Agreed. TBA is an unneeded epilogue to SOTT, but a much-needed prologue to Lovesexy.

The tracklist floating around on Twitter is a fake

That is the list with TBA, CB and one disc of Live (France or Netherlands)?

Good to know...

And why in hell would it be on the SOTT deluxe set?

Because it is a fake tracklist.

This whole thread is a fucking fake.

What a waste of pages - idiots bickering about pointless nonsense, random guesses... wow.

The discrepancy between the amount of CDs and LPs is interesting, and actually supports the inclusion of an SOTT concert.

.

SOTT (2CD/2LP)
+ Mixes/B-Sides (1CD/2LP -- this is supported by the Deluxe being 3CD/4LP)
+ From The Vault (3CD/6LP -- no way they're going to fill one of those CDs only halfway)
= 6CD / 10LP

.

Which leaves 2CD/3LP. Now, 3 LPs is approx. 120 minutes. And what is approx. 120 minutes (or slightly less)? I'm guessing that's a concert recording.

Maybe you should re-post my full quote and not a selective extract, homesquat. You seem to be the one lacking in the cerebral forematter.

As I expected. A weak azz response from you. Wise up, wee one.

What about the movie?

My personal theory is that since it said world on the paper and since it's only DVD, we aren't going to be the Sign concert film as the included concert.

Worldwide, different film companies own the rights. That's why it's been released in Canada, Australia and Japan on Blu-Ray. And why the estate licensed the digital rights to Showtime. (Now I think FilmRise has the digital rights)

But you know, this is all speculation until June 7th. Maybe they'll surprise me and license it for the other countries. But they have a HD transder so it'd make no sense to include the concert film as a DVD only.

My hope: the Paris aftershow with Wasn't my faith. All the originals CB planned tracks. No more SOTT movie but a DVD/blue ray of a "real" concert.

Total: 76:43

Why include those Single Edits? If it’s just about being completist, offer them separately somewhere. They really drag down the flow for the listener.

Are we really going to have this conversation again for Sign O The Times, like we did for 1999?

They are ALWAYS going to include a disc of single edits/Remixes/B-Sides. As they should.

It's a Super Deluxe Version, and those singles etc, often unique in their edits and mixes, belong here. It's ALWAYS going to be the case.

The sets would be incomplete without them. You don't like them, skip that disc if you don't want to interrupt the 'flow'.... but this isn't really worth discussing. The edits disc is a thing.

I do not want to see: the Movie, I do not want to see the albums that lead up to SIGN... or the BA. I do not want the edits either but it seems to be the case....


I want the songs that are unreleased or alternative takes. i want a convert audio and a concert video (NOT THE MOVIE).

Is it so bloody hard to read the credits of the movie? Or read the threads when the German BD was announced?

The Prince estate had zilch to do with the movie being on Showtime.

Aw yes. You're on the rag today. My question was why not include the movie in the Super Deluxe?

So who owns the US rights to that if not the Estate?

That film isn't a WB property. I suppose a deal could be cut, but I'd take a concert video from the vault over another copy of the movie any day of the week.

the family hasl little if any real say.... the estate is in the hands of a trust they make most if not all of the decisions.

you don't have to apologize for the hooligan who's parading your tracklist around, but you do have to apologize for putting Black on a SOTT deluxe
