I couldn't get the CD's yet, but I found a DVD rip which seems to have a much better sound quality than my classic Syracuse LD rip bootleg. I can't judge on video quality with such a compressed file.
.
Is there any way to legally purchase the video show (or an audio rip of it) online (i.e. downloadable) or is physical purchase the only way to get the video? Same question with the booklet (is there a digital version of it?).
- Purple Rain Deluxe Expanded Edition is an elaborated remastered re-issue of Prince ’s best known, sixth full-length studio album Purple Rain (the motion picture soundtrack to the movie Purple Rain) and the second official posthoumous release.
- Remastered and accompanied by an entire disc of unreleased tracks from his legendary vault, Purple Rain Deluxe allowed the world to experience the best-selling album of Prince's career in an entirely new way. Work on the reissue of Purple Rain began in 2014, around the 30th anniversary of the iconic album, and was overseen by Prince himself during remastering sessions at Paisley Park in 2015.

This is Prince’s final word on his definitive masterpiece. This 3-CD/1-DVD Expanded Edition is a true collector’s item and the ultimate vision of Purple Rain. In addition to the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster and “From The Vault & Previously Unreleased,” it includes “Single Edits & B-Sides” and a never-seen on DVD of Prince and The.
I'm very interested in reading the liner notes to see if there's some explaination regarding tracklist selection and sources, because I can tell at least 3 major apparent problems:
- Obviously, the OD/RG mashup seems to have been made on Audacity in 5 minutes, so it'd be nice to have confirmation that it was segued as such by Prince (and to know why it's such a lame job).
- From what I've read it also seems that WA is the 86 version, which is good in the sense that it's by far the best version, but ridiculous because it belongs to the DA/C/CB/SOTT sessions. Unless of course that version was, in fact, NOT from 1986, which isn't totally unthinkable (a later version could indeed exist but not be circulating).
- If Possessed in indeed the March 84 version and is credited as the 83 one, that's seriously wrong... unless (again) we had the wrong info in the first place.
I'd like to know what liner notes have to say about all this.
