Yesterday there were official news about the long-awaited Deluxe edition of Prince's second best selling album "1999" from 1982!
It is due on November 15th, and will come in several formats, both CD and vinyl.
In short, a 6-disc Super Deluxe set (4 CDs of studio music, 1 live CD and 1 live DVD), its vinyl counterpart has 10 vinyls.
Also a 2-CD and 1-CD edition, plus vinyl counterparts.
The 6-disc Super Deluxe is probably the most interesting for most fans.
CD 1 has the original 11-track album, CD 2 has lots of single/promo-only edits plus three three B-sides,
CD 3-4 has unreleased tracks! CD 5 is a live concert (30 Nov 1982) and Disc 6 is a live concert DVD (29 Dec 82).

I only have a few complaints/suggestions:
A few known unreleased tracks are missing (such as Extra Lovable), I wonder why they did not include them?
Also, I wish they had placed the three B-sides together on CD 1 (especially "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore")
as they get kind of lost among the many many 7" edits. And hmm who wants to listen to two radio-edits in mono??
And finally they could have placed the 9 single edits in "LP order" and inserted the two missing LP tracks, and thus give fans an opportunity to experience
what the album would have sounded like if it was a single LP instead of a double LP...
But all in all, a great Box!!
