I see nothing yet on the official site.

It was accidentally listed on the site early and some people were able to order it before it was taken down.

I don't think we should expect songs like I Wonder, Standing At The Altar and I Hear Your Voice to be on a third vault disc. The leaked tracklist of vault songs is probably what we get.

If the track times are correct in the ppl, for all the vault tracks that are posted, it comes out to 170 minutes. That would be 85 minutes per CD. SOTT Vault discs did not exceed 75 minutes. 1999 Vault discs did not exceed 65 minutes, I think we are looking at ~40 minutes worth of vault tracks missing to make up a 3rd disc

Well, N. for one has been saying not to get to excited for a year now, but he said that before all SDE's came out.

Whatever happens - TODAY is the day. Haven´t been this excited for Prince news in a loooong time.

And N. is right to say this. As long as we don't get properly curated releases, with original mixes instead of remixes, WIP mixes, rehearsals, proper documentation on the content, etc. we indeed shouldn't get too excited. Let's judge the current Estate after a few releases. Still, I'm ready to bet that the way to proper archival releases is still very long. And we might never get there.

Most probably, yes.
But a photo of the CD version of the SDE just leaked and in shows THREE vault CDs, and the same 12" sized hard bound book as the vinyl version, so it looks good!

It seems:

.

2 vinly for the remaster

3 vinyl for the Glam Slam live

2 vinyl for b-side/remixes

2 vinyl for the "originals"

3 vinyl for the Vault

.

So, I think:

.

1 CD for the remaster

2 CD for the Glam Slam live

1 CD for b-side/remixes

1 CD for the "originals"

2 CD for the Vault

.

It is only a personal hypothesis looking the LPs photo...

It says there 47 unreleased tracks from the vault And the videos….someone said they wouldn’t be included

.

In the past (SOTT SDE) they count the live tracks as unreleased tracks in the first presentation of the SDE. I think we have to wait the tracklist to be sure.

I think it's inevitable at this point that stuff gets 'leaked'. All the retailers will want the
sets on their sites, ready to launch for pre-sale as soon as the official announcement is
made.

And since it's already almost afternoon in Europe, it's not that strange that some sites
over here have it up already.

For 90% of the regular public this set will still be a surprise they will only learn about
well after the estate announces it, in the coming days, through media blurbs.

I just wish we had the tracklist for the 3 vault discs yet

And very very happy to see "Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Mins)" included

Well, i think we almost have it.

Only 3 studio tracks are missing from our list.

I guess it will be "only" 34 studio tracks + 13 live songs to make the 47.

I think the glam slam gig is 13 tracks, then the Olympics peformance is 2 songs. so total 15.

that would leave room for 32 studiotracks. 30 that we knew of, plus Gett Off DN10M.

leaves us with only 1 track. Could be an intro to the live performance or something.

So my guess right now is no more surprise tracks, just the list we already have. Which is ok
for me. Just really sad about I Wonder and Player not being included.
