Countdown to hopefully Purple Rain SDE announcement?

Judging by previous announcements of SDE which somewhat follow the original album release date, I’m thinking an April 2024 announcement of an SDE seeing how the original album was release in late June 2024?? Wishful thinking!

Do we really need this release so soon after Prince's own anniversary edition?

- Purple Rain will be 40 years old in 2024. I would rather see other releases, but PR makes all sense. And they would certainly include more songs, new designs, etc

"...rather it be done right than 'right now'..."

If you know the quote and where it came from, then you also know this won't be prematurely pushed, just like the '17 attempt.

If the D&P SDE is anywhere near "done right" then this quote means nothing...

The only thing missing from that is the extended version of "Gett Off".

you have other withheld songs, lustmyalwaysbloodymouth? lol

They made a mockery of the "Purple Rain" era vault material. I agree, the '17 attempt was insulting, great job with the analysis!!!

None of us is getting any younger.

The Deluxe edition was great, but I like my Deluxe editions SUPER SIZED and massively overpriced, so bring on some stuff from the vault we already heard, a 7" edit of Take Me With U and a 3000-page booklet of stuff I'll look at maybe twice just so I can possibly hear When Doves Cry with the bass line still in it.

If the estate could at least release 2 SDE a year then I wouldn't mind a PR SDE but I think it's time to focus more on his other albums. I will be disappointed if PR SDE is all we get next year.

There were leaks and photos of D&P SDE months and months before even an official announcement. We are far from that concerning PR SDE.

I was just thinking about how the rollout was for the diamonds and pearls announcement. All the articles came out around August 24, 2023 and it was ultimately released on October 27 so I was just thinking since the Purple Rain album was originally released June 25, 1984 seems like going by that previous pattern of a two month lead time that at least an announcement would be made of a super deluxe sometime in April 2024 ??
Pure hope and speculation.

But the announcement of an estate ( old or new) project never came announced without it being leaked in some ways, months before the actual announcement.
For D&P, there was release dates communicated to wreckastores, orders on CDwebsite, photos of the vinyl singles, early packaging...I can't remember exactly the timing of all of this, but that dates back to early 2023, for sure.

What kind of leak have you got from PR SDE ? Besides the fact Tudahl said in an interview the future releases don't necessarily have to coïncide with anniversaries.
I.e.: don't expect necessarily PR SDE for the 40th in 2024.

Rough

The Purple Rain DE was already released a few years ago - only a vinyl edtition was missing. My guess is there will be a Deluxe vinyl edition of it with minor changes - minus the Live album which was released seperately last year already. If the plan was to do a SDE they would have hold the LIve content back!

It makes no sense to make a "new" Deluxe Edition, people already bought it.

Maybe a special edition of the movie on blueray and a Record Store Day special Edition (color Vinyl) will come - but no new SDE will be released is my guess.

- I would rather have ´Black is the new black´ or somethng like that, but I understand that PR will be 40 years old AND was Prince´s most famous work. It will have much more reviews and people talking about it than Diamonds and Pearls

Great points. Would hope that the estate and WBR
treats 2024 as a big year for Purple Rain. Major marketing and advertising will build excitement.40 year anniversary is a big milestone. The Beatles go all out!

I think they will release something from the Purple Rain era like the First Avenue 83 concert as part of a deluxe set but I'm not sure there is any PR SDE ready. On the other hand, there's no leaked photos of any deluxe set either so I'm not sure what they're planning for the PR 40th anniversary. I still think prince is the next SDE, maybe by the end of 2024.

We do. The mastering is done so poorly. I don't care if someone from Bernie Grundman did the mastering, it stinks. On a stereo, I can't even get through When Doves Cry because it's so brickwalled and fatiguing.

And why the hell is the beginnng of "Erotic City" sounding like the tape got chewed up????

What I'd love is a bigger box. Kevin Gray brought it to remaster it all.

Hopefully restore "Erotic City" as it's such a fan favorite.

In addition to all the stuff the one eight years ago came with, I'd add:

The Time "Ice Cream Castles" (remastered with bonus track "Tricky")

Apollonia 6 album remastered with single versions, 12" version on a bonus disc

Dez Dickerson "Modernaire" officially released 12"

The Original CD is pretty damn good. One of the better OG 80s CDs.

All the OG CDs just need some light EQ and they're fantastic. The pining due to the "desperate need" for remasters is highly exaggerated and dramatic. Most people just want "proper" level balance in their lame Spotify playlists (which will never happen, because the 90s/00s is the other extreme of the mastering spectrum vs. the 80s CDs).

CO-sign.

And it's hardly a significant numeral "anniversary", gimme a break. This is the least pressing SDE in Prince's entire catalogue--no, not because I don't believe it to be a great album or worthy of an SDE, because it's going to happen again and again anyway--it already did happen, proving my point to a T. They should just name it Purple Rain SDE Vol. 2.

There were leaks of a Lovesymbol vinyl re-release. Can't remember exactly what was written on the sticker, but was Obviously remastered.
And we all know they have the unreleased material of that album + the photos + the notes and archivals already ready for that album.

So, if PR has to be delayed for whatever reasons, they could easily pick this one instead.
Logically...bu that new estate is made of dumass people,so who knows.
