id just like demos /alt takes of the album tracks.

some GOOD unreleased sessions from the album.

some good live audio, though idk if i want a full show, as idk how special that would sound these days (but maybe its great).

thats about it.

it wont be here until autumn at the earliest though.

I wonder is the best unreleased Prince track I ever heard. One of Prince songs I most listened to these last years. It could have been a huge hit on D&P.

Agree on I Wonder. I really hope this deluxe comes off and it's on there with plenty of other out-takes that we haven't got. There's lots of possibilites for this...there must be tracks he done with Rosie and Tony and do they include the Martika tracks

.

And there will be a shit load of video they could use... All left overs from the D&P video collection; as well as the concert footage there is the rehearsal stuff the director Scott McCullough shared clips of in the last couple of years

Judging from the paucity of responses to this post, I’d say this purported release is going to fall like a dud from the sky.

I have never encounterd this word "paucity".

Who said Prince.org wasn't good for anything?

for the record the earlier version of horny pony makes the released version look like total shit let's be real

My wishlist is for better configurations.

- Have a cheap version of the album, from the vault disc and blu. This should be $40 or under.
- Have a super deluxe version of the album, b-sides/from the vault discs, soundboard concert (preferably an aftershow), blu, download card of the audio from the blu. This should be $150 or under.

- Do a standalone digital release of just single edits and remixes and other crap only the hardcore care about so they don't take up space or inflate the price. The Beach Boys did this for material that didn't fit the release or live shows that were too similar in content. They released a killer Sunshine Tomorrow physical set for the mainstream, then Sunshine Tomorrow 2: The Studio Sessions digitally for the people that wanted more then Live Sunshine digitally that had 5 full concerts.

- Do an ultimate edition for the people with more money than sense. Everything above (including loseless download card for the digital releases), vinyl, stupid trinkets. Limited pressing. $250-$300.

Would love to hear more songs he did with Rosie, they compliment each others voices so well.

I'd love for a remastered Earl's Court DVD, it's one of my favorite concerts if not for Theives In the Temple/IT and just the sheer production value. I also really dig the Cream/Chain of Fools mashup he does as an encore.

Didn't he first record A 1,000 Hugs and Kisses with Rosie on the Aus leg of the D&P tour? Or does that mean it would sit in the Symbol SDE?

I'd love to hear more Rosie stuff too, anything from that early-mid 90s lineup.

I am so looking forward to this. Want to have ”I wonder” in top quality.

I don't know if I'd like a finished version as much as the demo though.

Gett Off Damn Near 10 Min better be on there.

I guess I'm curious about some of the I'll Do Anything songs?

promo for w2a so boring that the megathread locked

i was excited for w2a but they totally killed that by making me wait 3+ months, ridiculous that we're having to sit through this much downtime.

bring on diamondz

For it not to be released. D&P is a shit album.

Really? That's a WEAK comment. D&P is one of Prince's finest.

The Kylie Minogue track "Baby doll" + outtakes from the Gold Nigga sessions.

I wonder if Grafitti Bridge outtakes will be considered.

Acapella version of long version of Jughead.

well I guess if it is still to be released in 2021, there will only be a maximum wait of 5 months for us,
after the release of W2A.

plus they will want to release it at least a few weeks before xmas so let's say a 4 month wait.

still a long time, but I feel like we've been waiting on W2A for longer than we waited for The Gold Experience to finally be released

I just hope there is something else, bigger and more profound down the pipeline and they are gearing up to release several albums or projects in conjunction with one another in 2022.

at the very least I am keeping my fingers crossed for Parade SDE. that needs to happen.

Gangster Glam remixes, in full Dobly Atmos.

.

I would love to own Golg N*gga again! I had it back in the day.

Excited about D+P since it was my first P album. Great outtakes too like "Player," "Open Book," and "Schoolyard."

"Gangster Glam" mixes would be great!

i'm not a metallica fan, but seeing the tracklist on this new deluxe of their album makes all the p estate releases look like bullshit tbh. when will they get their act together?

It does? What specifically do you prefer? Looks pretty similar to the W2A deluxe set to me. To answer the OP’s question: my one wish would be for them to skip Diamonds & Pearls altogether.

maybe you were looking at one of the scaled back versions, take a look at this one

Your wish list for the rumored Diamonds and Pearls special deluxe?

Vinyl will take forever due to pressing plant demand these days, esp if itS a massive 20 piece set. I will def not buy this on vinyl, that much I know.

You could just by the original album remastered on vinyl when they release the deluxe. Instead of all the extras.
