Single aint really a song. More like some sounds and singing. Good left wing lyrics. I told you all Prince was on my team.

Well, that was ten years ago. The full scope of Obama's presidency and current "team" moves, have left many re-considering their positions. Too bad Prince can't speak for himself in 2021 - MSM, record company & estate will milk this album for its supposed context regardless.

there is Baltimore vibe on W²A..it's right..same kind of prod. but in a more destructured vein & more relax!

I like it, but the live version was even better, harder, funkier....

Pre-ordered the box set from Amazon and ordered the single from the official store.

“We will not raise your taxes” Hits too close to home lmao welcome 2 America

Too bad "Read our lips" is a paraphrase from George H.W. Bush in 1988.

I just checked the Prince store and found out the double LP has only three sides! What a waste! Also, I don't own a blu-ray player, so there's no point in buying the deluxe version. And the set list of the concert doesn't look very interesting: greatest hits and covers. I hope there will be a single CD version.

$11.98:

So glad that they are not releasing the disc as a DVD (fingers crossed this blu-ray format is real). It's 2021, and people have 4K TVs, there is no reason DVD's should even be a thing.

Keep refreshing amazon.co.uk waiting for a pre order link

Looks great, cant wait to devour it. Love the Welcome 2 America track released today

I think a lot more people are more moderate than we think. Whatever you believe, the real problem is in Washington DC and the media. Politicians lie and placate anyone they’re talking to. The media constantly gaslights us to turn on each other. But we have a lot more in common than being distracted by the bogeymen the media creates.

I believe all your points are true. It is my experience as well, that people tend to be much more moderate, considered. But I have also noticed many of my friends turning away from the "Left" (another media / power-elite creation) in horror, and realizing they have been gaslit - especially over the past twelve months. Are there forces amongst the rulers of this world, that do not have manipulatioin & indoctrination in mind for us? Who can say? But I'll say this: the kind of re-writing of history and instrumentalizing of Prince and his oeuvre for some social-engineering experiments (remember that review of Sign last year with the headline "This is all blackness"), would have Prince turning in his grave.

I pray the rest of the album isnt ramble prince. Can only take rambleprince in small doses.

The War is half an hour of him rambling and I love that one!

Seems Target will sell a clear vinyl edition...

I'm listening to it now. And yes, it is the greatest album of all time.

I’m scandalously unfamiliar with Welcome 2 America!!! What can I expect?? Prince recorded and teased Welcome 2 America during the absolute nadir of my Prince fandom. I am almost entirely unfamiliar with it or it’s songs. What’s it like?? Is it truly excellent and one of his best??

imagine if bob dylan had recorded blood on the tracks and then decided not to release it, putting out desire in its place.

that's the level we may be dealing with here.
