This is good news. Would be great news if there was some remastering involved.

I'm only interested in re-releases if they're properly remastered.

An album called Piano & A Microphone 1983 will be released on September 21.
Recorded in 1983 at Prince's Kiowa Trail home studio in Chanhassen, MN & engineered by Don Batts, Piano & A Microphone 1983 is a nine track, 35-minute album features a previously unreleased home studio cassette recording of Prince at his piano. The private rehearsal provides a rare, intimate glimpse into Prince's creative process as he worked through songs which include 17 Days and Purple Rain (neither of which would be released until 1984), a cover of Joni Mitchell's A Case Of You, Strange Relationship (not released until 1987 on his critically acclaimed Sign O' The Times album), and International Lover. The album also includes a rare recording of the 19th Century spiritual Mary Don't You Weep, featured during the end credits of Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman. For fans of Prince s spontaneous live medleys, tracks 1-7 of the album are presented in that same format as they were originally recorded.
Tracklisting: 1. 17 Days 2. Purple Rain 3. A Case Of You 4. Mary Don't You Weep 5. Strange Relationship 6. International Lover 7. Wednesday 8. Cold Coffee & Cocaine 9. Why The Butterflies

All his post 1995 albums are available now on streaming services.
The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is not available in the Gold Experience. Very odd. Especially since it was his last big pop hit.

I read somewhere that it was due to the 20+ year old plagiarism claim in Europe that still hasn’t been settled yet. It was made unavailable to stream on Tidal about a month ago but was available to stream before then. A new compilation called Anthology 1995 - 2010 was released digitally also. Anthology features most of the singles from that period, some fan favorites and popular album tracks. Anthology excludes the singles from Emancipation (only the title track is featured) which is a bit strange imo, since the singles from that album performed better stateside than the ones from TGE.

I’m really excited to stream to all of the 1995-2010 albums! Especially “emancipation”.
A little disappointed about the absence of “the most beautiful girl” but, oh well.

Prince’s estate to release ‘Originals’ album of unreleased demos Apr 25, 2019 7:30 am BST
It features the original versions of the iconic hits he wrote for other artists.
Prince‘s estate has confirmed the release of a new 15 track album, featuring the original versions of the iconic hits that he penned for other artists.
The ‘Originals’ LP will stream on Tidal from June 7th – 20th, beforea physical release via Warner Bros follows on June 21st.
Largely comprised of songs from Prince’s ‘Vault’ recordings, it spans the period from 1981 and 1991 and includes his original takes on Sheila E.’s ‘The Glamorous Life’ and the Bangles’ ‘Manic Monday.’
Other lesser heard tracks include his version of Vanity 6’s ‘Make-Up’and Kenny Rogers’ ‘You’re My Love.’
The record closes with Prince’s original version of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U,’ which became a worldwide hit for Sinead O’Connor in 1990.
All the tracks on ‘Originals’ were also hand-picked by Jay-Z and influential music manager Troy Carter. You can check out the tracklisting in full below.
01 Sex Shooter (1983) 02 Jungle Love (1983) 03 Manic Monday (1984) 04 Noon Rendezvous (1984) 05 Make-Up (1981) 06 100 MPH (1984) 07 You’re My Love (1982) 08 Holly Rock (1985) 09 Baby, You’re a Trip (1982) 10 The Glamorous Life (1983) 11 Gigolos Get Lonely Too (1982) 12 Love… Thy Will Be Done (1991) 13 Dear Michelangelo (1985) 14 Wouldn’t You Love to Love Me? (1981) 15 Nothing Compares 2 U (1984)
The record announcement comes only days after the cover to Prince’s memoirs was revealed. The book, which will be published on October 29 by Random House, in partnership with Prince’s estate features a picture of the icon in his younger days holding a camera. Plans for the book were first revealed in March 2016, and it was being worked on by Prince until his death the following month.

Ugh was hoping for good quality versions of “Do Yourself a Favor” and “If I Love U 2Nite” too.

They did a good job cleaning up the demos. I was worried it was going to sound like the low quality demos that have been floating around forever.. a few of them still do but the majority of them sound good.

A deluxe edition of "1999" is rumored to be coming out this fall. I hope the rumor is true, I would love to hear high quality versions of "Extraloveable" (The 1981/2 version) and "Purple Music"

Haven’t listened yet but the Target edition includes a bonus 'Cinematic Mix' of NC2U. It’s shorter than the album version and has strings from Clare Fischer. It’s like a mix of the original version by The Family and the album version

Prince is my #1 artist of all time, but Originals is unnecessary.

Seriously though, it is worth having just because it is so beautifully made. I have the Prince coffee table book of photos as well. My Rihanna book arrives tomorrow. I am going nuts with coffee table books LOL.
