Let's hope this brings some actual news and not vague promises.

Thanks for this placeholder thread. I guess that's the thing most of us are the most interested in.

Today, 2pm-4pm Minneapolis time.

well I guess that gives us the sunday to lick our wounds.

2:00pm-4:00pm - The Vault & Future Plans Panel.

2:00pm =

Guys, we've listened to your feedback we hear you. As a consequence we are doubling down on cushion, wellies and coffee cups. Also, we have planned out the next 10 versions of Purple Rain for you all to buy.

From an insider...a lot of useless blah blah blah...just ideas... useless talkings but not details on future releases...no PR SDE announced ...or announcements of something no details..no specific project announced ..plan etc..or whatever ..just a possible release of something around the album ATWIAD... well... it's depressing!!!

ouch

Two and a half years of people saying "be patient, just give them a chance!" and here we are. Anyone still defending Londell and Charles at this point is worse than Charlie Brown running at the damn football.

CaseyRain just tweeted:

"Ok so the Vault and Future Plans panel was amazing. We had Londell, Charles, Johnny Nelson and Zach from Sony on the stage and a LOT was discussed: Main takeaways: The Estate wants to get to a much more regular cadence of releases of different sizes Possibility of ATWIAD reissue soon! Piano & A Mic release looks likely along with Parade 10th anniversary Lots of breakdown of their process between Estate and Sony and how they approach things Very transparent and lots of audience questions were answered! Netflix situation discussed at length and we should all be grateful it was canned - the approach was NOT IT and was totally disrespectful to P. Multiple documentaries to come - could be with multiple partners"

I see. A big disappoinment. The ATWIAD reissue is mocking.

I do not understand what "Piano & A Mic release" means related to Parade.

So in other words, it was a bunch of vague ideas and empty promises as reported. Londell and Charles could shit on a paper plate and give it to Casey and he'd call it "revolutionary" and "a true honor"

let's see how this goes

All of these promises are still very vague. Remember: these are the people who promised a reissue of Chaka Khan's Come 2 My House and they couldn't manage that.

.

Note also the absence of that "new" album Chaka announced earlier this year. (Which I assume is just a reissue of C2MH and not a bunch of previously unreleased sonsg from those sessions.)

"Wants to", "possibility", "looks likely"...

So, after all these years at the helm, Chuck and MakesMillions still have nothing to offer fans, aside from the snide remarks on social media and second-rate merchandise.

These two couldn't raffle a chook in a pub, let alone bring it to market.

I'm so pessimistic now that it sounds to me like: album, single B-sides and the extended versions of Raspberry Beret, Paisley Park and America.
