I think a box set of all the related releases in remastered form would be a great package...

Purple Rain

Ice Cream Castles

Appollonia 6

The Glamarous Life

Add 2 discs of vault items.

Live album done already but go ahead and thow on another...

great idea

For me essential thing for this release...demo versions of the album with the 1st take of WDC !

As far as I'm aware he did the song solo, so the first take would literally just be drums more than likely

I think he's referring to the earlier take that included bass.

Which ones ???

I think you know

can you please list these songs?

I just hope at least 'Traffic Jam' is included... I like that song!

...and the *full length* versions of The Beautiful 1s, Take Me With U, Darling Nikki, and 17 Days.

'Modernaire' as well... that *still* hasn't seen a proper retail release after 40 years (I wonder if Prince's version exists?)

Absolutely.

i would want the packaging to be nice, but not overstuffed like the endless pics in the SOTT set from the same shoots.

packaging is the second most important thing for me when it comes to these sets.

im not buying anything that is not as well designed as it could be.

the 1999 sde was better looking and conceptualised than the sott sde IMO.

As reported by MC Creary and M.Howe...this is much more than that!

Yes. WDC was totally overproduced with bass and synths....he took out more than the bass.

Dream set: Good remaster of original album, plus Jungle Love/The Bird/SS/Modernaire First Av. Live August 3, 1983 dvd Extended versions of singles by Prince Demos/Outtakes/alternative mixes (WDC with bass) Father's song movie version Remixes/alt. versions of singles by The Time, (Dez), Apollonia 6 Apollonia 6 full album Full live show by Prince incl. Sheila E. opening act dvd (not Syracuse) Purple Rain movie including alternative/deleted scenes Making of documentary incl. all Revolution members

This would be incredible. I happen to like the incidental music too by Michael Colombier. If that were on there that would be amazing too, but of course I'd rather have anything more Prince in this era...obviously...including the studio version of The Bird.

for this one, the essays should be limited to duane tudahl, andrew swenson and michelangelo matos.
