Really? To me it looks like a bad photoshop job. Those hands don't look like they're from the same picture as that head

It's all done on the cheap.It smacks of total amateurism

Big Year....my ass !

The "7" art could have been iconic with a little finessing - mostly due to the cool pose. Take the NPG logo off and work on the fonts a little more (fonts have been a weakness in most of Prince's post-WB releases, so I guess this is nothing new).

As for "All A Share Together Now" -- there is really nothing redeemable about this artwork. Almost literally any other photo would look better than this one.

Huh. I'm genuinely surprised these are actually coming out tomorrow. That said, I'm not surprised that they haven't acknowledged this release or posted about it on social media whatsoever less than 24 hours out

Well the good news is the quality is not that of the cassette thankfully

From the Itunes NZ 1 minute snippets I would say....

.

All A Share Together is as good as a usual release

.

Se7en E Flat is way better than the cassette but still has a strange sound to it but that possibly was the he wants that remix to be, like kinda computerized with all the weird noises

The sound quality is now OK on 7. Still not a very exciting choice for stand alone song. It's OK. A bit too busy for my liking. All A Share Together Now is even more enjoyable now. [Edited 7/6/23 9:41am]

I agree but I am happy to have it, but surely this sould be on the D&P / Symbol SDE not the possible

Vault Part 1 album, I suppose it could be on both

Hopefully there will be some announcement tomorrow regarding there release with some more information

They’ve added some dumb filters to both, but isn’t that just a still from the 7 video?

They're also available in CD quality on Qobuz AUS, thus it will be available on other country-specific websites for that service as well. (And other providers of lossless music, e.g. HDTracks.) Still, remarkable that this isn't even offered in HD.

.

Note that the tracks were provided to YouTube via TuneCore, so neither Sony/Legcy nor Warners/Rhino.

.

And of course zero technical info nor credits.

.

Embarrassingly amateurish.

They are really only releasing 2 songs? Amateur Hour at the estate.

How can it be so hard to just release one of the many unreleased completed albums in the vault? We know there are multile Prince and the Revolution albums and multiple Prince and the NPG albums. How can it be that they still can't even get the 3 released NPG albums up on the steraming sites.

Big year
Small art budget
Its like prince is back in control!

so they are actually going to release that version of 7, eh?

i just can't with these people anymore.

but I'll gladly take "All A Share Together Now".

even if I was hoping for way different stuff at this stage. oh well,
let's see what the estate has to say about this and what is means.

is that 'art' for All A Share Together Now a xerox of a phonepic of a screengrab from a vhs?

lord oh lord!
