I’m so sick and tired of this! Enough is enough. This will be my first post about how tired and frustrated I am with how the estate are handling the vault. I just got a notification that Prince estate released “Do Me Baby Demo” from their forthcoming anniversary release of Dirty Mind.
Thus far The Prince estate has released:
Purple Rain re-release
Sign O The Time Re-release
1999 re-release
Welcome to America album
Originals (songs Prince wrote for other artists)
Piano and microphone album
3 live concerts (audio/video)
Purple Rain live Syracuse remastered
Feel for you original demo (standalone single)
Compilation album with one new song
And they are planning to release Dirty Mind and Diamonds and Pearls anniversary editions.
There are probably some other stuff that I forgot about..
Don’t give me that old excuse “it’s a different situation because Prince recorded more songs than MJ”. It’s not even a Prince vs MJ thing it’s just how uninspired and LAZY they are. They don’t have a lot of finished songs? Ok release a anniversary album with different takes and demo version of songs with maybe 1-2 unreleased songs. Why don’t they do a similar thing like they did with Prince “Originals?” Release a small EP with songs that MJ wrote/gave away to other artists . How about an album where we hear MJ’s tape recordings of him creating his songs and the whole process as seen on the depositions? Or how about just one standalone single? It doesn’t even have to be a new unheard song. Where are Dangerous, History, Off The Wall, Triumph re-releases? If they don’t think concerts are Suitable for worldwide release because of unusable audio why not then upload some of them on YouTube? WHY NOT? Seriously what is the problem? I don’t get it. It’s the lack of creativity that bothers me the most and then they try to write of fans like we’re asking for everything in the vault all at once.
