If they release two separate SDE's at the same time I will take away everything bad I have ever said about Sharon and Spicer and I will bow down to them eternally

.

For what? To manage to release something that was originally planned 18 months ago?

Better late than never... I think we're all happy of this excitation...

I wonder how much vault material would be included. Only a handful of songs spring to my mind.

LILpoundCAKE	that's one of the more interesting things about these later period reissues, to see what kind of material is in the vault that we know nothing about.

I'm hearing some (credible) rumors floating around about a possible combined Super Deluxe Edition of Diamonds and Pearls / coming soon. But I'm not going to post details here because nothing's been officially announced yet.

Oh please. Most sources have said it's canceled. A few that work in record stores says their list of stuff to come out has not been updated with the cancellation. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I'm glad they canceled a combined SDE of D&P / prince

. Both albums deserve their own SDE,especially D&P.

Today on Brandon Ousley's Instagram account he says this :

"So... a deluxe edition of Prince & The New Power Generation's Diamonds and Pearls is indeed coming''

Actually NOT excited at all.

In the first set of photos, the stickers simply say "remastered" and appear to be nothing more than the original albums.

In the second set of photos, D&P has a sticker that says "Deluxe Edition" and includes some b-sides and remixes.

We've not seen anything labeled "Super Deluxe Edition". Just because we've not seen it, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

1999 and SOTT had three-tiered releases (plain remasters, deluxe and super deluxe), so it's possible this one may as well. There are no guarantees since there are new people running the show, but I think there's a good chance it will happen.

I'm pointing this out because a number of people have posted complaining that there are no outtakes or concerts included. Based on the previous pattern, those wouldn't be on the deluxe edition -- they'd be on the super deluxe edition.

I never listened to these outtakes again, so just pop them up for an hour ago.

Man, they are bad, and i mean NOT GOOD AT ALL.

Prince's songwriting was at an absolute dissapointing level for me.

No wonder he did not release them.

Two cool inclusions on this 'deluxe':

"Gett Off (damn near 10 minutes)"

The original June 7th DJ promo 12" version.

"Willing And Able (video version)"

I always thought this re-recording had more punch to it.

Like most of you, i am very curious as to what else will be incluted on an evetual SUPER DELUXE???

Hopefully "Thunder Ballet", among others biggrin

I've not heard Small Bright Light, but I agree with you that the other outtakes aren't very impressive.

I agree. I love the video version of Willing & Able. I ripped the audio from the video, but the sound quality is terrible. I'll be happy to have a better copy.

You know how on SOTT SDE there were a few versions of tunes that we thought we’d heard before on bootleg but then the released version was my full, e.g. Coco Boys -> Cocoa Boys (and I’m not talking about the added a to coco), maybe things like Schoolyard and Something Funky This House Comes if/when released will be more ‘finished’. May be not.

There may or may not be something coming!

No 4 lp set for Symbol?

Does it need 4? The original pressing isn't 4 LPs. Unless you're referring to the tracks being more spread out for better sound.

That aside, the album is 75 minutes, which easily fits on 2 LPs. Hell, it'd fit more if those damn segues were taken out. haha

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

He means 4 lp akin to the D&P 4 lp "Deluxe" edition with b-sides and remixes

I always thought "I wonder" was a favorite by a lot of prince fans

I know I've actually played "Open Book" to a few non prince fans and they loved it

"Player" is circulating in poor quality as far as I knoq but I can't get enough of that song.Always loved it

Never cared at all for "Schoolyard"
