Completely agree, really boring release that we have all heard before.

such a missed opportunity yet again.

RSD could have been an outlet for some exciting releases

We could have had Camille Album, High on Vinyl perhaps Roadhouse Garden

or even companion releases for Purple Rain , albums by The Time, Appolonia 6

or Modernaire on 12" Coloured Vinyl

this is not on sony or warner you dillweeds this is just the same shit that's been released on cd in the past. this doesn't preclude an actual RSD release this year, not that i think there will be anything interesting officially.

The first disappointment of the year.

the first of many, no doubt.

I kind of blame this album for why more fans don't care about his songwriting/production work. They usually get spammed with this one when they're new fans, probably get hype at the description, then fall flat when they actually put it on.

He only wrote one track on this album, but I swear this sours them into believing his other hundreds of give-aways are equally uneventful.

Who cares about the Vault on vinyl ? Is there really someone in the world who will actually play it? The sound can't be better sourced than the one released on CD.

And even if it could, it won't.

...And they even have the nerve to call it "Legendary"

I've always seen these just like the Jimi Hendrix recordings backing Curtis Knight or Little Richard, marketed with fancy artwork trying to fool the compulsive buyer. Sure Prince was there and had his input palying this or that and with a writing credit, but this stuff ain't more than anecdotic.

I actually like the 94 East recordings but this stuff has been released and re-released too many times

Doesn't this cement that Pepe's only claim to fame is his association to Prince?
Pretty shameless how he keeps milking these recordings not by the music but by the Prince brand

...just another sucker

That is a great great song...much better than "Soft & Wet"

if it is in your world, i can respect that

Yawn.

I'm a bit suppripsed that there won't be a reissue for RSD but maybe the estate has bigger plans for the album. Once again, there's lack of communication from the estate so we can only guess what the next releases might be.

I think they could releae the SDE tomorrow given the time that has passed since the D&P SDE and he work already done for it.

I think the plan was to release both D&P SDE and SDE last year but didn't happen cuz the D&P SDE was postponed from July to October. Unfortunately it seems like they will only focus on PR this year.

"Diamonds & Love" SDE was the completed set with both D&P and . They just removed all the material and released what was left as D&P SDE.

Yes UK Only either way I would pass on this even if released here, never was a fan of it.
