Let's be real, they'll wait until 2027 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Parade. And that's me being optimistic

You mean 2026 (1986)

No, I meant 2027, because for some reason the estate loves to celebrate the 40th anniversary of an album in the year of its 41st anniversary.

Fuck Londell and Charles.

Release remasterd.. now! Include an Act I show and The Ryde Dyvine. Don't think about it, just do it!

"remastered".. lol

Well, we gonna have a Celebration for sure.

If all goes well, a stage musical.

That's it so far.

It would be great if we could at least get some kind of update/announcement to give us an idea of what we can expect this year.I guess that’s asking for too much

Guys, I've completely tuned out and am happier for it - go find something else. Stuff will happen when it happens. The situation is very sad, but it's untenable at this point so don't overthink it. Go listen to Neil Young or something.

Well, I've actually listened to some Prince albums, lately. Albums I hadn't listened to in years because, you know, I had already listened to them a gazillion times over the last 35 years. Stuff like "1999" or "Around The World In A Day". And it was actually a very enjoyable experience. That guy was a genius.

I might even listen to the "Purple Rain" album one of these days. Something I haven't done in years as well.

I recently rediscovered "Parade".

Ha ven't heard it for a very long time too.

What a fucking MEGA masterpiece of an album!

From beginning to end, like an album should be.

Stunning thing to assemble and release it after ATWIAD.

Daring even.

I'm dying for a Dolby Atmos version.

I actually wonder if Prince kept the real painting...

How big is it in real? Is it a canvas?

The way last year they sent an email after Purple Rain celebration saying they were gonna do a "Purple Rain 2.0" celebration 2025 after numerous ppl were complaining about 2024 celebration logistics. the audacity.

The painting that Doug Henders did for the Around The World In A Day album cover he has said was 24” x 48”, painted in acrylic on canvas. I heard somewhere that it was kept at Paisley Park but who knows where it is now.

Thank U for the info.

Maybe the "Camille" album being put together by Jack White...?

SErioulsy ...i'd like to wish something but IMO (hope to have wrong) ...there is nothing to expect from the Estate for the releases from the Vault for different reasons in the years to come ( management, strategic plan, limitation linked to publishing and exploitation rights with WB , Netflix deal conflict...)

Like someone else mentioned it will happen when it happens. Prince getting a Grammy award this year could have coincided with something but the world doesn't work like anymore. I mean when can remember 2004 when it was methodically planned, Grammy performance, hall of fame, new music, tour playing hits for the last time, this was kind of what he was and Clive Davis wanted to do in 1999 with Rave, but you still had a lot of people mainstream that thought prince was nuts, he was still using thr symbol pretty much, this move though regardless of its meaning to him, be it spiritual or artistic freedom, it still came off bad to the public which is what he needed to buy a record. People really forget that prince was still a very local artist yes he had gold records here and there early on and then blew up but the popularity was waning, Prince despite having a big catalog, his catalog is not a big seller, people really have to realize this, he's not a Beatles or zeppelin or Billy Joel or Queen who are still some of the biggest selling artists now currently. The year end chart of sales, Queen and their greater hits was the biggest selling rock album of last year, Elton John's Diamonds was the biggest rock male record, Prince outside of purple rain has no catalog $$$ that's just reality. So as more time passes since he's passed and you don't have something tangible to latch on to, like an award or new discovery or a documentary which at this point might be the last chance to have any momentum in his catalog, but my fear is whatever documentary comes out, it's going to do nothing but sell more copies of Purple Rain.

It would at least be better than nothing.

I feel that sometimes nothing is better that some projects nobody's really excited about. At least give the impression you're working on something important behind the scenes.
