A subscription service where we can possibly download music?? Only about five years too late. Anyone with a brain has been requesting this from the start [Edited 3/8/22 11:20am]

Way more than 5 years late. Prince was onto something with the NPGMC 20 years ago. People were eager for a "Vault" subscription service way back then!

Rights were in the way.

. Nice and all, but I rather as soon as possible have Super Deluxe cd editions for Around The World in a Day, Parade and Lovesexy. If that will still happen at all... Who agrees? .

If that also includes vinyl versions of those SDE's I totally agree. SDE the fuck out of the golden decade first, then move on to SDE's from the 90's and so forth.

Let's hope this will be affordable and worth it.

Really ?

No 'wow' from me tbh.

This sounds exactly like unreliable politicians who are trying to convince and promise you a lot.

It sounds verrrrrrrry expensive.

In this text, they say over 16 times exaxtly the same in different words.

In fact you can sum it up in six points.

You pay for (early access to) (and the use of) :

1. Music,

2. Video/film,

3. museum,

4. live performance,

5. various IT facitites,

6. Shop stuff (mug, t-shirt, poster, etc).

They forgot to tell that use of toilet is free and toilet paper too.

(didn't read much 'free' in there tbh.)

Expect a high price; a few hundreds of dollars maybe ?.

Let's hope i'm dead wrong.

It looks like the text for the filing of 'Prince Vault' is a generic catch all. However, the filings for 'Club Paisley' and 'The Immersive Experience' are very specific.

If I was to guess, I would say the latter two are 'Plan A'.

It doesn't necessarily mean something is going to happen anytime soon : https://uspto.report/comp...prises-Inc Look at the previous pages. NPG Music Club has just been refreshed but it's there since 2018.

Couple of interesting things there that obviously never came to fruition prior to his passing, anyone know anything about "amarna vision", "&y" or "new world records"?

[Edited 3/9/22 10:45am]

Anyone?

So now that we know what "The Immersive Experience" is and why it was trademarked, does this mean we MAY find out what "Club Paisley" is sooner than later?

I think Club Paisley is the "Subscription-based online retail store" description.

Could have come up with a better name. Puts me in mind of Club Penguin.

But I'll take it.

Thats my guess. Wouldn't surprise me if it's announced on April 21st or June 7th.
