Sorry I am not going to repurchase music of PRINCE that I have. WB you can do better of PRINCE than remastered songs.
I agree. I would love the unreleased stuff not the remastered stuff.
Agree!!!
I completely agree! It’s a marketing ploy. Why would we repurchase music? That’s just ludicrous and not right! Even if half of the new album had new songs then that would be more worth it, but I still would not repurchase.
Nobody is interested in this album Warner Brothers
This is a shame. I guess WBs wants to make money with stuff people already know (and have) before actually getting to the real Vault. Hey #Warnerbros don’t worry about the true Prince fans…just appeal to the masses. I guess thats one reason Prince bailed on you guys in the first place.
This is ridiculous why would you rehash a greatest hits package. There are several greatest hits compilations already put together . So you think I would buy another greatest hits package because 1 extra song is on there. Stop being lazy and do Prince justice and release the unreleased music in a nice cd package.
I already got these songs I’ll only buy music I don’t have
That’s why they murdered Prince to get all his Goody’s.won’t get a dime from me,True Fan.
PRINCE INKED THIS DEAL HIMSELF THIS WAS THE LAST DEAL HE DID B4 HE LEFTED US…
