    Diamonds and Pearls SDE

    Lol I'm pretty cynical but not that cynical. I still think Prince is to blame for his legacy being in a mess. As for Londell, I really doubt Prince confided in his family and so it makes sense that since Prince had such an axe to grind with the music industry, Londell might be someone who was...

    Diamonds and Pearls SDE

    I don't think it's the death of the Estate. Unfortunately, everything is tied up with the stalled documentary and from where I sit, that was a bad deal. They could have set aside material (maybe unreleased music and film) that didn't have to go into the documentary and release it to the public...

    t0000 2.0, aka 47

    All things that will be struck down in courts along the way. It's all a distraction in order to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies with tax breaks and whatnot. By the end of this term, he's not going to leave because he'll probably get Congress to agree to make him ruler for life.

    t0000 2.0, aka 47

    Personally, we can blame politicians all we want but at the end of the day, a politician is going to politician. I really think that voters are the problem. We elect these people into power all the time and the problems are just getting worse and worse. I know it's a broad brush what I am saying...

    I’m not American and so I shouldn’t have a dog in this race but I’m also done talking about how the dangers of this man were laid bare in front of their eyes from the start. The evidence is right in front of America and now here they are. Good luck.

    Not all Geminis are like that. Sheesh.

    Diamonds and Pearls SDE

    The Live At Glam Slam set is really a revelation. I saw the video a few weeks back and loved it and even without the visual of Prince and the NPG, it still sounds amazing. This sounds like a different mix from the video though. This is far superior than the ONA live set and the Indigo Nights set...

    Diamonds and Pearls SDE

    Out of curiosity, of the Vault tracks on this SDE, are there any that you would swap in instead of others or include in the official album release back in 1991?

    Diamonds and Pearls SDE

    An early Xmas present but I've finally got to this. Yes, the book is amazing, just like the SOTT SDE book. I found the Glam Slam live video some place else - it's amazing too. I've only started on the Vault 1 cd and I can see that this really was a transitional period for Prince. It feels like...

    Unrest

    Yeah I hear that and maybe it's right but that's not what it looks like to me. But who knows. Either way, I'm just glad I'm not in those messes.

    Unrest

    Syria's president did not resign. He was forced out by rebels, he fled. In his mind, he probably still thinks he's president. Ever since America joined the fascistic movement in November, I haven't watched or read any international news at all up until this week. I don't know what's going on in...

    The song sequence of Sign 'o The Times on vinyl

    Thanks. I’ve also realized that on many LPs, mostly from the 80s, the first song on the 2nd side is usually a song that was a big single.

    The song sequence of Sign 'o The Times on vinyl

    Listening to SOTT on vinyl, it occurred to me that each side tells its own story and the songs sound like they were matched with each other according to which side. For example, the first four songs alone sound nothing like each other and (without undercutting my argument) that's why it works on...

    Has anyone read the NYT article about the delayed documentary?

    Some of it we kind of already know about but there are a couple of things that are difficult to learn. I recently saw the Wham documentary and even though I liked it, I think it could have been a lot less "happy". Having said that, I don't know how to feel about the unpleasant parts of Prince's...

    Prince Estate Finally valued - A few thoughts

    I'm of the belief that the only person to blame for this is actually Prince. He should have got all of this in order the moment he became a millionaire - the 80s. He could have revised his will or whatever it should have been over the years but for whatever reason of which we will never know...

    The Gold Experience

    This is definitely a Top 5 Prince album for me. I remember that era all too well. It was so confusing. I always thought that when Prince had an agenda with an album, he excelled with it and I consider this an agenda album. The bootlegs from this era are also worthy of a collectors series. But...

    We are the world Documentary on Netflix mentions Prince's alleged non involvement

    It was a regretful move on Prince's part. He should have been there and I wonder if he came to that conclusion long after. He would have been adored by everyone in that room. Ok fine, he's shy or he doesn't like not being in control but gee fella.....it's for starving people in Africa. Suck it...

    Purple Rain being developed as a stage musical

    Ya that's why I liked it so much. I'm glad Elton even signed off on it.
