New leak: cancelled Deluxe 4LP of the Symbol album from 2023 Remember how we got leaks of a remastered D&P and a remastered Symbol album in early 2023? And then we got a leak of a Deluxe D&P? Wasn't it remarkable how we then didn't get a leak of a Deluxe Symbol album? . Well, now we got that last one: https://www.reddit.com/r/...et_for_15/ . . . The interesting thing here is which edits, remixes etc. were chosen. Note the inclusion of a version of... "Peach"! | |

What's crazy is that the person on Reddit got it for $15 (allegedly). | |

Peach: it was recorded in June 1992. The most recent track on "Love Symbol" ("I Wanna Melt With U") was recorded in "Spring 1992", but the remixes (MNIP, Sexy MF, etc.) were done in Summer 1992. [Edited 6/17/24 5:37am] | |

How is it even possible that this unreleased set would end up at second hand shop? ![]() ![]() ![]() U are now an official member of the New Power Generation

I finally got a relatively cheap original vinyl of the love symbol album on vinyl...it'd be nice to have a deluxe version to go with it...but there's not much unreleased on this set is there...only 1 song I haven't already got....still, if theres no SDE of it, and they don't try to rob us with the price I'd buy it...

I really hope this happens. It's our best hope with the state of the estate. I'd love to get the likes of With This Tear.. | |

It's criminal we still don't have the vault stuff. Just end it already. There's no way this is coming out anytime soon and we all know it. | |

As someone recalled it in another forum, pic from “The Vault…Old Friends 4 Sale” leaked as well before its official release. So we can expect the same for this item. I’m wondering what vault tracks will surface. Regarding the videos : I expect “3 Chains O’ Gold” (I would prefer music videos to get in full “The Continental”, “I wanna Melt With You”, “2 Whom It May Concern”) from the VHS/Laserdic (as they did for “Diamonds And Pearls” SDE”).

. Oh for fuck's sake. . Back in March 2023 three releases leaked: 2LP Remastered of D&P and Symbol, plus 4LP Deluxe of D&P. Clearly this 4LP Deluxe of Symbol belongs to that same set. Note the 2023 copyright date. . This is not a "preview" of something we'll get this year. This year is PR SDE. It's gonna get announced in the next week or so, and probably released of September or October. That is it for this year. They're not suddenly gonna put out an SDE of Symbol in the mon,tsh after that. . Note that we're eight months since the D&P release, and all we've gotten is three incompetently released Musicology B-Sides -- which also did not result ina Musicology SDE. . Seriously, WTF is it with Prince fans and their determination of seeing "signs". Remember how you lot all got a boner after the Do Me, Baby demo got released -- and then no Controversy SDE got released, it was literally a one-off release. . Note how the leaks from March 2023 included a Remastered Symbol: did we get that? Then why is this leak a "sign" of anything? | |

This seems needlessly harsh ![]() Maybe some people see "signs" as more of a wishful thinking kind of thing rather than an actual expectation? I hope you are right about the Purple Rain SDE though. | |

Fully agree. "WTF" is he so rude ? "Money won't buy U happiness but it'll pay 4 the search." | |

All bizzie bashing aside, like the babybabysitter said, there isn't anything new on this (except a (sax version) of "Damn U"). That "Peach" edit is just "titties" replaced by a guitar riff. Plus, if someone ripped it and uploaded it, there would be no exact -remaster- as it's on vinyl. Cool packaging, though! "Whatever skin we're in

If that happens (which I really hope), the estate can only blame themselves for not releasing the set and earning some money. I would much rather purchase an official release and support these kinds of releases, but the estate is busy selling overpriced celebration tickets and merchandise. They could've easily put out 2 SDEs this year, but they won't. U are now an official member of the New Power Generation

Might have been stated before but if the old plan was for a combined sde of dnp plys symbol, how many cds or records would that have been? And what are we talking vault tracks wise? Or was the plan for both albums to get a sde release around the same time. I just cant imagine them releasing a set that huge. unless they did away with all the boring edits, remixes etc. | |

I wouldn’t be surprised if this IS the bootleg. The official one would either be just the album, or the SDE… and this is neither. | |
