If the Estate doesn't announce/release something GOOD within the next four months.... ...I am just going to give up....
And by "GOOD" I mean MUSIC THAT'S NEW...
It's just rediculous...
I am going to take my Prince Fan Energy and transfer it to, I don't know, The Beatles or The Smiths or The Cure or The 1975!!!! | |

That's exactly what you need to do buddy. Surely Prince cannot be the only artist you like. While we wait, transfer that energy into other artists. They'll release new music when they're ready. It's not the end of the world. | |

I agree with your sentiment, but the problem is that this estate is never going to be "ready". They're completely content coasting by on overpriced merch, Celebration tickets, and reissues of the same shit everyone already has. Last year's D&P SDE was probably the last 'big' thing we'll see for a loooong time. | |

If something was coming this year we would know about it already | |

Putting energies into other artists is lame though, mainly because other artists just simply do not have the potential trove of unreleased outtakes like Prince does.

. Are you seriously going to pretend we knew nothing about that set before the announcement? Its Deluxe Edition had leaked in March or so. The estate had already admitted it was coming but needed to coordinate with the record labels for its release. | |

Waiting for the Estate to get his shit together is like waiting for a turkey to fly. They're seeking to void the Netflix deal in order to sell the rights to another platform. So we might very well go back from zero and wait for that new documentary to be done before we can enjoy free Vault releases. Give it another 5 years. | |

Ready for what?
I find it hard to believe that SDE's are not planned years ahead, especially due to the legal shenanigans.
This Estate version has failed again: missed golden Marketing oppurtunities for the PR SDE. Or maybe they want to promote the SDE with the musical next year.
Who knows, but the silence does not make any sense.

They DID come out with that bizarre "next twelve months" statement a little while back... As if we won't be getting the Purple Rain SDE until NEXT summer.... | |

Yes they're probably dragging out the next release as much as possible. [Edited 7/24/24 16:35pm] U are now an official member of the New Power Generation

Got some mail from Paisley Park yesterday saying they are just at the beginning of the year long Purple Rain celebration so I expect a lot more to come but am also expecting a endles chain of disapointments | |

Do you remember: decades ago the very same retorics of frustration, dissatisfaction and impatience abounded among Prince fans.

I don't think this is going to be enough. For the Estate to make a move, I suggest you threaten commiting suicide in front of Paisley Park (or even better, a mass suicide if you find other participants, but personally I'll pass) A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

I still have no idea why they're putting so much emphasis on celebrating the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain but are opting out of any major releases in the window of the album/film's actual 40th anniversary. If they do end up releasing a Purple Rain SDE next year, it's going to make zero sense to market it as a "40th anniversary edition" in 2025, a whole year after the actual anniversary. | |

If they don’t do a 50th anniversary celebration/SDE in honor of For You by 2028 we can loose all hope definitively! ![]() | |

I know “I’m dreaming when I write this” but it would B great if an announcement would B done 2morrow for a First Avenue 83’ release…. This silence despite this PR 40th anniversary is unbelievable….

Give up or not, the truth is nobody cares.
Listen to the Beatles already or the Cure or both, because nothing will be announced in the next four months. | |
