Where's the link??? No linkie no threadie

Zero chance

EDIT

I do think we will get a Parade SD next (of the SD not necessarly the next release)

I do think we will get another Purple Rain set...

I do not think we will get GB or Batman...SD ever.

After Parade and other than PR I doubt we will get more that 2 more SD sets.

Ah, screw this thread, man!!!!

WILD conjecture and wishing, based on nothing!

Not even sensible speculation.

LOCK LOCK LOCK

Remember when ROD said in 2014 Prince would never be on the Billboard 200 ever again

I do! I believe he also said that the poor sales of AOA would be the end of physical Prince releases, and he has more than once declared that we wouldn’t see any more reissues due to his own sense of what sales should be. Dude is fucking clueless.

Except the hit and run releases hardly made the top 100. I couldn't predict Prince s death, I m sorry, . Prince alive, his sales would have been worst and worst, every body knows it...Hit and run 2 didn't make the top 200 until his death. . In 2014 Billboard changed the rules with the streaming, preventing old artists such as Prince to hit the first positions, even if they hit it on sales. . So I was right, Prince alive couldn't make the Billboard 200, it was a bold and shocking statement that proved to be true. . And now none even one of the Sony reissues made the top 200

So the hitnrun releases made the top 100 when he was alive yet you just said Prince alive can't make the billboard 200...

Rod also said both the 1999 SDE and SOTT SDE don't have much remarkable material on them.

He also said due to the dissapointing sales of PR Deluxe there would not be a 1999 Deluxe...

He says a lot, when he gets called out for being wrong or misleading he starts throwing a tantrum, calling people names, etc..

Lol he barely made the top 100, and that was a great achievement for you? Great. He had two top ten albums the year before, can't you see a slight difference? And the next one didn't make the top 200. . And no other new Prince release s would have made the top 200, him alive. . So when I made this bold assertion to shock everyone here and make the orgers conscious of the new Billboard rules, nobody here and surely not you could have imagined I was so close to the truth. . Now that he s dead, the estate doesn't care about releasing HNR3 or recent material,only the 80's stuff. I wonder why...

But he DID make the TOP 100.

You said he wouldn't make Billboard 200.

So you were WRONG.

Get a life

So you were wrong once again, and everytime someone points out your false statements and predictions you end up getting defensive and throw insults.

Streaming being added to the Billboard 200 definitely would have hurt Prince were he still alive. BUT...older artists get high first week positions, sometimes even hitting number one, thanks to album bundles where they tie sales of their new albums to concert tickets (similar to what Prince did with "Musicology"). That's how Kenny Chesney recently edged Drake's 'Dark Lane Demo Tapes' out of the top spot. Were Prince still alive he would still be touring, and if he were so inclined to do a bundle he would regularly be hitting the top ten still (even if the album would plunge in its second week).

Hi OnlyNDaUSA,


I wouldn’t be so sure about Graffiti Bridge. I have a hunch WB have plans for GB at some point.
Note how the ‘86 versions of ‘Girl O’ My Dreams’, ‘Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got’ and ‘We Can Funk’ were not included on SOTT, despite these being recorded in the same era. As was the unsegued ‘Joy in Repetition’.

Also the Graffiti Bridge project does have one major outtake that I’m convinced would make a Super Deluxe highly sought after. ‘The Grand Progression’. It would also be a good opportunity to bundle in a concert recording of the Nude Tour.

I remember reading a post on here from Neversin a while back (which I’ll have to paraphrase as I can’t find the exact post), where he mentioned that GB had a fascinating development and the depth of material recorded is deeper than we all realise. (I’m pretty I’m remembering that correctly, although he’s welcome to correct me if I’m wrong.)

Had Warner Brothers retained the rights to publish all of the pre ‘95 albums then I’m sure a Graffiti Bridge Super Deluxe wouldn’t have been a high priority at all. But given the limited options they have now, I reckon they’ll seriously consider some sort of expanded Graffiti Bridge release, be it a fully fledged Super Deluxe or not.

As for a Batman Super Deluxe? Not impossible, but far less likely.

For a start, there were next to no live performances between Lovesexy and the Nude Tour, so that’s the live discs made redundant.

Also, Batman was a very quick project that borrowed heavily from other interesting projects he had going for him at the time (ie Rave ‘89 and the songs he wrote as gifts for Anna Fantastic).

Personally I would love to see an album released that showcases what Prince was recording during this time, but from a marketing point of view it would probably be for the best to avoid the Batman branding. Include songs like ‘Dance With The Devil’ by all means, but it doesn’t strictly need to be a Batman album.

STILL Prince(r.i.p.) made FAR much more money after he left WBR as an independent artist & transitioned with $50 million left in cash. Which is all that really counts.

Completely agree with every word of this. And as much as I dislike GB, I think this could be a really must-have set for the bonus content alone.

I'm kind of surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet. Maybe it's being allowed to continue purely for the comedy value?
