Not my favorite album either but at least its better than another fucking blanket or whatnot.

LMFAO you really can't make this shit up

They'll keep stringing fans along with promises of "something big" until Celebration, where they finally announce what we've all been waiting for.... Live At Syracuse: Dolby Atmos Edition, both on BluRay and in select theaters

I'd be willing to bet money that the Blu Ray will sound better than the streaming version. Either way I thought "Beautiful Ones" sounded great on my set up (7.1.4 Atmos). I just preordered.

The estate really knows how to make money by targeting niche markets. Wasting money on creating and selling an Atmos mix that most people won't even buy. What's next LaserDisc?

Honestly not a fan of the Atmos mix. Also don't really see the point of audio bluray.
I think I'll pass on this one. Enough copies of Purple Rain already thanks, what else you got?

I guess this is the estate’s way of promoting the upcoming Purple Rain musical releasing Purple Rain stuff a year after it’s 40th Anniversary.

The cast album from the stage musical will be their next big release

I guess they’ll be lucky if they manage to sell 5 copies of that album

if the atmos mix was anything other than totally awful, this would be an instant purchase for me. unfortunately that is not the case. the mix fucking sucks.

I think it's a good mix and nice to listen to hear new things. I think just a taste and setup thing
But it's still 100 times better than that brickawlled shit Prince and that corny guy from that 3rdeyegirl drummer came up with.

Is it, though? Is it?

This release was announced almost nine months ago. Despite literally nothing happening, you lot still couldn't retain that tiny bit on info and now get upset.

.

Also, this is a shit release. Not because it is PR, because it is a barebones release with no bonuses, e.g. officially released extended versions etc. in Hi-Res. And because the Dolby Atmos mix is pretty bad.

.

But at least we're getting the original 1984 PR master in Hi-Res. Hopefully it's the fixed version, and not the one with the bad version of TBO that was originally released through HDTracks.

.

They could have easily made this into a must-have by including a couple of previously unreleased tracks and/or versions.

Not having the 12 inch versions, mixes and b-sides and the videos on there is a crime. It's a BluRay so it could easily fit all that on it.

"A unique and specially designed slipcase unavailable anywhere else."
That leaves me deeply impressed. That's all I ever wanted.
Who needs unreleased songs, videos, or rehearsals anyway?
I think I'll buy three of them.

The D&P Atmos Blu-ray from 2023 doesn't have any bonuses either, so at least you can say they're consistent.

My take is that this is the first release to be announced. They will keep the SDE announcement until the celebration and make a big thing about it

true but D&P got a SDE where all that stuff was on released around the same time
