40 years ago on March 25th, Prince wold win the Academy Award for best original score for Purple Rain.

5 day later, he along with his band, "The Revolution" would similcast a live concert at the Carrierdome in Syracuse, NY, which would be later released on VHS, then 4 decades later on a SDE

On April 22, Around The World In A Day would be released

4 things: The Family also celebates 40 years. St. Paul and the group have teased a starter show in April, and said they'll be celebrating the album for the whole of 2025.

This year will mark the 40th anniversary for 3 things that Prince have done

I put your grammatically incorrect title in the gray area.
There was also the 'Romance 1600' album, 'The Family' (TP interjection), and a couple other sugar walls and dances electric...

what if this year's estate release is another fucking repackage of the Syracuse show

You're right, I did forget about the other stuff and this was his 2nd year in taking over the music industry after Purple Rain

Is it a rules violation to comment on someone's grammar? After all, we have a number of non-native English speakers on this board.

Also, your reply had several mistakes. So even if your post didn't violate any rules, it was hypocritical.

Yes! they are performing in The Netherlands with Candy Dulfer & Shelby J. : The Purple Jam

A bit of topic, but, a 40 year celebration of a far more important issue;

it's the year where Prince changed his hairdo from big-curly-one-side-swept-back style,

to much shorter for ATWIAD,

and a complete change for the start of filming for UTCM in September '85.

Hence the wig in the video.

from the SDE reissue preview 2025 website :

-

"Prince’s Purple Rain Atmos Mix should finally emerge on blu-ray in the first half of 2025. The blu-ray was confirmed last summer, but didn’t appear, as promised, in 2024 (it’s been up on streaming for ages). The album after Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, is 40 years old this year, but I don’t think that is going to happen and in fact any major activity seems unlikely."

Blue Ray of PR Atmos huh... hm.

I think the Estate has thoroughly demonstrated that it doesn't give a sh*t about anniversaries. Maybe they'll host a listening party of what you've already listened to for years for local residents in Minneapolis. That seems to be the best they have to offer.

Not to mention him dying his hair blonde and having it all fall out lol!

Is that why he wore Liza Minnelli's wig in the Raspberry Beret video?

I wonder why this wasn't covered in Duane Tudahl's book?
