Dearly Beloved It exists. It really exists. That may be the most astounding thing about the deluxe expanded edition of Prince's masterpiece Purple Rain (Warner Bros./NPG Records 547374-2). And believe me, there's a lot to be astounded. This set features the first remaster of any Prince album in the. Purple Rain (Deluxe) Expanded Edition NPG Records/Warner Bros. This is the one people have been waiting for – particularly since the sad news last year.Prince was readying this release – it was planned to happen in his lifetime, it was further delayed across the last year – its 30 th Anniversary well and truly gone now.
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?).

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.
