This is a leak, nothing has been officially announced, so we may still be getting a SDE.

Like the other SDE release, they too had standard version of those albums released. So let's wait for an official announcement. One thing I can guarentee though, we will get more merch options.

Them Gangster Glam mankini's will fly out

If they're moving forward with combining D&P and Love Symbol that's a monumentally fucking stupid decision and I was so happy the previous administrations combined release was cancelled but it appears it's back on the table which is just... disheartening.

Combining these two into one SDE is not only disrespectful to the concepts of both records, but it also means less material from either in order to accomodate both. Just ridiculous.

IF TRUE, well it would clearly mean no SDE...

So hope it's nothing official.

Nothing appears that way. It's pictures with no context and then Orgers being Orgers. [Edited 3/7/23 8:02am]

If they're reissuing both D&P and Symbol at the same time and there are rumors of some sort of SDE release being on the table for this summer, I would assume they are part of a larger package that ties the two together.

Yes seperate releases but on the same day would be best,

But I gotta disagree, to me these 2 albums do go together extremely well

.....

• They are the only 2 Albums to feature the Original full NPG line up (sans Rosie on Symbol)
• The Symbol album was promoted on the D&P tour
• Songs from Symbol were played on the D&P tour (Damn U, Sexy MF, The Flow)
• They were released in sucession 1 year apart

The only downside I can see would be if that there was indeed less material because of the combination, although that may also be another reason for the combination as Michael Bland stated that there was not masses of unrleased stuff from that particular era to the best of his knowledge as we all know some tracks are all Prince e.g. Thunder etc

.....

Release just the main albums on vinyl and all the extra's on CD only and they can put as much as they like on to the set

....just my 2 cents

We need Dirty mind remastered.

I want an ACT 1 soundboard! (don't need no remixes)

I’m hoping for a SDE packaged w/ a glam slam Blu Ray from that 92 show played at Paisley last yr & also another blu ray document from the 93’ Act 2 tour .

Yes, yes

This. So much this.

There has never been an album that scream out so much for a remaster than DIRTY MIND.

I would give a kidney for a SDE version of this album. I am not kidding.

Still no hologram on the vinyl of D&P. If memory serves me correct, that was just on earlier editions of the CD and vinyl (quite a lot of them mind, so they aren’t rare).

The hologram was only available on the cd version. All the original versions of the vinyl were the blue cover.

LMAO. These albums are already being sold on eBay. If these get into collectors' hands before the Estate can even manage to announce this release, it would be hilarious.

Same ole Bort.

I agree.I keep hoping that this album will finally get the remastered SDE treatment that it deserves.

What is the actual "remastering" going on with the issues? Is there NEW VINYL or NEW ALBUM COVERS? Somebody please find out the deal here. Can you imagine all the vinyl albums that were maybe just sitting around like promo copies without a proper sleeve for them? Or did the record making vinyl machine break and they finally got it fixed?

To be more serious, I guess it's a good thing those albums are finally being remastered, although they sound perfectly fine to my 45-year-old ears with tinnitus.

I got ya.

I like the blue cover a lot more than the hologram. Especially the rest of the art
being rust coloured on the hologram one is not nearly as nice to me as the blue.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO not excited.
