If you would have told the 12 year old me that I could go to a store that is full of Prince T-shirts and all things Prince related... My head would have exploded from happiness...

I TRY to spend money on the site.. but it is all just so terrible....

Who the f*ck?

We've all got our own ideas on how the estate SHOULD be doing things and I don't think any of our ideas match up with exactly how things have been handled up to this point.

Personally, I'd like to see three releases per year with a set schedule. For example;

Every March - A one or two disc set containing vault material from the mid 90s up to his passing.

Every June - A Live DVD/CD combo of a concert from the mid 90s up to his final shows.

Every October - A Super Deluxe Edition of each of his albums from For You right up to the Love Symbol album, featuring all available outtakes from each album, live shows, DVD (if available).

Also, I'd like to see proper remasters of associated artists albums to celebrate their own anniversaries.


Now, if the estate did all that, I'd be truly delighted. But I know they're not going to do any of that. But I'd settle for maybe an update on what their actual plans are. If they have any. I'd be happy if they were to just let people know what to expect in the medium to long term.

I think they might have a plan but refuse to share it with us (thats why there's lack of communication) and don't seem to care about our opinion and what we really want. Instead they upset the fans like last year when the estate refused to released all the celebration tracks for instance, but instead we only got 2 songs and it was like a slap in the face. And when they tried to get us excited about an announcement for Musicology, but we only got United States of Division. This move really backfired on them on social media, with fans feeling upset and disappointed. Instead of building a wall between us and them, they should be more open and communicate with us. I think that's the only way forward, so we can preserve Prince's legacy together instead of arguing.

I'm still really confused why they haven't released those Celebration tracks from last year. For God's sake if they sell them for a dollar/pound/euro/whatever each I'll buy them. I'm sure many of us here would. I get that they wanted a certain feeling of exclusivity about them so they can prioritise the people who paid the big money to go there but come on, I think enough time has passed to give the rest of us a chance to hear these songs without making their priority customers feel short changed.

What do you want from them? To release all the music at once? Like it or not I think they know what they are doing. You have to spread it out and be strategici with it all. I would rather wait for new music then have it all at once.

I would like to see PP used for more things besides tours and fashion shows.. The studios to be activiley used by folks even with tours going on. How cool would it be to be on a tour and not know who is recording there or who may be there.

Give it time....

I LOLd at "strategic".

If this version of the Estate was remotely strategic, they would have done something with the anniversary of When Doves Cry to build up momentum for the Purple Rain SDE.

As I said, we have lawyers in charge. They're more into in-fightings, litigations, trials, etc...These are their core competencies.
Music is the least of their concerns.
And last but not least, they despise us (the fans).

For someone who refers to himself as "MakeMillions McMillan", the dude doesn't seem to be in any hurry to generate income through the estate he runs.

Ok it's not what we expected but we can at least acknowledge that there were lots of releases since Prince passed away.

-"Originals"

-"Piano & A Microphone 1983"

-3 B-sides from "Musicology"

-"His Majesty's Pop Life"

-"1999" SDE

-"Welcome 2 America"

-"Live In Syracuse"

-"Up All Nite With Prince"

-"Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic"

-"Diamonds And Pearls" SDE

-"Sign O' The Times" SDE

-"7 (E Flat Version)" single

-"All A Share Together Now" single

I may have forgotten some ! biggrin

I truly hope that I'll B still alive 2 get a "Parade" SDE (my favorite era) or The First Avenue 83' release (at last !)

Please ask Michael Jackson's fans what they feel...
