A new EP of unreleased music is getting released 4/20. It's only $5.34 on Amazon MP3 but it's also only 16 minutes long.quote:DELIVERANCE features six previously unreleased tracks: "Deliverance," "Man Opera," which includes a four-movement medley: "I Am," "Touch Me," "Sunrise Sunset," "No One Else;" and an extended version of "I Am." The songs were written and recorded when Prince was an independent artist, protesting what he saw as an unjust music industry. In the spirit of that independence, and in supporting Prince's opinion of major label contracts, DELIVERANCE is being released independently via RMA, a Vancouver, WA based record company. The majority of all sales of DELIVERANCE will benefit Prince's estate. Also the estate is suing him. lol quote:Paisley Park and Prince's estate are teaming up in a federal lawsuit against sound engineer and mixer George Ian Boxill who is holding unpublished Prince tracks and threatening to release them, according to court documents. also the $30 million UMG deal regarding his vault is imploding thanks to Prince signing away most of his rights in 2014 along with giving Warner Bros the ability to veto any new release using vault material recorded before 1995. UMG didn't know this and now want a full refund. lol again Please talk about : - Prince - Prince related news - Associates of Prince - Posthumous releases - Past live shows - Tributes - Bootlegs - Paisley Park - New merchandise - Legal proceedings - Cool songs/albums you just heard and want to discuss - Anything else in the purple universe Please don't talk about : - prince was murdered, there's thieves in the temple - your trivia team Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Apr 19, 2017 |

Has anyone been to Paisley Park yet? A friend and I wanna do a pilgrimage sometime this summer. Any other stereotypical Prince road trip spots to hit up? First avenue, Lake Minnetonka, any others?

Lol at that guy 'completing the compositions'. So there's a bunch of really sketchy Price vocals that this guy had and has decided to finish them, 'Free As A Bird' style.

According to some at the org, he added choir to the title track while people from the estate watched. Apparently where he went wrong was going rogue and attempting to bust through the red tape by releasing it independently on the 1st anniversary without their approval. The whole thing is in the wild and it sounds like something Prince would've put together. Biggest flaw with the whole EP is the guy trying to treat the 'suite' as four different songs when it's clearly one piece of work. - edit Oh, he replaced vocals from The Twinz with the choir. lol https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3673521-Affidavit-Boxill-Notarized.html Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Apr 19, 2017 |

Also a tracklist for Purple Rain: Deluxe Edition leaked out. quote:Disc 1: Purple Rain (2015 Paisley Park Remaster) http://variety.com/2017/music/news/prince-purple-rain-deluxe-tracklist-leaks-1202390479/ Pretty disappointing over all compared to the other tracklist that was rumored but Disc 3 plus the concerts are worth the price of admission. - edit A guy on the org had this to say. quote:I ask you to have some trust in this post; please be aware that my sources have asked to shed some light on the leaked tracklist: quote:In addition, we can be sure that 1 of the DVD's will contain the Syracuse 1985 show, transferred from the 1" master reel, with restored and remastered audio. Not the Video or Laserdisc you may have... quote:Our Destiny contains Lisa´s vocals / Roadhouse Garden contains Prince´s vocals.

Wow, are the prince.org forums populated by the biggest bunch of whingers or what? If it's not complaints that the PR deluxe edition has too many songs they already have as 12th generation cassette tape bootlegs and is therefore worthless, it's complaints about how many discussion threads there are and who has the right to post news. What an utterly baffling place. The bootleg thing is particularly funny, because they alternate between boasting that they already have the bootlegs of music that's getting an official release, and arguing about whether it's ok for the record companies to release the stuff because Prince must have had a reason to vault it. Apparently you can have it both ways in their world!

Setlist from setlist.fm below: Computer Blue America Mountains Automatic Take Me With U Uptown D.M.S.R. Our Destiny/Roadhouse Garden Raspberry Beret Erotic City Let's Work 1999 Paisley Park Controversy Sometimes It Snows in April Let's Go Crazy Delirious Kiss When Doves Cry Purple Rain Encore: I Would Die 4 U Baby I'm a Star Definite highlight of the evening was that Wendy and Lisa did an acoustic version of Sometimes it Snows in April. The audience got super quiet for it and Wendy started crying at the "I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there" so the audience sang for her

Two new boots dropped today. A new source on the final Atlanta show and I'd argue it's a soundboard. It's pretty close to the quality of the Black Sweat single on Tidal. (- edit spoke too soon. Dark has alot of audience noise on the beginning of it) A boxset called The Flesh Sessions. Alot of it is repackaged stuff that's already available but it has a 60 minute uncut version of Junk Music plus some other instrumental tracks/extended versions.

Saw Prince at his last show (and only?) show at the Target Center in Minneapolis. For how good his music is he was an even better performer. It went like two hours over the advertised time and the encore had Shiela E.! Then he went and played another five hours at First Ave.

El Gallinero Gros posted:In fairness the fact that Warner might still own some of the rights is pretty significant Apparently it goes deeper than that and even the estate is trying to undo the deal now. The whole situation's a real mess. ________ New info about Purple Rain Deluxe from the org. quote:Out of the eleven tracks, only five tracks are connected to the "Purple Rain" project. "Computer Blue" ("Hallway Speech" version), "Fathers Song","Electric Intercourse" (studio),"Possessed (1983 version)"-side note- this 1983 version is false. In actuality, its the re-record from March 17th,1984. How can they get this information wrong. They're Warner Brothers for christ sakes. quote:And let me counter that by saying that this isn't entirely true. No one had "Electric Intercourse," this version of "Katrina's Paper Dolls," " We Can gently caress," and the incredible movie version of "Father's Song." I can't get too into it but don't forget the family also had a say and although yes I'm a professional and have worked on over 800 albums, reissues, boxed sets, dvds etc, I am also a fan and did consult on this project. You obviously have heard the music and I agree with you that Father's Song is the most amazing thing on there. There is also some amazing (never seen) visual stuff that I helped provide and more priceless stuff in the packaging (I'll let that to WB to reveal). Let's don't attack my friend who produced this either, I'm sure you have some idea of what it's like dealing with anything Prince related? Never easy, in life or death.

The entire thing has leaked. The Vault disc is SOOOOOOO good. Love & Sex (which opens with the same stinger that was used for Possessed[?] live), Katrina's Paper Dolls, We Can gently caress, Electric Intercourse are probably my favorites but there isn't a dud on that disc. The remaster of the original album isn't bad and the audio with the concert video is on point. But if you listen to the idiots at the Org, Purple Rain is brickwalled, Vault disc is meh, singles disc is flawed and the DVD is a bootleg VHS rip
