I think a re-release of Strange Tales From The Rain would be
pointless. I'd rather see a remastered version of the album 'as
is' coupled with an extra disc of extended versions and b-sides,
and maybe a third disc of the associated artist's tracks from
the movie plus some outtakes and incidental music.

Yes, that could be cool too, except that maybe another three-disc release might be a bad idea? Elton John wasn't the only one complaining about that following Emancipation and Crystal Ball - and to the public at large, those are possibly the last Prince albums they are aware of. hmm

But either way, I think any kind of special release will remain a fanboys dream, because I doubt very much that Prince will give WB anything they haven't already got. So if we're REALLY lucky, maybe we'll get the ordinary album with some B-sides and 12" versions added, like the series of ABBA re-releases from a couple of years back that had all the B-sides added to their corresponding albums.

sigh

But if it's done properly - like with the Abba releases - that COULD be kinda cool too, though.

And then Dame Elton went and released a three cd album himself last november. Hipocrit

It were proper bo I tell the!! Bo Selecta!
