This seems odd to me: I doubt Warners is producing a separate disc for the German market. Usually it produces discs for the whole of Europe, with numerous language options (English + German + French + Spanish etc.) as well as subtitles for plenty of languages.

.

That "BD-66" suggests the 4K UHD disc contains only the movie. If the enclosed Blu-ray is merely a repeat of the previous 2016 release, it might very well be possible we're not getting any new extras.

German, French, Italian etc blu rays have their own packaging in hteir respective langiage. but the disc itself is the same.

4K blu rays normally contain the feature film only. All extras are on a seperate (regular) blu ray disc.

By the way, the listing on jpc.de has disappeared, guess they published it too early.

Just like the white winged dove...

Certainly hoping for some additional "extras". Otherwise, not buying this for the [approximately] 5th time. No thanks. I'll save my money for the SDE's.

Having said that, it would be pretty cool if they added a "new" live Purple Rain-era concert/even concert footage with various Prince artists during the period to the package. Then, SOLD!

I guess it's just the same as the 20 anniversary 2 DVD set but in 4K (the extras disc are probably the same quality as the 2 DVD set)

Amazon UK now has listings for two versions:

.

- Regular: https://www.amazon.co.uk/...B0D2LHHWSW

.

- (Limited edition?) Steelbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/...B0D2LJ9M1Z

.

Note that the listing title for the Steelbook includes the word "Motorbike", which suggests that alternate art I posted earlier might also still be in the pipeline.

.

No new extras.

Odd to see a month between the regular release and the Steelbook, if the 24 Jun release date for the regular edition is correct.

They could've at least put the performance from the premiere party on here. They performed 17 Days, Irresistible Bitch, and When Doves Cry.
Also, some of the rehearsal footage that was in the posthumous videos for Nothing Compares 2 U and Manic Monday would've been a nice addition.

How many times did I tell you there were no extras?
How can you discover that now?

This release makes no sense.

I hope they sell ZERO copies.

Apparently the estate wanted more money to cooperate with the release, so WB just used what they had already.
Shame really!

The extras are on their own BD and not crammed to the UHD so that makes me hopeful that everything was at LEAST reencoded from their sources to 1080p/i. Music videos may be restored since those are mostly sourced from the film (shot on 35mm).

Such BS. No, the extras are spread over the two discs, whereas in the past they all fit on the Blu-ray. "Crammed"? A UHD can be up to 100 GB. Since these extras were produced in SD, they cannot be reencoded to 1080/i, they need to be upscaled.

As usual with him...
Throwing words and all possible scenarios at a wall and see what sticks and then pretend to have already known this shit...
You should have seen what he said about "The Truth" vinyl RSD release when it was released and more recently his nonsense about the TV show "The Lone Gunman"...

Neversin; out again (can't tolerate the nonsense anymore from that idiot so someone had to say something...)

RODSERLING said [this about the RSD The Truth release]:
I never succeed in listening to this album in its entirety (!). I would have gave it a try on CD at 10 bucks. But surely not on vinyl at 40 bucks, sorry. It wad never supposed to be listened to that way, by the way. Maybe it was never supposed to be listened to at all, since it was just a bonus dic for CB.

And Nayroo2002 replied:
VAHT???
What "way"?

Take a long, deep breath and then breathe in 'The Truth'.

...after you've bought it, of course.
(btw, you said "wad", and then you said "dic"

To be honest, for me it’s just nice to see some old names, whether Rodserling with his take on things (for comedy or worthwhile!), or particularly Databank or even/especially Neversin actually looking at posts and taking an interest.
There may or may not be something coming!

One thing you can say about Londell, he runs things just like Prince.
Promises lots and releases nothing!!
(Except Prince had new music to release, and Tours, while Londell has nothing else!)

Neversin has always been there, just not on the Org.

What's an "original orger"?

Don't know if I will buy this one or wait for the inevitab;e 8K or how ever much 'K' in a few years with still no extra probably lol
For the last year we read of 'newly' unearthed really interesting stuff (for us regular fans at least) that could be dropped as a extras on a Purple Rain 4K Bluray.
I hoped that stuff would have been included on the 4K release when it was mentioned back in fbebruary it was worked on by WB.

same here, except for Rodeserling and his bullshit facts. You forgot to mention his BS about the units sold in Europe of The Truth for RSD and his BS claims that RSD is only a USA thing and isn't something that's organised in the rest of the world lol lol lol lol That guy lives under a rock or something.
