Quite the opposite. It was over a year ago we were already hearing that D&P and Parade SDEs were done and on the shelf, waiting. SOTT came, then nothing for over a year except for Syracuse.

There's no reason to rush anything. There are no deadlines except in fan's minds.

I guess what I’m saying is the execution was rushed .

Well again, we don't know that. And honestly, it doesn't make sense. If the SDE itself was ready over a year ago, was the ATMOS DVD? Maybe. Or maybe it was added later, and that was worked on itself with nothing else.

I don't believe it was rushed. It seems like there were some ...artistic choices that didn't need to be made. Fenwick has said the separation is great in general. But those points about the center channel - which all things revolve around in situations like this - are bothersome.

I now consider "Schoolyard" among his worst tracks. Cringe city. "Getting it on in the school yard". Not clever at all.

Excuse me for being a bit late to the party on this, but I presume there's no other (legal) way to watch the Glam Slam concert without forking out for the SDE?

So annoying.

No, that’s mine main gripe for the SDE releases. The hiding of a big thing that made Prince lasting so long.

It's so crazy how much better the concise edit of Something Funky is compared to this new full more organic version. Still not great, but the full version just runs too long... and I almost never say that about any Prince song ever.

I said exactly the same.

The songs do get better once you get rid of initial expectations.
Dont say u love me reeks of the early 90s but in a great way! He nails that sound.

Im still annoyed the earlier rough versions of different album tracks arent on here.
For an album like this, ie with a new band that many fans think is over produced and imagine the earlier versions to be best (rightly/wrongly), that would have been of interest.
