I'd love to see a single SDE for The Time -- all 4 classic albums, singles and b-sides, plus vault and a bluray or two. I think that could work. | |

That would undermine the time tbh. Prince wrote for them. but ultimately without morris as a muse or frontman the time wouldnt have worked. Let them have a sde in their own right. That aside, we havent even had that many prince sde releases yet. When all the main albums are done, then id be interested in seeing sdes for other affiliated artists. | |

SOTT is my favorite album, but the cost of the SDE (for me) was prohibitive. | |

I'm the same way. Well, I enjoy a good live DVD/video but I can do without a live show on CD. | |

Let certain folks tell it, Parade was already configured and then put on hold. D&P and TLS was a boxed set - probably where that 7 E Flat version was sourced from - and Spicer just basically confirmed PR I think that info sums up the next 2-3 years for SDEs I won’t be mad at all! | |

There's no question here. You go with 50th over 40th and you go with Dirty Mind over Graffiti Bridge. I like the 40th anniversary run-ups to that year. | |

What's unambitious about it? | |

Well for starters they're not even attempting to be at all exhaustive in their curation of eras (so many originals missing, "I Wonder", etc.)

Taking 5 years off would be a terrible idea - fans aren't getting any younger, the estate needs money coming in, and Prince's legacy would be compromised by such a long gap. . I don't see the issue with releasing the SDEs out of chronological order. Releasing those that will get the most attention first makes perfect sense. And I certainly don't want to be waiting decades before getting any late period SDEs. . I can't explain why they're not being comprehensive - that would be something to ask the estate. | |

. As a software engineer, I've always found that music releases should be more like software. . You can have different versions of a release, with major versions (1.0, 2.0, etc.) and minor ones (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc.). You could have previews, alpha/beta releases. . Updates could be released as full releases or just patches (e.g. "here are just two tracks that we fixed from the previous release"). . You could have bug reports (e.g. "there is some tape warble on 'Wally', can you fix or at least document this?" or "there's a glitch at the beginning of 'Erotic City', please fix"), requests for enhancements (e.g. "there's too much reverb on this mix, could you do another mix?"), etc. . And then, there's also documentation. Everything should be documented and the documentation should be updated frequently. . And it should be a collaborative effort (think open source, Github, Gitlab, etc.), with comments/discussions before decisions, push requests, etc. . Of course, you could still manufacture physical releases from time to time, for those that really want them. . Yes, I'm aware this is completely geeky/nerdy, but I'm pretty sure this would be a fantastic way to handle things. Especially since we're not talking about an artist releasing new works, but about how to handle what he left behind. This should be done in a more technical/rigorous way. | |

Duane Tudahl is now mentioned as the archivist or Senior Researcher for the Prince Estate, so may be some of the interviews he will do for the D&P release will enlighten us on what’s being unearthed, albeit exact mentions may not be allowed due to NDA or other legal stuff. Otherwise, I think the format for the Prince SDEs is something Warners has decided on, and what goes on it has to fit the LPs, then spread out on the CDs. There may or may not be something coming! | |

I hadn't even considered The Time for a SDE but this is just a fantastic idea. As long as it doesn't slow the Prince SDEs let's get a Time all in box set. All four albums, the original Pandemonium, all the b-sides, singles, etc., a Live Show or two. Adding the Prince original versions would make it all the more epic. Great idea!

Warner discuss what the Estate want to release. Warner set deadlines for the remastered album, singles and b-sides, and 3 CDs of Vault tracks, plus a concert or 2 for an extra cd and Blu-ray. Then the estate request everything that’s available from the vault, take a listen, and send what they think works to Warner. At least, I assume it’s something like that! ![]() | |

If they release TLS I hope they include the I'll Do Anything tracks. I've been wanting to hear these in good quality for years. | |

Ugh, I just want the Parade SDE most of all. There are so many cool outtakes from this | |
