seems logical. isn't there also a paisley park after dark party that weekend?
they might treat those people to some stuff from the set.

and for us mere mortals, announcement on thursday and hopefully a track
that is completely unknown to us on friday, as the 1st single.

1st single on Friday! Loving the optimism. They may as well make it Schoolyard for the controversy and publicity

nah, if there is a single it will be one of the unreleased Gangster Glam remixes

Missing the chance to release "I Wonder" and "Player" would be as criminal an omission as the infamous absence of "Extraloveable" and "Lust U Always" from the 1999 set. Unfathomable really... Those 2 songs are among his most cherished and beloved outtakes and 2 of the sweetest, smoothest, juiciest little ditties he ever put down. To not have them represented here and included in the D&P's conversation is almost impossible to imagine. But I suppose stranger and lamer things have happened...

totally agree... but don't worry... you can have Martika's Kitchen instead

shouldnt there be some more alternative takes of the album tracks? (or is this just me hoping for rap-less, less produced versions)

Always complaining but why didn't they release "Joy In Repetition" segued with "Rebirth Of The Flesh" 4 the "SOTT " SDE?

.

TBH I want the first drum intro of Joy In Repetition

Rumour has it that the team of Michael Howe left an SDE of D&P/lovesymbol.

IF this is all confirmed, the new estate chose to focus on one album only and provide more material on this chosen album (having a similar number of discs for two albums instead of one would mean less space for each of the two albums). Londell did say that not enough was being released on previous SDE's. Again, if confirmed, this release will support that Londell does want to release more material around each album, putting words into action.

You have no way of knowing how many discs were planned for a hypothetical D&P/LS combined SDE. Let's not jump to any conclusions or give credit before you even know if it's due.

Omitting "51 Hours" and "Exploding All Over Europe" is unforgiveable.

They could be on a album deluxe.

LILpoundCAKE said:

also, things like "Uh Huh", "Small Bright Light", "Gett Off's Cousin", "Do U Wanna Rock", "Stroke"
etc should logically be included on this set. Some of the Carmen songs date back to this period as
well, don't they?

a lot of stuff to pick from

- Gett Off's Cousin and Do U Wanna Rock could be on a album era Deluxe. Carmen is mostly album era, too.

Carmen was ahead of her time. Today, the Danish female rapper Tessa is big in Denmark.

That arguement falls apart if I wonder, Uh Huh! and the full version of Love Thy Will Be Done are left out.

I don't buy this for one second. There was never any proof of a D&P/Lovesymbol box. If anything, all Londell and Spicer managed to do was delay the D&P Box set for two years. Don't try to make them out as heros. The REAL hero here is Michael Howe.

I hope so, but "51 Hours" literally features Diamond & Pearl so omitting it on the D&P set gets me anxious.

I am just saying folks are already complaining when there is no official confirmation of the content.

There is another way to look at the situation. We would have had far less with one SDE covering two albums and not one.

Make it instrumental and I would say yes.
