I swear to god, there should be a fucking reality show that traps about 8 to 10 posters I can think of here in a house or on a desert island. That way, I could not watch it, they eat each other alive, I wouldn't have to be subjected to them and they could get the fame and attention they crave.

Call it "We Gets Up-set"

I'm sure a show based on overly critical, know-it-all and obsessive Prince fanatics (yes I used that word) would get the green light at some d-level network. They put any old crap on TV these days and pass it off as "reality" so why not that?

it would just be a bunch of old white women sitting around in lingery getting drunk, singing prince tunes all day wearing their faded prince tattoos like badges of honour. and bart, correcting them on everything from prince facts to the way they handle the fucking silverwear.

yeah, i guess it could be fun.

people could leave the house in a dramatic scene and re-enter the house 2 days later using a new name, wearing a wig and glasses lol

I think the estate screwed up big time by not making a cd/bluray combo pack available. I am leaning towards not purchasing the deluxe edition and just buying the cd for $12.99.that is a pity because I would be willing to spend $50 for the combo pack.
I have supported the estate since the "prince 4ever" set and also bought the deluxe for 1999 and SOTT..

I agree...they should make DVD and blue ray available

I spent $175(something?) for SOTT Super Deluxe. No complaint
But I am not willing to pay $100 for this deluxe set.
The vinyl would just collect dust, so would the video after a few plays.

Now they could easily squeeze $50 out of me for the Cd and Bluray alone. Though that's a bit pricey :lol:

I'm going for the CD alone. I will be fine with no video

Maybe it was the album cover leak that made them move up announcement making street date so damn far away. It's also not inconceivable they asked 60 Minutes to air the episode ahead of schedule.

Am I the only one who thinks 3 months is a pretty normal wait? We waited longer for Prince's own releases. Weren't the SDEs of a similar wait?

I think nowadays it is normal. Most sales will be pre-releases, so they can gauge demand and somewhat make to order. Seems a sensible approach rather than guessing how much of each format to make. Also gives them time to market things and get key players in the production airtime. Most of the interviews with people like Morris and Shelby will be done by release day. Same thing happened with SOTT deluxe. Things have changed since the 80s, when Purple Rain spent a year in the charts after release, unless some peculiar or spectacular circumstances.
There may or may not be something coming!

My thoughts exactly!

I kinda think folks here are so eager to consume because it's kind of a release that engenders a cautious hopefulness and they want to be on to the next release sooner until we come across the ones they're waiting for.

The estate should do a surprise drop kill (or whatever it's called).

Drop an album at some moint instantly!

Without any announcements.

Just drop something like "BAM".

Be modern and dare something new!...

...you bunch of slow conservative holding-on-to-old-Prince-misteries Estate f*ckers.

.

They do not reach their peak monetization currently, and even they will fear for that if they would be forced to follow your advice.

.

.

That is not what they are.

They are the music and media 'experts'.

.

...you bunch of slow conservative holding-on-to-old-Prince-misteries Estate f*ckers.

.

Exactly!

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.

I'm hoping for something we have not heard in it's entirety, Maybe one of the tracks we had a sneak peak of e.g. Born 2 Die or Check The Record

My bet is they will release 2 more singles, but all 1 month from each other, so Welcome 2 America came out April 8th, probably next ones are going to be early May (Check the Record?) and early June (Born 2 Die? to coincide with June 7th?). Of course these are only hypotheses and based on the only 2 tracks that were heard in 60 Minutes.

Not sure if this will actually be the fact, but the UK Amazon listing for the CD has "Jewel Box" in the listing

So for all those completists out there (and those that prefer Jewel Case releases) you may wanna keep an eye on this

Is the blu-Ray missing “When We Are Dancing Close And So”?


http://princevault.com/in...April_2011 states that this song was at the start, Prince playing guitar, guesting with Cassandra Wilson. But it doesn’t appear on the track list for the blu-ray
There may or may not be something coming!
