New Prince Vault Release Announced w/ 5.1/Atmos Blu Ray of a 2011 Show

[Tintin]

Come on, man ... it’s a total money grab by the estate. There is a REASON Prince never released this stuff ... it’s just muddying the water ... in my opinion. Love the man - he was a genius and I was privileged to see him live twice ... but releasing these ‘vault’ recordings are going to do his legacy a disservice. Also - his output over the last few years was spotty at best ...

I won’t be falling for it.

Good 60 Minutes piece, though.

Yeah great 60 Minutes show overall. For me it's about seeing another period of Prince in a BD concert, as to the sound quality, that's yet to be heard. But I never question the man's drive and ability to put on a great show. He was a bit like Roy Batty I suppose, "the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long and you burned so very very brightly Prince"...

So, JP, was Prince a REPLICANT? But I did enjoy the part where Prince forgot the combination to his vault.......priceless!

he sure wasn't normal, that's for certain!

I see Popmarket has it listed for $85.79 and free shipping.

I don't recall ordering through Popmarket before
https://www.popmarket.com/welcome-2-america-deluxe-2-lp-1-cd-1-blu-ray/194398661612
Here's importCDs, $90.08- but are they free shipping and what about taxes? (and since I'll have to eat Vinyl on this T.O.M.B.S., I want the lowest price I can get for GOS sakes!)

For the record (lmao), my total price would be as follows:

ImportCD - $98.70
Popmarket - $91.15

Pop & Import are owned by the same company.

Wow! That’s good to know. A penny saved is a penny earned.

Well, at least with that Cali Sales Tax, JP, you ARE contributing to the 5th Largest Economy IN THE WORLD!

BAD HAIR DAY?

Well I thought this was interesting. An interview with the archivist/producer of the new Prince album:

Great read, SW ..... Glad to hear that I'm not the ONLY ONE who's disorganized at cataloging my unruly music/video collection!

Since ALL Prince's MULTI~TRACK master tapes presumably reside in the actual vault [and 'pre~vault'] and with other major artists releasing in surround, wonder if we'll EVER be privy to Prince's classic Warner Brother output in 5.1 or ATMOS. Probably a ways off since the Purple One's output was probably one of the most prodigious of any other artist in Rock or Pop history I conceivably know of!

Hardly a 'sucker' for SURROUND! His BAD!!!!!

I found another slightly older interview with Michael Howe in regards to Prince material. I think there are some good questions asked here & some insightful replies. Read far enough & you'll see the topic of access to multi-track tapes & 5.1 surround addressed:

NO WONDER THEY CALL YOU THE WIZ. Nice Read!

SDE: Because it’s reasonably common these days – perhaps more in prog rock circles – if you’ve got a multi-disc boxset to maybe put a blu-ray or a DVD in there and put a 5.1 mix, you know, as part of the overall offering…

MH: Yes. I mean, there are guys obviously guys who do it very well, like Steven Wilson…

PRINCE Being mixed into 5.1 [or ATMOS] by Steve Wilson ...... A true marriage MADE IN HEAVEN.

His engineer said Prince told him something to the effect of- I want this album to sound light an airy coming through the speakers; whatever that means.
Just hope I like the songs, or it might be “Praise the lord and pass the peas, where’s Maceo “

I've ordered a lot of stuff from CD Japan over the years. But that wouldn't occur to me looking for a Prince album. How come?
At any rate you may the first here to get that album. Keep us informed. Thanks!
