Is there a clue that an SDE of The Black Album is next?

I noticed there were some activity going on the internet, that the estate is clearly marketing the Black Album Era.

1) Nothing has been released for years ( nothing, like the void, like the Black, like the Black album)
2) The Netflix deal has been cancelled by the estate. If you withdraw, symbolically, The big red N from the Netflix logo, there is only the Black color left. Black, like the Black album.

Have you noticed that too lately?

and just like the original release of the black album, the sde release will be canceled.

still, there's always hope that it will be released 7 years later, as part of a settlement
package deal between PW, WB and CharLon parting ways.

Don't forget that it should be bootlegged in shitty quality on cassette tapes first.

ah I fondly recall the days when padded envelopes would arrive in the mail,
containing cassettes with unreleased prince tracks and live concert bootlegs.

Last night, the night was pitch 'black'!

No stars!

No moon!

And, yesterday eve I heard '2 Niggs United 4 West Compton' on my random play.

Plus this morning, another random play; 'Alphabet St.' ("Don't Buy The Black Album, I'm Sorry"), and, I randomly grabbed black socks, ànd some black underwear, had black coffee.

On my way to work I saw two black cars in an accident.

OMFG!

All signs that there MUST be a 10CD's SDE of TBA soon to be released!!!

I heard there is a new telescope in Chile, investigating black holes. Surely a marketing coupe of the estate - "Brought to you from outta space - the Black Album"

What could possibly go on a deluxe version
let alone a super deluxe. 🤷‍♂️
Sign O The Times and Lovesexy outtakes.
Should of been a Reissue vinyl for RSD.

They really need to complete the SOTT SDE with this additional remastered release. That album sounds as shit as SOTT did.

I would be super happy to see a double Black/Lovesexy release. I mean, it's not far from the story he was telling during that tour. Dark vs Light, Good vs Evil.

they've been trying to restore and upgrade the "When 2 R In Love" video but there are many problems, it seems neutral

problem is only that there isn't a lot more stuff from The Black Album 'session' that hasn't been
released. perhaps a few alternate takes or a longer version of some songs.

apart from that only "walking in glory" was ever considered for it and you could say that with a
stretch, for a reissue, you could say that "cosmic day" sort of slots into it's general 'era'.

That's fine...why not just get us a remastered album? I'm sure they had Chris James, Nik Bolas and maybe others who remastered most or key albums in this discography already. They were paying them so surely they worked on far more than what's been released.

Bingo - throw in 2 discs of outtakes, and the Livesexy concert, Small Club, and you got a great story to tell for the Official Podcast and there'd be a ton of press about "Prince's most mysterious album".

I agree and it's definitely an idea the estate should consider.

well, the official wb press blurb for the 1994 release actually stated that this version
of When 2 R In Love would be completely different from the one on Lovesexy.

so the fuck ups keep stackin' up.
