to, but as a kid I thought Sign O' the Times was laughingly horrible at first listen. And then by the 2nd, 3rd, etc. listen I realized I was sorely mistaken.

That about describes my experience, too. When a casual fan tells me, "I love Prince. Purple Rain is the best" I think oh you sweet summer child.

I bought SOTT on the release date March 31,1987 and didn't feel it until around May. Then I played it non stop for 3 years.

My best friend and I ran out and bought it the day it was released. We both literally laughed at how "awful" it was. Then we both later had the same epiphany around the same at just how awesome it actually was.

Same. Dumb kid that I was, I didn't really care that much for SOTT. The songs seemed so grown and boring at the time. It took a while for me to realize that it was a masterpiece.

Some songs definitely took me a while to fully get into. "It" was the main one, I always skipped over it until one day I woke up with it in my head - from then on everytime I heard it I loved it and it became one of my favs


The album has so many sounds and a lot of the songs are more understated than previous Prince records so I can see how this one is more of a multiple-listens type of record

Obviously. It’s disturbing that you think the rest are true though.

I didn’t say that, just the Tottenham one is the most far fetched

ForceofNature said:

It's definitely a masterpiece, Chappers72. Imagine if it had been 3 discs as intended.

Well said, ForceOfNature. And I felt the same about "It". "Housequake" also sounded like a throw away track to me. How unbelievably naive I was!

I was fifteen when SOTT came out, and loved it all except the ballads and IIWYG. Crazy, right? I thought Slow Love was nothing he hadn't already covered on Parade, Adore was overdone, and IIWYG was underdone. I soon came to my senses, however...

[EDIT: It's gonna be such a treat to hear the album the way it's supposed to sound again, after all these years. ]

I was 18. And same here about the ballads and IIWYG (which is now one of my favorite songs of his). I had no appreciation for his slow ballads.

Yes!...we are in for a treat to get to hear SOTT as intended. September can't come fast enough.

I was ten when it came out and it was the first Prince album that was MINE. Not my mom's, not my sister's ALL MINE! I started listening and never stopped. It became part of my being. Every sound, melody, lyric -- became seared into my brain. I can't wait for the Deluxe.

But let's ask the real questions: with that album cover, which colour are they going to replace with silver foil?

I think the box and CDs and DVD disks should be peach and black colored. I hope it's really coming out!

Come on, Prince Estate! Get this right!!! Give us at least 4 disks of unreleased music!

Oh, and...I knew this album was special when it came out. Ever since I became a fan, I knew that all the stuff this dude was doing was legendary. There's no one like him before or since!

I HOPE NOT !

-

It will possibly be the same artwork as intended (I do hope),

but possibly with a huge (purple?) sticker all over it... something like that.

-

And i'm tired of the PURPLE VINYLS too !

There's a much bigger variety of 'purple colours' to pick from.

Peach and Black vinyls ? nah... we'll see.

-

I very much like the idea they released with 'The RauinBow Children' vinyl;

transparent vinyl with a coloured slipmat... smart move.

Estate ?!

Not silver, gold foil this time
