guys he is PULLING YOUR LEG there will be no "roadhouse garden" release as there is no "roadhouse garden" album

I have it on good authority that the releases this year are to be crystal ball reissue (preorders open first week of march), welcome 2 america (announced late april with mid june release), and diamonds and pearls super deluxe edition due out in late october

That clown needs to be banned. Can't have idiots spreading false information like that.

maybe the people without a sense of humour should be the ones getting banned

Last time Sony made an announcement for a Prince release was rhe 4th February...of 2020.😱 And we had preorders link even before that. The ONA was eventually released mid-may. When I said there was obviously a problem with the Sony reissues. Nothing to come before at least end of june, as of now. 2021 will be great, my ass. [Edited 3/22/21 22:03pm]

RODSERLING we will be getting the WELCOME 2 AMERICA album, which will possibly be the best album of his career

isnt there tracks like When She Comes , And light years away which we have already heard on Hit and run 2 aswell. Check the Record too.

why dont they just put together some vault tracks and release it as a New Album. I guess they are waiting on what super deluxe albums there going to do release. And put the vault tracks on those!

guys why do you want michael howe to selectively pick prince songs and seperate them from the context they were originally recorded in and then market it as some new outtakes hodgepodge album when there are albums the man himself compiled and finished just sitting there?

RSD release. "The Truth" by @prince. Sony Legacy issue. June release. Official announcement release to follow at some point.

Safe to say the next Sony Legacy reissue will be "Crystal Ball" with "The Truth" being a stand alone release.

Who was wrong about this prediction? I need to know which orger to be mad at.

If Welcome 2 America is released this year, the same year as a new administration takes hold, the idea that the release is a political statement can't be ignored.

Very much looking forward to its release.

another rsd another bullshit release that shouldn't be wasted on rsd. so much cool stuff they could be doing with rsd releases and yet every year it's just a repackage of something that's already been released, of course drastically marked up in price too.

life's a crock of shit.

I love the Truth , and it deserves a proper release

+1

If they're gonna release The Truth on vinyl, I wish they'd use the real, Prince-approved, original cover(the one in black and white, that first appeared on Tidal) instead of the one Sony made-up when they rereleased it online. But I have very little hope

the cassette cover art (that was laying around at the 2001 Celebration) wasn't black and white but more brown and "hazy" with prince sideways looking to the camera.

I rememeber that cassette. It was an in-house promo that was only sent to a few journalists for review, IIRC, so it was never meant for release or widely distributed (despite a release being annonced, then cancelled, in 1997). And it's only known to exist in cassette format. Whether Steve Parke (I suppose it was him?) designed a CD version of that cover is something we'd have to ask him. It's the same picture as on the Sony reissue, so it could be that they used a proper cover from that time (though the CB font for the symbol makes me suspect probably not).

.

I was surprised when the B&W cover (from the same picture, BTW) ended-up on Tidal, and IDK if that cover was ever considered in 1997, but as far as I can tell that was the first time that a cover was given to the album 1/ on a proper release and 2/ in CD/LP format. That's why I would consider it the proper cover. Anyway, IDK what the problem is with the B&W cover, it's not like B&W is offensive or anything.

Just replying to be subscribed.

Might just stream D&P SDE. Guess it'll depend on how vital the dvd is. God knows, I only cracked open the SOTT book once, and that album means a lot more to me than D&P does...
