Susan rogers back in January during an interview for a conference in Montreal has declared that at that time she was contacted as a consultant by WBR/The Estate to work on 1982 Material specifically for an album...she gave them some advices only because she couldnt work on it much more than that...she had other 1st priorities!
Take this for what it is! [Edited 5/3/18 23:34pm] | |

wait: what if it was the Dawn (1986) album or project? maybe it was further along that we know? Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them. | |

I am one of those fans that thinks that, by and large, Prince put his best material on the albums he released. Certainly in the 80s. Whilst there are many gems amongst the leaked outtakes, and I have made a gazzilion playlists out of them that I thought would have made a great album, none of those playlists were better than the album that actually was released. So unless there really are whole albums that got shelved that we have not heard about, it is going to be very tough to release something as good as what was officially released at the time. In the 80s anyway. I mean how do you top 1999, PR, SOTT, Parade or Lovesexy? Answer - you don't unless there really is something special Prince held back on that was never leaked. | |

Exactly this. This is why it's so important for them to engage with us. They aren't going to know what's leaked heavily and been around for years and what hasn't. | |

Exactly, in the video game world Ubisolf would send a survey by mail to fans of Assassin's Creed for their input on future releases. I see no reason why the Prince Estate\ WBR can't do the same. It can only help gadge what the fanbase wants. | |

What were the results of it again? until then i'll pretend this fuchsia light is god... | |

. How will we get this embedded in 'the Estate's' unrevealed strategy for releasing vault materials? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill | |

Honestly, as far as video games are concerned that's a really horrible idea. You have to trust your own creative instincts and avoid listening to external voices too much.
Aside from the fact that the AC series have been creatively stagnant for a long time, I find that generally if you ask fans what they want, they'll mostly just name stuff they've already played. No one don't really know what they want unti it is in front of them.
Going back to Prince, a point made on the recent Peach and Black podcast had the ring of truth to me - it isn't about satisfying a small but vocal community of hardcore Prince fans who have a zillion bootlegs. It's about turning Prince's musical legacy into money. I think we should absolutely expect stuff to be released that is already "out there". | |

. - How big is the market for these old Prince tapes for the 'normal' fan/fam/* ? - How big is the market for these old Prince tapes for the hardcore fan? . Please keep in mind that the 'normal' fan is harder to convince and has less to spend. Please keep in mind that the hardcore fan is already convinced and is willing to buy it all. I do not know the sizes of these markets, be it in persons or in fiat dollars. It's just a way of finding some sort of middle road to maxmize profit$.

Just wanna say, as a hardcore fan who's mostly avoided boots, I wanna be able to buy all the stuff that you guys are currently taking for granted. As mentioned upthread, if y'all spoiled yourselves over the years, that's on you. But I'd wager there's a large portion of us fans who don't have everything (anything?) that you have, and we wanna slap our money down for it. | |

Led Zeppelin did that recently for reissues. Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them. | |

If anyone from WBR or the estate is reading this, for the love of God please don't release a $1000 box set reissue of one album | |

What? I thought they were like half that? But it looks great but they have some junk that seems worthless. But I like that vinyl 2 disk idea. Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them. | |

Actually, the Guns N Roses set is pretty much exactly the model the Estate should do for remasters.
The $1000 set is the super deluxe one which comes in a custom designed art box made of wood, leather and painted.
95% of the contents available in the $1000 version are also in the regular deluxe version, which is around $180, and all of the actual music is available in the regular version which is $20 or $30.

Certain band members have said that they have recorded complete albums with Prince that have never been released. So, it could be a whole album that nobody has heard since its creation or NOT! LOL 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

Yeah if you are going to do something, overdo it. People can decide which set is for them. There are $800 lego sets (well one for the Millenium Falcon). I would be tempted to pay $1000...but I would end up getting the lower cost one. But YES the estate and WB needs to take a look at this GnR set. Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them. | |

yet others want all that junk (and I agree most of that stuff in the GnR set is junk even the 7" singles... hell the vinal is worthess to me... and the picls, and rigngs, and on and on is nothing I would want... but some will) Anyone for banning the AR15 must be on the side of the criminal as once banned only criminals will have them. | |

Whose fault is it that we have a bunch of bootlegs? Not the estate's. And just because something has been heavily leaked shouldn't mean the law-abiding public wont ever get the chance to hear it. There needs to be two separate release strategies. One for general consumption and one for us, the self-important fans. We'll complain and buy it all anyway. | |
