Yeah still talking about slavery in modern day (2010) America. There's still racism hell yes (Trumpism made that loud and clear) but we (Americans) live like fat kings compared to most of the world for crying out loud. I hope he's not talking about artistic slavery again because he signed a 100 million dollar recording contract and didn't get to release 50 albums a month. Shit, I need to stop. It's reminding me why I got turned off by the man. lol | |

Yeah when you put it that way. $12 for a new Prince album? I would've paid $100 in 1988. I'll buy it, listen to it a few times like most of his modern day albums, save a few tracks as waves and donate it to Goodwill. I don't like clutter. [Edited 4/9/21 17:17pm] | |

I think I must be missing the point but why does the estate do "deluxe" versions that merely add the same album in a different format? It the worst case scenario where you could only get a booklet if you paid the deluxe price? Seems really strange. I've never bought a vinyl set and thought, hmmm, I need CDs too. | |

It's #3 and #5 on Amazon. And the price on the deluxe is up to $100
Sony really couldn't give us a CD/Blu for $20-25. So silly | |

Yeah I’m not going to be exploited , will wait for the eventual cd/dvd release. This album is just one long b-side if the title track & hot summer are any indication . And I agree with the poster who said he/she wasn’t purchasing a dvd with a let’s go crazy, LRC, dominant set list again. | |

If they really wanted to create a buzz they would of released the LA Troubador shows he played during this LA stint, paired with the main Forum show it would of blown the doors off. | |

Absurd pricing if they show pricing at all: https://www.bol.com/nl/p/...034442375/ Why would I need to buy vinyl?

. Scanning issues or similar. But also a non-jewelcase release if this is the info to go from. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Indeed, that's what's stopping me to get the SE. I'm curious enough to get the new album despite the fact that it will not likely be really my thing. But the extra is a live DVD of one of the standard Best Of concerts. They are fun to be at but for the fans there's little or no surprises there. I think they are really aiming for those who went to the concert and don't necessarilly have any other live recording laying around. For a cool aftershow I might be tempted to get the whole set.

True, but tge welcome 2 America tour was almost a copy past of the 2010-2011 concerts in Europe so it doesn't hold that many surprises in the end. I have the recording of the Viage preshow which is the most fun for me. It's loose but plays around with the same setlist. The HQ-er formerly known as krokostimpy. | |

I wonder what that'd mean for us living in the UK, with import taxes and handling fees... | |

You should understand that in a song that lasts 5 minutes the lyrics have to be simple. | |

BIZARRE Choice for a live gig! - undersold tix of c15k [!], not a stellar set-list & NOT his best performance. If you want to see a great gig from W2A go check out opening night in New Jersey, really well done audience shot etc, stellar set list etc.

- Exactly. Actually the idea of 'including / giving away' a CD version with a vinyl dates from some years ago right when vinyl was on it's retour. Most acts don't do it anymore. Hell, they might even throw in a cassette version. Same useless effect. Anyways. I personally don't understand why A DELUXE EDITION needs to be 'filled' up with useless VIP pass, Backstage pass, poster, postcard, photo, concert ticket (really?!) etc. These are things so easy to publish on a website to download. Even a 32 page photo book (I'm sure) that only will include lyrics (maybe) and/or some small foreword by probably Mr. Hayes of Shelby, or whomever. I don't need all these 'cards and passes'. Don't get me wrong, a god book with worth while information, yes. Photobook? Naaaah. - I like vinyl. Looking forward for the single release. Only wished they started the first idea, of releasing an unreleased studio song as a B-side. One of the things that made Prince so great in his early years. B-sides. We all went wild for it. The 'Dreamer' live version of 3 or 4 or so years later... is OK, but could be a better choice. And hell, why not an extra Maxi-single with the same treatments as before ? That would be original again. -

Remember Prince used to make us jump through hoops just to get whatever release he had at the time? I mean, the website issues with Crystal Ball, the mystery behind The Gold Experience, the DRM problems with the NPG Music Club singles, and the 20Ten UK-only release alone should be enough for us to know what to expect from this man's world. | |

I have mixed feeling towards this release…
4) The deluxe set doesn’t even include the audio for the live show. It might have helped sweeten the deal if they included an extra CD or maybe a download code for that. Are they going to wait and sell it to us later like they did with ‘Prince And The Revolution: Live’.

. Amazon.fr sells the full SD thing express shipped to the Netherlands for circa €90. . Maybe do a small trip to France that coincides with the releease? .
. Soundbored audio might be available on b00tleg. Perhaps also there are certain rules that prevent Sony from doing the full SDE thing with whatever they release?
