Holy fucking shit. They're really giving us another release of the worst available remaster of Purple Rain. You can't make this shit up.

At this point I hope they're just doing this out of spite because the idea of anyone being this out of touch and terrible at their job is scary lol

If they're release the 2015 remaster, that suggests to me there's not going to be a 2024 SDE. They wouldn't release two different remasters of the same album a few months apart. Then again, they are inept.

Who is the guy who only knows permanent conflict, who passed over the Estates of Malcolm X, Michael Jackson and 2Pac with the same shit strewn everywhere.He is the king of trials, that's the only thing that keeps him alive and gets him hard...he works for the current Prince Estate....WHO?...you guessed it? if YES you have your answer and there will be nothing to wait for as long as certain people are at the head of the Estate!

They could've at least released an album with outtakes if there's no plan for any PR SDE. I don't care if the album only has one disc, I'll take it. Just release something interesting. smile

"Limited" -- No information about how many units will be pressed. And the store is letting me order up 2 10 copies at once (so it can't be very limited).

I would have preferred that they had released the 2017 Deluxe Edition on vinyl with like half-speed vinyl mastering (yes, I know that the source tapes have been trashed a fair bit!), seeing as we didn't get a vinyl version of the vault trax etc. back in 2017. That said, I'm fine had today only been the 4K Blu-ray of PR.

I know, right?

Does not bode well for any SDE they may be cooking up. If they think they should stick with the 2015 master instead of having it redone properly that's a big disappointment.

Don't worry guys, they're just saving the biggest and best release for later in the year: a Dolby Atmos remix bluray of Prince & The Revolution: Live In Syracuse

BIG YEAR!

You make a great but scary point. It's unlikely they would hawk this awful, nearly universally derided remaster and then offer a completely different remaster four months from now. Even if we get a SDE, this may be the best we get in terms of the actual album itself, which is tremendously dissapointing, especially after the awesome D&P remaster of the stereo album.

Not so awesome as it managed to fuck MDM2N's intro. That was super lame.

Clearly and, TBH, that's good news. Let's hope they release something at all, but if they do, there's much more interesting material for them to release that a rehash of something they already put out not that long ago.
