This is essential for all Prince fans.

ByAmazon Customeron June 23, 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

This entire setup is amazing, especially for the price. My only issue is that they compressed it and more importantly, there's some glitches. *sigh*
Beginning of "Erotic City" extended version you can hear the tape warble. There's some other little things here and there. This was a big release. Shame on Warner Brothers and whoever is responsible at Paisley Park for quality control.
Still - anything from The Vault in this high of resolution is welcome even with the glitches. I'm still grateful and still think this is essential for all Prince fans.
See the attached photos. The first is the original CD "Baby I'm A Star". Second is the new version.

A Princely Opus gets an upgrade and a Purple Peak in to the Legendary Paisley Vault!

ByW. Clarkon June 23, 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

The long awaited remastered deluxe edition is here. First promised in 2014 comes with some truly jaw-dropping moments.

First, the Orginal Album has been cleaned up somewhat and it does sound better. But it seems it was a digital clean up and not the old fashion painstaking analog methods of old,

Also is the CD of edits and extended versions and B-sides. Most of these have been released on CD but a few gems are here for the first time. Including the longer version of "Another Lonely Christmas" and the instrumental "God" AKA "Love theme from Purple Rain). Now, this is fine, however, given there are longer and versions of all the songs on the album (some by a few seconds some double the length or more, I would have preferred some of those as opposed to redundant edits followed by their longer counterparts.

Also on the set is DVD of the March 1985 concert in Syracuse. Released in 1985 on VHS this DVD has much-improved sound but the original source is still video and it shows. But it is an experience.

But the real meat is the 2nd CD of Vault material. This disk of 11 tracks and 12 songs shows Prince at some of his raw and raunchy best. With songs like "Possessed" (which is performed live on the DVD) and "We Can F... " A personal standout for me is "Love and Sex" with Pince scream-singing the lyrics. And the rest take the listener into the vault and gives us a taste as to what some mean when they say some of his wildest stuff it unreleased.

Well Worth The Wait. A No-Brainer Purchase For Fans

ByA Customeron June 23, 2017

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Finally. This truly is a long-awaited project as it was announced some three years ago as "coming". We'll never know for sure what the original configuration might have been but what we have is worth every penny and beyond. There's going to be a lot of disagreement on the merits of remastering but the "2015 Paisley Park Remaster" of the main album sounds great to me. A little crisper to my ears but the original was already great so the real interesting aspect is of course...unreleased material!! Disc 2 is a bit puzzling to me at first because there are several well-known Purple Rain-era outtakes not included ("Wednesday", "All Day All Night") so right off the bat we know this is not an exhaustive set or complete set of outtakes. Nevertheless what is here is just glorious.."The Dance Electric" (later given to Andre Cymone), the "Hallway Speech" version of "Computer Blue", "Father's Song", "Electric Intercourse" and more. Bloody fantastic stuff that proves there's gold in dem vaults. One can only hope (Prince's estate and record company rights rife with uncertainty) there's an avalanche of expanded reissues to come. As for this moment I am thankful and excited about Purple Rain Deluxe.

The Vault!!!

BySindeeCon June 23, 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

The greatest album of all time by the greatest musician of all time! This album is everything I could have ever asked for! Nothing sweeter than hearing a clean cut version of my all time favorite song "Wonderful A$$", and the remastered "The Beautiful Ones" - Both inspired by the legendary Prince girl Vanity. All songs were amazing and unique but Electric Intercourse is Prince at his most Prolific... Erotic City extended is an eye popping feast. Thank you Purple One. Rest in paradise.

That first drum strike--wow!

ByJSB_DDSon June 23, 2017

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Simply awesome in every way. A big improvement over the original. More bass, more definition, and louder with--for this type of music--the perfect degree of compression. I simply cannot understand the audio quality whiners. I'm listening to the Vault disc on a pair of Sennheiser 800s through a Lynx reference D/A converter, and the sound is superb. Incidentally, these Vault songs are every bit as good as any of Prince's commercial releases. Worth the price just to hear the first 30 seconds of "Purple Rain." That first drum strike--wow! Buy it. What a genius.

Sounds better than ever but still missing some things

ByJ. Goldbachon June 27, 2017

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

Taking a look at each disc: #1, the remastered version is very nice. I find it to be less muddy than the original. Enough to go out and buy the new version? Not unless you're a purist like me. #2, the vault stuff. Several of these tracks have been available on the bootleg circuit for some time but there were still some nice surprises. The extended version of "Computer Blue" is not the "what the f--- is wrong" version that has been circulating for several years, but it makes me appreciate the song all the more. The disc also gives us "Obsessed" which is featured in the background in the movie so that is a nice addition. I'm still wondering when/if "Modernaire" will ever be released. It's the only thing that's part of the soundtrack that is not available anywhere (besides the incidental music that is also not officially available). Disc #3, the 7's, 12's and b-sides. Awesome, of course, so now we have all of it on CD. His b-sides are the stuff that most artists aspire to release. Many seem better than a-side material. Disc #4, the video. It was awfully shot when it was first broadcast, the VHS was bad and the DVD isn't much better. Can't argue much because the source material was bad to begin with. It's obvious that the director had no clue how to shoot this show. Too many dark screens and blurry shots. It's a mess but at least it's a record of this important time in the history of Prince. But what a show! It's nice to have it on DVD. All in all, I love it (as a Prince fan) and the collection makes me want more from the vault and it makes me miss him all the more.

It's Prince at his best!

I had most of the songs on here since the 80's bootlegs included. But having studio quality of fathers song was worth the money for me. Although it makes me sad when i hear it.
