everyone's daily reminder that the lack of CB98 tracks on SOTT SDE is a good thing because it would've come at the expense of actually interesting and new stuff. i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw people asking for the set to have "every dream factory config" like omg do you want everything we already have over and over

boom

And I'm just discovering this thread today, two weeks later, because I automatically tune out all those stickies... lol

.

I'm really happy that they chose to release stuff from the 90s/10s. It is long overdue.

Unfortunately I don’t think it is happening. At least not as they say. For an April release they’d have had to had the announcement for CB several weeks ago.

The earliest we can expect a release now is Late May or June
Probably means one of the 3 will not happen.

Indeed, like I said, since, Piano and Mic83, the release date was always at least three months before official statement.
And before that, we always had leaks of preorder.

It is especially important for such a big release as CB ( surely a 5 vinyl release) when they have, to readjust their orders.
I also think one of the project will be skipped, surely Crystal Ball, that was originally due, to November of last year.

Like I said, there was always preorders link days before any official announcement.
So, still nothing to come for this week.

Yeah I'm not sure there will be any CB at this point. But it's ok, W2A and D&P SDE are more important.

The ONA wave last year had disappointing sales.

I think Sony is trying to clear the rights for Kamasutra, to include it in the boxset.
Otherwise, they know they would be criticized.

It s not their fault.
But they should have been more realistic.
The estate is always changing their plans since Prince' death.
Remember they skipped 1999 deluxe for Piano and Mic, then skipped it again for Originals.
Then Originals 2 was cancelled, Parade deluxe was cancelled for D&P.

Now, since the reaction of the fans here, it is likely D&P SDE will be skipped for something else, and that Sony obviously gave up physical re releases, like I said months ago.

CB was scheduled for November, to be complementary of SOTT.
Covid or not, that's not what prevented other labels to release others albums or special editions.

If there was a legal problem with CB ( Kamasutra, tracks recorded under WB), then they could have released for months unreleased albums such as C-Note, Chocolate thing, Xpectation, etc.

Remember the best selling release was Versace Experience, because it was unreleased.

I doubt any company makes a decisions based on a half dozen people here saying they don't want it. There are also been people, like myself, who are very much looking forard to a D&P SDE.

RIP sad

What do you mean by it isn't envisaged? You mean they still want to release it? No shit. Obviously Rod is nuts. Fan response on the org doesn't dictate shit.

maybe they just flipped WELCOME 2 AMERICA and CRYSTAL BALL REISSUE?

so W2A come out first, maybe april 21st? although, that is very short notice now. maybe we get the announcement for it on april 21st and then they release it around his birthday in june?

D&P was always going to be later in the year anyway so no changes there.

Nuts yourself you punk, I created a topic about Sony reissues being cancelled for this year in January, and for the moment it seems I was right.

People told I was crazy, it was just January...
Well, we are mid-march, and still nothing announced. But I m still nuts, obviously.
.
Concerning D&P, WB used to skip his SDE all the time, this is no fan fiction.

When SOTT SDE was released in September I was talking with the owner of the local record store who is a huge Prince fan.

Everything that has been mentioned here he told me about that day but he said Kamasutra would be a record store day album.

In what world would Kamasutra be a sensible record day release?? His ex-wifes shitty '90s sounding instrumental album? The Truth or The War would make way more sense.
