So, as usual, you still want they include songs you already listened to ad nauseam instead of all brand"new" Material. And when the set is release, as usual, you will again complain about the fact you already knew too much songs. . Funny.

You're right....I would like a bunch of unheard and astonishing music I never would expect...not the whole mixes or boots I already have in good condition..I want to be surprised.

"Open Book" & "Get Blue" in pristine, mastered quality makes this set interesting to me but I would MUCH prefer "Parade" SDE as not only is it my favourite album/period but like another post said I want to be suprised by something new I am may hear, just like "Be's Like That Sometimes" & "Love & Sex" were for me on the SOTT SDE.

My thoughts too...

I don't get that either

We all should be hoping for unheard tracks since we already have the album. Plus this one doesn't need any remaster ?

Maybe we'll get both D&P and Parade Super Deluxe, since they both celebrate their 30th and 35th anniversary next year. And while we're at it... a Controversy Super Deluxe would fit in as well!

We definitely need "Work That Fat" in perfect condition on the vault disc(s). I play that for people who have no idea who it is. Then when they listen back the second time they can actually hear Prince using his regular voice in the background.

it may include songs such as 'Open Book','Get Blue' and others, since I'm guessing they'll include sessions from 1990.

"Open Book" love that song!

Not sure exactly when to draw the line but here we have a record explicitely mastered for the CD technology (as opposed to a cheap CD transfer as with older records), so IDK whether there's a point in remastering albums from the 90's onwards.

I remember once seeing a 1998 remaster of a 1996 Sting album, as part of a series of Sting remasters. Was there such an improvement in technology between 1996 and 1998 that justified a remaster? I doubt it. Same with Kate Bush remastering both her 2011 albums in 2018: what could possibly be done in 2018 that couldn't in 2011?

So IDK, in 1991 CD technology was nearly a decade old. The only reasons I can think of for remastering albums from 1991 onwards would maybe be either to "de-loudness war" them in case the original intent was to be louder at the cost of quality, or to have an engineer who's better qualified than the original engineer do it (for example, Bernie Grundman may be better at the job than most people).

I'd ageree D&P does not require a remaster as bad as many of the 80s stuff did (especially SOTT) but i'm positive more can be squeezed out of the master tapes. Those in charge of SOTT definitely knew what they were doing and I have very high hopes that they'll continue to do this work on future releases.

BTW...I would really like Parade....which would blast me....but...I made peace with these both albums I didn't like in former years...D&P and the O)+ album

Technology has progressed close to three decades since D&P, so perhaps with a good engineer we can enjoy even better mastering....

Hopefully this reissue of the iconic Tony M album is bundled with a few bonus Prince tracks.

I do love the sarcasm.

...Pass. I'll stream it I guess. But I'm not buying Diamonds & Pearls.

Good catch! I forgot it because it was only released in Feb 1994 (incidentally, the same day as TMBGITW), long after the D&P era. But since it was recorded 4 days after D&P's release and had virtually nothing to do with what was going on in early 1994, I guess it makes more sense to include it with D&P, yes.

Yes, please give us a SDE from the 90s next!

Why?

Why not a strictly chronological pass over the albums?

Because of money.

They do not do it for the music.

Work that Fat? Yuck! A much more annoying and much less funky update of Movie Star/Bob George.

Hell naw! I won't spend one penny on anything past the 1980s.
