Sheila didn't play in LA. They went down to LA to open for him and he let them go at the last minute which is why they had their last falling out. | |

Actually her family was supposed to open for Prince in San Jose and got bumped for Larry Graham. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

homesquid said: As streaming continues to grow and becomes the dominant way huamns listen to music these special edition box sets are going to be a specialty item. Get used to it. Physical product will increasingly become a limited collector's item. It's going to cost a good amount like any product that's rare. Keep in mind these sets will have value. Your MP3 collection has no value. nail/head | |

. Sure, from teh fan's perspective. But maybe more risky when looking at money, etc. The WB/Estate people are way conservative because of this factor. 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. | |

EmmaMcG said: I was going to either order the CD/Blu Ray edition from japan or ask a girl I know who lives there to send it over for me but in the end I just said "fuck it" and ordered the regular CD from Amazon UK, which because of some sort of tax fuckery comes to only 9.99 english pounds despite it being listed at 11.99 on the site. Now, I have to pay an additional 4 pound delivery fee to have it sent to Ireland but overall, that's still only 14 pound, which is reasonable for a new album. I would have gone as high as €30 for the CD/Blu Ray but that's the limit. Where they get off charging nearly 100 quid for a 12 track album and a bog standard concert on Blu Ray is beyond me.
There's no records shops in Ireland? I don't understand all this pre-ordering anyway. It's more than two months away and it's not like these items are going to be sold out on day 1. Spend your money at your local retailer, this Jeff Bezos guy doesn't need it, he's rich enough. PS: not directed to you personally, but I really don't like how these internet giants are pushing away local shops.

Would've been tempted by the 'gold' pressing but I rarely order from the US here in the UK, and the official store seems to have a spotty reputation for its handling of international orders? So bleh, I guess I'll hang back for a while and see what deals for the black/clear pressings come up closer to home. | |

I have heard a live version of 'check the record' which sounds awesome. It can be easily found. | |

[Edited 4/11/21 2:07am] There's Tower Records but with the way vaccines have been managed over here so far, there's no guarantee that it will even be open by the time the album is out. If it is open, I definitely won't have been vaccinated by then because it's being prioritized by age (older people first) and I'm 30 years old so I'll be waiting for a long time. Plus, I'm pregnant so I don't want to take any unnecessary risks of travelling miles away just to buy a Prince album. I suppose I could have ordered it from Tower but in truth, I didn't even think to check because their prices are generally insane. There are no other record shops here anymore that I can think of. HMV, Virgin/Zavvi, Golden Discs, Abbey Discs etc have all closed down in recent years. It's not that I'm in any particular hurry to get it day one. But pre-ordering it now means I can just forget about it and turn my attention to other, more pressing, things. | |

Spring and summer will hapen in Ireland, too. Infection numbers will go down. Also vaccinations will progress. Whether that is enough for the authorities to 'reopen' things in time.... .

Just looked on HMV and they now have it up for sale,. 149 for the deluxe 34 pound for the album on record. | |

Because then they would've had an album that was cobbled together, with anything 'thrown' on there, and people would be complaining about that.
It would've made the release a mess. This shouldn't be hard to figure out should it? | |

What a relief! | |

Also, it's the first release of a truly 'unreleased' / 'new' album from Prince in the 5 years since his death, (as opposed to SDEs, anthologies, etc.), and this doesn't warrant an article on the main page of prince.org.
Wow. | |

buy it from, amazon france, its 86 euros including postage. For the duluxe. It will be a few days after release though. Saying 4 august. | |

But the way he reworked LRC in this period was spellbinding. | |

Yep, this. Personally, I'm more shocked that there's so far been so little early '90s material issued or reissued (Love Symbol and Come vinyl reissues were apparently set to happen in '16, and were quietly cancelled... although I do have original pressings of those, I'd love to have immaculate new vinyl copies of them for 'normal' new vinyl prices).
But of course, I have zero divine right to have my particular tastes catered for by the Estate by any particular time, just like the "release absolutely everything from the '80s first before even thinking about the '90s" fans don't. | |

the sad truth of it is that for every 100 really knowledgeable and level-headed hardcore fans who are here for the talent and music, there's 1,000 more ditzy and casual fans that might see some stupid plastic ticket stub in this overpriced set and think "OMG I NEED IT" or just pay whatever for whatever because "i love prince so much!!!" [Edited 4/10/21 17:06pm] Agreed. They'd need to be selective based on a general observation of comments here. | |

I'm just curious if we're coming up on the part of the vault releases that we have yet to hear. | |

Tracklist "Welcome 2 America"
So, I've heard 5 of these songs in some version or other, possibly 6 if Yes is the old song from '85. It's probably not, though, as far as I'm aware. | |

How many people on the org missed out on owning copies of the 1999 SDE or SOTT SDE because they didn't preorder? | |
