My understanding is that the Estate and Netflix have come to an agreement not to release the doc - and so the Estate is free to release what it likes.

Exciting times (although I would have loved to see the doc).

Just to balance things out, I never cared about the documentary. And if it has been released, I doubt I would have even watched it lol

I hope you're right about them being free to release stuff now though. The question is, what will they release first? And when?

I'm assuming they mean everything salvageable has been remastered and a release strategy has been plotted.

If there's no unique marketing strategy, then none of that will matter to Gen Z and casuals.

I think it's possible that we might get both prince SDE and PR SDE this year but time will tell.

Think you might be right- but let’s see how much time passes from this cryptic post to some form of communication from the estate

May be an image of text that says 'The Prince Estate and Netflix have come a mutual agreement that will allow the estate to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince's archive. As a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released.'

The Prince Estate and Netflix have come to a mutual agreement that will allow the estate to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince’s archive,” Netflix said in a statement sent Thursday to the Minnesota Star Tribune. “As a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released.”
“The Vault has been freed,” Prince’s account on X declared on Thursday.

I suspect, not as much as I'd like. I don't think we're going to suddenly see a flood of new releases. I hope I'm wrong on this though.

As long as those two are calling the shots, I don't expect anything professional to happen.

How much do y'all wanna bet they'll throw us one or two singles at most and then fuck off to "produce" this new documentary for the rest of the year? They're gonna say they're shifting all focus to the new doc and use that as the latest excuse for a lack of worthwhile vault releases.

Well, Netflix paid them for a documentary. I'd guess the estate are going to have to pay for a new one. So I'd assume they're doing it in-house and giving it to Netflix. Low budget puff piece incoming.

Probably going to be several album releases in fairly quick succession in order to finance it. It'll be savaged by critics because it's not the documentary people want to see. The journalists who previewed the original will talk about how it glosses over pivotal moments in his life, and generally tries to cover up the negatives from the original.

It'll be widely ignored by the public.

I'd be surprised if Netflix were open to a 1 to 1 swap though. So I'd also guess they're getting, Purple Rain, Cherry Moon, GB and probably a couple of concert films too... Exclusive rights/First refusal on future releases for the next x number of years?

All speculation obviously.

There was actual buzz and excitement for the documentary and the estate torpedoed it because Spicer and Llondel fancied playing at being filmmakers. What a fucking shambles.

Not sure TWO constitutes ‘a lot’. And it’s pretty ballsy of them to show up if you ask me 😑. Hi guys!

before they release any phycial product, which is probably going to take months at least,
they could make a show of goodwill and amend some of the omissions made by previous
people in charge of the estate.

I would love to see a digital download release of all the tracks that could have and in many
cases should have been included on the previous 3 SDE released of 1999/SOTT/D&P.

shit like Lust U Always, Small Bright Light, Yo Mister etc etc.
