Batman, For You, Lovesexy - 2023 vinyl re-issues?

https://www.cede.com/en/m...d=18129906

I’ve seen this site before being early with new stuff (Rodserling used to post from them, remember him?). If this Batman vinyl re-issue is legit, there’s little/no info on who is releasing it, but likely Warners.

There are a For You and a Lovesexy 2023 vinyl re-issues up on the site too, all with 26th May 2023 release date. States they are a “Reissue from the original Warner (Bros.) Records stereo master with digitally recreated original cover.”

AN LP doesn't have room for additional material. These reissues are just that - reissued so everything is on vinyl for the sake of it. Just like his first few albums were reissued (and remastered) and put out the day he died. I can only imagine it'd have extra artwork inside or something.

But - at this point, who the fuck knows what's going on anywhere?

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Last month someone on Facebook mentioned Come vinyl reissue in May but it seems like it won't happen.

I think this is just poor wording/bad translation?

It mentions that for Lovesexy, Prince 'rehashed' material from The Black Album and Crystal Ball... songs which are 'reissued' here - they mean 'reused' here, along with 'additional material'... by which I think they mean other songs that were newly written/recorded for Lovesexy... misleading description indeed...

This Reddit discussion, also mentions a Batman reissue in May but also a Come one.

Amusingly, a certain user going by the name ‘BCdotWHAT’ has a very ‘Bartesque’ reply to another user’s comment about Come being Sony legacy, “ Read the goddamn press release they put out years ago. It's easily found. But read it. Really read it. Oh, and look at what was released in the past couple of years, by whom and where. It's piss-easy to figure this out.“ 🤣

On the german internet retailer jpc it says "Prince...published it here with additional material" (own translation from german) - it´s a description of "Lovesexy".

"Die Hörproben gehören zum Artikel Prince: Emancipation (CD). Das Tracklisting kann bei diesem Artikel ggf. abweichen."

.

In not so many words, this is only a list of songs from the album that you can sample.

Otherwise, you might have triggered another "Best edit of 'Emancipation' " thread lol

I'm happy for all those who still buy vinyl
Last vinyl I bought was the welcome 2 America vinyl and that's because I kinda had to get the Blu-ray concert
The vinyl has never once been played and probably will never be because I do not own a record player
Music sounds best to me ripped in FLAC format with good headphones

But owning Batman on vinyl has always been a dream.I might get that one
Wasn't "for u'' released reissued on vinyl a few years back?

A good subsection of vinyl junkies do just that. Thoroughly clean the record, get a nice clean needledrop ripped to 24/96 FLAC and play that instead of wearing down the record with every play.

Most early CD releases of old records use copies of copies of aged, worn-out master tape copies, so LPs are preferred to get the original masters. OG Parliament and Funkadelic CDs are a good example. Some of those are basically dubbed cassettes on CD.

Honestly, Batman was always really really easy to find on vinyl - it was widely released on vinyl back in 89 and it shows up a lot in used record stores, Discogs etc. In that era, album releases tended to be very multi format, cassette, LP and CD. Same goes for GB and Lovesexy actually


And yeah For You was included in the Rhino vinyl remasters from a few years back, it sounds great.

ive no interest in these as i own the originals.

id only be interested in a batman re release if it comes on bat-shaped vinyl.

or in a metal cannister with the bat logo.

or if when you play it, it lights up and the bat signal shines onto the ceiling (maybe third man can get this one going)

or if lovesexy is on pink and white vinyl

etc

Interesting, as well as the 2023 Warners re-issues, now this site has 2023 Sony re-issues of Lovesexy and Come on pre-sale!

Edit: I’ve not had the email but the Prince Estate apparently has sent an email for these…
