How to be pleased:

Think of the Estate as a bootleg label that happens to have occasional and exclusive access to source tapes. Like Supermarket Sweep for Prince music where they only have 28 seconds to put as many songs into their cart as possible.

Btw, I don't know how true it is but they say that the Parade SDE has already been canceled. Hope that's not true.

Who is "they"?

I’m definitely going to buy this release, even though I’m disappointed that we’re not getting more than this. It’s important to support Timeless, or we can forget about any future vault releases, and we might only get a single every now and then.

Bro I'm sorry to tell you this but there's not going to be any future vault releases regardless of how this sells

These clowns couldn't have an original thought to save their lives. I said over five years ago, there should be a compilation album called Timeless. But that was obviously referring to Prince's version of Time tracks. These morons can't even rip off a good idea correctly. The level of incompetence is truly something to behold.

Would genuinely take that over this. But Llondel thinks he can force a sudden organic growth in mass appeal. Rather than appealing to the people who're actually interested.

"SUNDAY 6/7

12:00pm - 1:00pm Exclusive Unreleased Music Listening Session" - Paisley Park

---

"Timeless will be available digitally, on CD and in multiple vinyl configurations, including a limited-edition Purple Marble
pressing available directly through Prince’s official channels. Meanwhile, fans attending this week’s Prince Celebration in
Minneapolis will get a first crack at the new music. The annual gathering, taking place through Sunday (June 7) across
Paisley Park studio and downtown Minneapolis, will offer listening sessions, archival presentations and discussions with
Prince collaborators centered around the newly unveiled recordings." - Spin

I have a question:

.

Can any super-fans verify that the cover photo is an actual photo? It looks very AI to me.

Is this image AI? Does anyone know the source of the picture?

One cuff looks flared the other doesn't. The collar, the cheekbone, the torso looks bigger than he was? Though granted it could be an optical illusion with this arms positioned how they are. The guitar not being the Symbol or cloud... The upper horn of the guitar is typically longer than the bottom? At the very least that's been edited out.

Obviously I'm old now and suspect everything is AI.

Ok, more information has come through and whilst the 4 four pages of this have been understandably negative, this is going to change the vibe.

The estate has announced that in addition to the 10 tracks available on the CD and vinyl, there is a Timeless tote bag available for purchase.

Fuck, only $25? I have no choice but to buy 10 of them now! Thanks Londell!

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a screengrab and not an actual photo. And then they enhanced the screengrab with filters.

anyone preorder it yet?

So why use the Parade picture on the celebration poster is they're not even gonna release the Parade album until next year? Speaking of which, I'll take the Parade as the last SDE if that was possible. Anyways like Miles Davis said on one of his interviews on the Prince interactive game.."A little something beats a whole lot of nothing".

.

They're gonna celebrate Parade by... lemme check my notes... showing UTCM. You know, that movie you can watch in your own home on Blu-ray. Real exclusive shit.

.

Perhaps there's a Parade-era outtake in the listening session? Perhaps they'll show the second half of the final Tokyo 1986 gig (they showed the first half some years ago)?
