PRINCE remasters - finally!

[discoginfo]

I read somwhere that it's now a November (Xmas) release, as he has two new albums out right now. I feel that is a good thing as all of these releases are by a "real" and major record Company so we can expect something big, and hopefully deluxe and special editions.

I think that they've been quietly put on hold indefinitely.

[blaaah]

Nah. Why the cynicism? He has two cds coming out on Warners, i think theyve just been put back for the new ones.

I was a huge fan of Prince's music from 1980-1993ish and then once in a while after that he would real me back in. But I always admired and respected his musicianship and songwriting talents. Hearing of his death was surprising and sadenning.

During the course of the day I too recalled the 2014 announcement by Warners regarding these reissues and wondered if they might finally see a release. It is probably too soon to speculate, but at least from a "business" perspective it would make sense. I just hope if and when they do materialize they are top notch quality and honor the artistic integrity Prince cultivated and maintained throughout his career.

I still think they should do two versions of Purple Rain:
- a purely Prince and the Revolution release, with extended versions and b-sides
- a soundtrack version, with tracks by The Time, Apollonia 6, and Dez Dickerson and the Modernaires

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that the Prince remasters are not going to happen in the near future. It was announched today that Prince was a bad manager over his music. It also had a lot to do with different names over his music, a bad relationship with Warners, his own Paisley Park label etc.

By the way ... I hope that I'm wrong

Both of those are bootlegs. Amazes me how amazon get away with selling bootlegs on their site.

It says they are from radio broadcasts. Who knows, perhaps these are legit, after all? Or perhaps you are right.
