[Gutten 143]

After watching and listing to the last one, I decided that time is way too precious to waste it on the next one.

Warner just announced this:

 

 

Purple Rain Tour with the COMPLETE live audio on 3 LPS, 2 CDs, and a newly remastered Blu-ray. All for $119.

 

If only they do something like this for all Madonna's reissues, I would gladly pay top dollar. 

The Prince estate has been releasing the most magnificent stuff lately, Madonna needs new manager I think. That being said, I am sick of nothing but Purple Rain releases.

Or she simply needs to butt out and let a team of talented people put all these together. I can't help but blame her for delays as she works so slowly.

Sorry but not, now the entire prince  catalog (except for the soundtrack ones) belongs to Sony Legacy ?

Oh really? Oops

 

Welp.... Still a great template for them to use.

This new Prince release is been criticized by his fans cause it was already released on digital by Warner some years ago, the video version too, so it's nothing new... just "remastered" and with nice packaging.

Fans expected another expanded Deluxe edition of an album with unreleased stuff, etc... but they're getting the same old material aimed to grab some general public money too.

So every fandom has their own battles.

Also, seems like Emily is doing upscales for Prince material now too:

 I'm happy for her!

As a Prince fan I am getting fucking tired of these endless Purple Rain releases, does the estate realize he has tons of other amazing albums.

Me too - I was hoping for anything but another purple rain release seeing as he has about half a dozen other tours yet to receive a release ? What with M flogging her dead horse of frozen remixes still and no other news I’ve given up with Prince and Madonna and Warner’s can suck my wallet ?

[Roland Barthes 4,102]

Prince Estate made a huge mistake going to Sony. The 2022 pressing of his albums are overpriced, xeroxed sleeves and no remaster. Thankfully Warner will still be able to release Parade as it's a soundtrack but the vault material will probably be not as rich as on the superb 1999 & SOTT deluxe versions released by Warner. I wonder if Troy Carter is still in charge of curating the Vault now that Warner lost the rights to the catalogue.

[Italians Do It Better 2,638]

Why the hell is the estate neglecting Prince's early period so much? We need reissues and remastered concerts from 1977 to 1982. That covers the albums For You, Prince Self Titled, Dirty Mind and Controversy.

Exactly.  The one reissue I have been longing for. They keep skipping over it.  There was talk of it coming this year but who knows. I have an original pressing of the record but I want something deluxe lol

Same here. I want a proper deluxe edition of Diamonds & Pearls.

Never understood all the fans moaning like they're being forced to buy every release. The record companies are there to make money after all. The more they make, the more they'll release. Simples.

[steady75 7,548]

Prince fans are being spoiled rotten so they better dont on that one.

We got....a £50 sleeve. 

[BringUrLUV 1,080]

It's April & still no word on the remix album that the cover was already chosen supposedly. No news on it even.

Still nothing on the re-issues.  

Just reductive tik tok remixes.

I'm bored lol

I think the reissues will start from the 40th anniversary of Everybody, first week of October to be exact.

Maybe we will get GHV2 with the radio edit Of Impressive Instant and the unreleased new songs recorded for GHV2.

Still cannot believe what a mess Celebration was. I don’t hate the project and quite like the focus on immaculate plus and lack of ballads but Give It 2 Me and Deeper & Deeper were utterly robbed. 
unforgivable especially the later. 
that near 6+ minute version of Holiday… no maaam.

And let's pray Celebration will be deleted and NEVER be reissued again in any form such as LP or CD since her fans hate it so much!

* Praying hard *

I don't hate Celebration, just a shame it wasn't perfect.
