The first remastered Prince disc...

Rumor has it that it's going to happen in July. I'm pretty sure we all know what it's going to be. No word yet on how many discs or the expanded material. Has anyone else heard this? Boris?

It's all but confirmed that it's gonna be Purple Rain, right? There have been rumblings about this since last fall.

What else would it be? Hopefully there will be plans for more.

Certainly SOTT, 1999, Batman and D&P.

Hopefully Lovesexy, Parade, ATWIAD, Dirty Mind and Symbol(non clean version).

A remastered disc doesn't necessarily have expanded material on it, does it? Sometimes it's just the same album but with improved sound quality through modern transfer techniques.

They would need access to the original tapes - you would have thought Prince would have them stored away somewhere - whether or not he has the RIGHTS to his masters, he may well have the master tapes physicaly in his possession - in which case, Warners would still have to ask him permission to use them, perhaps?
