IM LAZY: How does this compare to 1999 SDE? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
Better. I forget the exact final numbers but Rolling Stone said 1999 SDE did 12k. It re-entered the Billboard 200 at #45 (and that was with 14 Christmas albums ahead of it). So 1999 and SOTT were similar but SOTT did better, which is great considering it cost quite a bit more and is a less popular album. I think it was also easier to get...it took me nearly a week to get a copy of 1999 Super Deluxe. [Edited 10/2/20 18:58pm] [Edited 10/2/20 23:12pm] | |

Let's hope this equates to signalling to the Estate/Record Companies, that the more outtakes, the merrier. Bring it on, Parade Super Deluxe - 4 CDs of outtakes... [Edited 10/2/20 19:21pm] | |

When I heard this, I was surprised given that 1999 was much moe commercially successful than SOTT on their respective original releases. Then I realized that it is the super fans that are buying the deluxe editions, and among that group SOTT has ever bit the regard as 1999 if not more so. In any case, I am please that the success of this release may lead to further deluxe releases. of similar quality. | |

From Duane Tudahl (last interview in french magazine Funku) «Of course, I can't reveal the content of the next project, but the Prince Estate is working on something unexpected, surprising, profound and very complete. Prince has recorded so much music, and I think we'll be talking about these reissues for the next twenty or thirty years, if not more.» Any guesses ? | |

Beside English speaking countries, 1999 the album and the singles are totally unknown. | |

SOTT originally peaked at #17 in Germany. The only other best peak position of Prince in this country was Batman, peaking at #3 too. This new peak is really impressive. | ||

Not that I'd be much interested in something like this - but perhaps a collection of songs from his last year in the studio? That'd be somewhat unexpected. | |

Glad its doing well It should do, considering how many formats it's on! | |

Maybe even earlier??? Perhaps the recent leak of "Neurotic Lover's Bedroom" is an indication that some early recordings are coming. "Nightingale" Remaster anyone? Ha ha okay those home recordings are never going to sound amazing but if there's a batch of songs at least as good sonically as "Neurotic Lover's Bedroom" (like "Make It Through The Storm" and "We Can Work It Out") then that would be surprsing and profound for sure. | |

wow. forgive my ignorance but is that for the big box set deluxe or just the regular remastered CD & B-sides package?
If it's for the big deluxe set those are exceptional figures - especially if the European chart figures quoted on this thread are for the big deluxe set too. It should give the estate huge confidence going forwards.

You can't compare record sales in the 1980ies with todays market situation. Back then you had to sell MANY more records to enter the top 10 than nowadays. I wouldn't be surprised if the album sold better in the week were it peaked at #17 than last week. [Edited 10/5/20 15:21pm] | |
