And the rumor for a while has been that D&P is the next deluxe re-issue. Which I hope it's not. Cute era and all, but he has way more important eras that need to be fleshed out (and remastered especially). Interesting. I agree with you that there are more important eras, but doing them all at first would also lead to a decline in interest after they're released. Maybe this is a way to sustain interest?

Not feeling the title track but even the worst Prince albums have 1-2 songs I love so I’m certain there will be something here for me to enjoy.
As for the remastered reissues, D&P turns 30 this year so it’s not surprising that they would line it up next.

I LOVED the throwback “Prince” sound of 20Ten so I’m interested in hearing the album since it was originally the follow-up before being shelved.
“1000 Light Years...”, “Hot Summer” and “When She Comes” have all been previously released in some way,shape,form,variation etc.
D&P is his 3rd(?) best selling album overall so I’m not surprised that a super deluxe is possibly in the works.
The Come/Beautiful/Gold/C&D era is far more musically interesting but I digress.

As for the remastered reissues, D&P turns 30 this year so it’s not surprising that they would line it up next. That anniversary is in less than 5 months. It seems like some of the other re-issues were announced farther ahead than 4-5 months, but maybe not. More so with this other release in July I guess it makes sense to let that release have its moment. D&P is his 3rd(?) best selling album overall so I’m not surprised that a super deluxe is possibly in the works. Based on RIAA certs: Purple Rain - 13 million (not certified since 1996) 1999 - 4 million (not certified since...1999) Diamonds and Pearls - 2 million (not certified since 1992) Around the World in a Day - 2 million Emancipation - 2 million Batman - 2 million Musicology - 2 million

I like it! Haven't been into much of the unreleased material his estate has released over the past few years, but I like this one. A pleasant surprise since it was recorded during a career low in my opinion.

Maybe this one has been around awhile and I just hadn't heard it, but I'm really digging "If It'll Make U Happy" off the 1999 deluxe.

Preview of "Hot Summer" now available on TikTok He performed it in 2010. No verses when he performed it... not sure about the studio recording.

There's a few songs on here I'll revisit, but it definitely falls into the mire that was the last half of his career. And there's only a handful of outright stinkers, which is pretty good for this period.
I'm just mad at his estate for shoving the Blu-Ray into a deluxe edition I really didn't want, they can kiss my @ss for that one. And they claim this album didn't require any additional mixing/production, but looking at the co-production credits on here, I don't believe it for a second.

I like it well enough. A couple songs I'll probably continue to play (I love "Born 2 Die" especially), which was typical for his releases for me in the last several years of his career..

hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=327586&title=NEW-RELEASES%253A-BILLIE%2527S-BACKSaturday, July 31, 2021 NEW RELEASES: BILLIE'S BACKDarkroom/Interscope's Billie Eilish will see her sophomore release, Happier Than Ever, land atop the HITS Top 50 next Friday. The album is projected to do 200-225k. Her previous full-length, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, opened with 313k in April 2019. Of that total, nearly a third came from now-disallowed ticket and D2C bundles. Physical sales will make up about 50% of Happier's first-week total thanks largely to vinyl. Major retailers are stocking exclusive versions in colors like sage green, pale yellow and opaque sienna. Happier’s pre-street ATD is just over 400k. Billie Eilish (Darkroom/Interscope): 200-225k total activity, 130-140k albums Prince (Legacy): 45-50k, 43-47k

Hopefully they’ll announce the super deluxe reissue for this Fall. I’m hoping for Diamonds & Pearls.

So far not being moved much by the new album.... :( I have to say I'm listening to it while I work so it's not getting my full attention. Another day I will have perhaps to go walking with the headphones on to fully appreciate it and decide if I like it or not.

The album FINALLY today started clicking for me. I think it can continue growing in me with more listens. I could end up liking it. I don't find it ground breaking or different at all. So far to me it's just revisiting stuff he's done before with songs of other albums throughout the years.

As a first single I wonder why they didn't go for something more catchy/commercial like 1000 Light Years From Here. I mean if they wanted to catch more attention from people. The marketing campaign wasn't bad, but who knows... 1000 could've made it bigger perhaps. The fact is that there are many Prince albums with which fans were left scratching their heads confused about the first single choice...

Any word on the Super Deluxe for 2021? Online rumors were saying it was going to be ‘Diamonds & Pearls’ but I’m also seeing the W2A may be the last release for 2021. Any updates?

Yeah, word on the street for a while has been D&P. This just got put up on his social media accounts, could just be celebrating the album's anniversary tomorrow, or maybe they're announcing something? https://www.instagram.com/p/CUcxiOKlCzp

I was so sure D&P was coming this year for the 30th anniversary but I think Welcome 2 America was the big release for the year. I’m hearing another Super Deluxe for 2022 but now they’re saying Parade which I could take or leave.

Yes, I had heard so much of D&P being next too. I like both Parade and D&P though. Wonder if it's Parade, if they will include a DVD disc of the movie.
