Instead of bothering him, you could have googled it and found https://recordmecca.com/n...th-prince/ .

Asking someone a question isn't inherently bothering them. Some people like to have conversations and discussions. They actually enjoy talking to people. Perhaps you don't. Which is fine. But don't project your preferences onto other people.

People are accusing you of being Bart. Are you? If not, then let me tell you about Bart. He had this irrational, indefensible belief that the only legitimate way to aquire information was by reading it on a static page. He was vehemently opposed to interactive learning. He could never articulate why. He simply thought it was inherently true that gaining information through dialogue was somehow dumb or lazy. Which of course makes no sense. That's why comments like yours, expressing opposition to interactive learning, make people suspect you're Bart.

Yes, he is. Posts by bizzie have Bort written all over them.

That's a good guess. I think you're right.

That's what you wish. Cuz y'all love to celebrate the day he died because of some old interview, or some morbid fandom.

The albums released by the Estate are not bad. The two SDEs contain dozens and dozens of songs that I've been waiting for decades and that Prince had never released. They have been a liberation. I really liked the idea of ​​releasing Welcome 2 America too, a minor album by Prince has emerged that helps to better understand his making music. One Day We All B Free is a sore song, it's good to have it in context. And Originals also releases pieces that we can finally hear with Prince's voice. Of course, all these projects have flaws, shortcomings, they could have been done better. But also much, much worse. Surely the bull-punchers at Prince.org couldn't have done them better, who are capable of designing album ideas so personal in their heads that - coming out of their navel - their assholes already wouldn't like them.

Yes, Bizzie is Bart - in some other post he addressed the org members as "you lot" - a typically condescending phrase, that only Bart ever used around here.

I don't think most fans are upset with which unreleased material they've put out so far, just upset that the people in charge are fucking around and we haven't had a full-on SDE in over 2 and a half years

word...VERY morbid... diabolical, even

I mean it is not like the Estate has ever done anything like inviting people to view Prince's ashes on the fifth anniversary of his death ... Oh wait!

Same criticism goes for them.

Mourning the death of a loved one and celebrating their life and what they did for others on the anniversary of the day they died is hardly uncommon, hardly distasteful and hardly diabolic.

It is not devilish, diabolic, fiendish, satanic, Mephistophelian, demonic, demoniacal, hellish, infernal, evil, wicked, ungodly or unholy - all synonyms for diabolic. It is Good Friday where I am writing this - Not that I am equating Prince with Jesus, just the mourning of their deaths, the celebration of their lives and being thankful for what they did.

I tried to make a new thread regarding the forthcoming reissues on a more positive vibe

it got a few replies but has since been deleted!

Could the mods give me a heads up as to why? it was not really a dupe and had some valuable reasons on why this release "Could" ne announced soon

Monetizing and commercializing someones' death EVERY YEAR after they have passed away...is a greedy, sinister and diabolic enterprise...and i couldnt care less about your obviously limited train of thought.

Try to keep up wih my train of thought with a little more care. And please don't try to make this personal.

This thread is about us seeking to encourage MORE releases from a dead artist, not less. There is no evidence that the Estate is grossly monetising and commercialising Prince's death - Just the opposite. There is not a history of large scale exploitative releases on the 21 April every year since the first anniversary in 2017. All that happened is 7 years after his death, a person here suggested that perhaps we may get an announcement in April around the time of Prince's death after an extended period of lack of monetising products to commercialise Prince's music.

Now youre moving the goalposts...you cant even follow your own train of thought, that YOU introduced in your original lame reply to MY comment...bless yur heart

It is not all about you, We are both just replying to others before us in this thread. There is no point in taking this thread further off topic.

Lets move on and just agree that we want more musical releases from Prince and it really does not matter what day of the year these are announced.

I appreciated that effort. I guess the mods just want to stick with org policy limiting conversations to the first post about a given topic, no matter how off the rails it goes or how misleadingly it's titled.

Yet a new m.j. vs. prince thread every month or so.

So could it be a 2 LP remaster Each a 4LP remaster + Singles each and a 5th combined set with the valut and alts and concerts?

new celebration announcement on twitter - using some version of 7, is that new or a remix i'm forgetting? sounds live-ish, has that same the max sample at the end

My sugestion! for the album! that it includ a gold the same size as the CD or LP (depending on what you buy)

another idea is a glass/plastic hologram *maybe 4"X4" (10cm) Not paper or that foil stuff but an actual glass square...

as you can see right here, i've highlighted the parts of the celebration announcement that would seem to allude to a D&P SDE

I've always considered D&P to be a very commercial album. If you'd asked me why, I would have said the production, the accessiblity of the songs, the heavy promotion (he made some of his most professional videos in years).

But it just occured to me that the hologram cover probably also plays into my perception of it being a commerical album.

I think the hologram is kind of tacky and crass. Do other people like it? Or like me, do people think it's too commerical and cheesy?

please for the love of god someone post more info today i know ur out there

This does strongly hint at the joint D&P-Love Symbol SDE. In addition to the D&P specific panel, there's the panel lookig at Prince's experimentation with hip-hop. Those two records were his most extensive dive into that genre, so the topics go hand-in-hand.
