Apparemment 1 commentaire de la part d’1 forummer 1 certain Big Chick sur Prince.org qui serait en contact avec 1 cadre de la Warner qui nous distille quelques infos sur le projet du remaster de Purple Rain.
"
I always appreciate fans efforts in sharing information whether it be news related or concert reports. In light of reading this thread, I deceided to reach out to a some what high up executive at Warners(US) that I have known since 1990. All of the information this person has shared with me throughout the years has always wound up being true, even if some of the projects never saw the light of day. He's given me a fair wealth of promo inhouse x-reference cassettes that never saw the light of day but were submitted for consideration. I really didnt want to bug him with this question but this is what he told me via email last night. The 30th anniv. reissue of "Purple Rain" is still being worked on and it is not finished as product. They are close with the final sequence of songs but there are working on the packaging and what they want to include in the deluxe set. The targeted release dates are either the third or fourth week of November. Either being November 18th or 25th. There will be a huge promotional and marketing campaign for this release. Also the new as yet untitled Prince album will be released the same day as well. In fact the new Prince album hasn't even been submitted yet but a early version has been played for some executives and marketing employees. No news on the 3rd Eye Girl album. I've always been truthful and as accurate with what I post on this site. I really don't post alot on here being for the most part the majority of the posts and how people treat each other on here I find quite disgusting. There's a least a few people on here that I speak to in private that post on this site regularly and that will tell you that I'm pretty accurate with my information and knowledge.
I would love for this release to come out this summer as much as anyone but I'm more relieved that they are taking their time to ensure the best possible product for this title.
Peace Big Chick

First, the album has already been remastered. It was released on vinyl a few years back AND on HDTracks (YES, this is confirmed. Check out the Steve Hoffman forums). So the only things that would probably have to be remastered at this point are any bonus tracks. I don't know WHY fans have forgotten this. Second, promotion for a re-release of a 30 year old album doesn't require the promotion of say a new album. Listening parties are completely unnecessary and actually counterproductive to any unreleased bonus material. Not only that but promotion in the internet age is not the same as the 80s. Posters, flyers, ads etc. are a waste. One press release gets posted on a hundred websites, so overkill is pointless. Third, as databank pointed out through his contact, the date probably has been switched back and forth, Warner wanting one (closer to the anniversary date) and Prince wanting another (being a pompous twit asshole perfectionist). Which one will happen, if it happens at all, remains to be seen.

"Those two releases(which also have no Prince involvement) are a completly different beast and have nothing to do with the new remastered version and both of those releases are not being used for the current project.. There has also big promotion and marketing efforts with alot of high profile remaster deluxe anniversary reissues. There's been huge promotional efforts with the new Led Zepplin remasters and I'm quite sure Prince and WB would follow the play book with the LZ remasters. Listening parties are fairly cheap to produce and execute and they are mainly reserved for music critics and bloggers. Jimmy Page held a world exclusive listening party/session at the Olympia Theatre for some 1,500 contest winners from around the globe showcasing the unreleased tracks that would appear on the first 3 sets of LZ remasters. That was a big deal and garned alot of promotion for the project."
