Looking at the forthcoming Queen "The Miracle" Super Deluxe

Do people here agree that this is the way the Prince Estate should be going....

Vinyl for the main album

Cd's for the remixes and additional content

DVD & Blu-Ray for the video conten?

It would certainly help with the vinyl pressing issues

I don’t use cds at all. But I do have a vinyl obsession.

Digital would be best, then do an on-demand pressing when you reach certain amount of orders for vinyl, CD, 8-track, cassette, minidisc, wax cyllinder etc.

the remasters are trash .. noone should want any version of that .. they could easily make high quality complilations of the outtakes and sell individual small releases in every format .. take low quality curisoties like pnm 83 velvet kitty kat, our destiny and whatever else is mp3 sourced and put that on some digital download site .. this way we get new albums of unheard tunes in every format .. we get poor quality outtakes as digital downloads .. and they can rerelease whatever original albums on vinyl separately for collectors .. oh and live shows should have their own release as well .. eye like the SDE concept but the remasters are rubbish so that is a waste .. and the packaging is not very interesting so that is a waste .. and mixing lo fi with hi fi is silly when the public would eat up a quality outtakes release easier than sifting thru mixmash SDE

If quick, this “PRINCE IN HAWAII HAT BOX SET” can be picked from the online Prince store for “only” US $300.00.

“In addition to the captivating 142-page hardcover book of rare Prince images, the Prince in Hawaii Box Set includes the Hawaii 2003 tour book; a limited-edition Prince “Live in Hawaii” tour t-shirt; hand-dipped, custom-blended “Play in the Sunshine” incense; the rare “Controversy (Live in Hawaii)” CD single; an NPG Child poster, and purple flower petals.”

“…these sets are the original sets that were made in the early 2000's and are being sold as is. Limited to 1 unit per customer.”

The Hawaiian islands played a special role in Prince’s life. He would often travel there to enjoy vacations and downtime. When asked by The Honolulu Advertiser about his affinity for the islands, Prince said he liked the people there, “because nobody’s frontin’.”

That "Hawaii" package is all vintage stuff -- I can't wait to get that package. I imagine the purple hat box may be new but the contents not. What did he have, a warehouse full of purple hat boxes?

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

Shame the CD in the box isn’t a full concert. Instead it’s only 1 song, a live 6 minute version of “Controversy” from a show. $300 is a bit much for me for that, although they have been going for much more than that on the resale market, up to now!

I bought this set when it came out! Probably it didn't sell much back then since they still have a stock of it...

Dude, give it a rest. Your track record for inside knowledge has proven false again and again.

Yes, but that version was available for download before via the npgmusicclub or something. So we already have that one.

For fuck's sake... did Prince really decided to go with this ?

I mean "NPG Child poster, and purple flower petals" ...

How bad a taste can one take ?

Pffff, yeah right, it's all about the music.

Even if someone gave me that box for free, I would burn the fucker.

I fully agree with that.

-

To get back to the subject...

For a while (from end last year till now) i wasn't all that much interested in Prince news, more or less expecting no interesting news or releases anyways.

After the so called announced rumor for a D&P SDE, I left the idea of another nice SDE (like Parade or whatever pré-'90s).

I have no interest in D&P whatsoever, imh his worst attempt to commercial music after the great 80's era. Sure I respect those who were really looking forward to it.

-

Anyways, so, who is in charge now ?

Is Michael Howe gone?

Is Sharon Nelson in charge now ?

Sorry for asking, i don't know where to start again to search for more info...

Thanks anyways for an update.

Dark times for the fans.
It seems the good relationships between the estate guardians and the record companies is gone, and the new estate is messing with everything.
All plans put on hold… and the next big SDE now scaled right back to basics. sad
Fingers crossed it all works out in the end.
