Great news and thank U4 the bulletin, christobole! I've been waiting for this kind of news. I still don't care about the deluxe PACKAGING, or the vinyl of this release, but I'm much more prone to buy it now in order to have that Blu-ray disc. Cheers!

Still too much for just the blu-ray, which is all I would want the set for. I'll still never understand why that blu-ray is exclusive to the set. They would have sold a ton of just the blu-ray.

We should buy the package now, since it's finally dropped down to a much more reasonable price. Even if ya don't care 4 everything but the Blu-ray there are additional valuable materials in the package. So gift that vinyl, CD, book and paper stuff. Help spread the word of Prince's legacy.

And yeah, it still woulda' been nice if we could have had the stand-alone option to purchase this to-date essential concert recording, but I guess we'll probably have to endure these marketing ploys for a while.

Greed and capitalism. They went rogue with the Japan import model, which is always about coughing up extra money for additional tracks.


The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days...

The package is also very nice! In my opinion 48 dollars is a really good price for this set. And you can decide to sell the package and lp's if you are only interested in the blu-ray. I think you can ask at least 30 dollars for it. Then it is still a good price!

It s a very good deal. Besides the blu ray and the CD, the booklet is, for once, very well done, with photos and the lyrics.
The vinyls sound good too, very clear, whereas the 2000's Prince album sounds like garbage to me on the vinyl reissues.

That's incredible. For this price it's literally given.
They could sell it for 30$, some orgers wouldn't have been interested anyway.
But don't worry, you won't have any reason to use your wallet soon for a Prince record anyway.

Insane price!
It's even cheaper than the 2 LP version (42$) .
It's now #229 on Amazon US.
They are clearly emptying their shipments.

$36.90--and I bought it. And if that's what it had been to begin with, I'd have bought the deluxe originally. I don't care about the vinyl, so in my mind I'm buying a CD and the Blu-Ray, for a bit more than makes sense. I've bought the deluxe at what for me is an acceptable price, on top of buying the CD alone for the standard price. Still better than buying at the original deluxe price, I guess.

People should take into account the booklet, the goodies, etc.
It's not just about " The vinyls ".
I agree 100$ was too expensive, 70$ would have been an honest price

I am a bit confused about the Amazon product page. It just says vinyls, nothing about a CD and a Bluray? I want to order it, but want to be sure the Bluray is included, it is my reason for buying.

Just wait until the price climbs again to 100$, and then you will know for sure what it was.

$70 CDN all-in to get one shipped here. Still too rich for my blood.

I hope the estate have learned something, here: freeze us out with over-expensive deluxe packages, and you'll just end up giving them away at bargain-basement prices.

Yeah, but it won't quite work like that. They only reach those low prices many, many years later. And even then, the products appear in their original form, not broken down into separate vinyl, cd, blu-ray deals. But I could be wrong.

Now I do remember seeing Emancipation 3 cd set for just £3 in a supermarket, and wanting to buy it for a homeless person. But in the end I got him a coffee instead, which cost nearly as much. Fuckin' capitalism. neutral
