I think I figured it out. This isnt a new thing. Its the same release they mentioned a few weeks ago. The U.S. will get it a week early on Record Store Day and then Europe a week later the first week of November. This is the Tower Records website in Europe. So, changing my tune. Nothing to see here that we haven't already seen.

This is a very old interview from the archives. He's not trying to push anything right now.

Someone asked where this release was happening and that simple question got me thinking that maybe its NOT a separate release. But that the US gets it a week early on RSD and then a week later for Europe. I bet thats what happening.

DATE IS SET. December 4, 2026, the 3121 Deluxe set featuring 2 CD's and a BluRay or 3 vinyls and a BluRay. However, still too many unknowns here. The Record Store Day release they announced previously (if it lands on RSD) is for November 27. Dec. 4th is a week later. My guess? The Curacao Blue photos we saw of the Vegas show will drop as announced on November 27 and then a week.later, we will get a box set that is similar to ATWIAD where it will be one remastered version of 3121 and then another CD of edits, 12" mixes, and the BluRay DVD of the Vegas show. Anyone else got a guess? towerrecords.ie/collections/…

Not true. Eric was very vocal when he was here.

Okay. That’s fine. Now shine the light on those who have plenty to say now that Prince is gone but wouldn’t say ish when he was alive.

Trying to post things that show everyone's views from every angle. But the negativity is overwhelming. You believe what you want, but all of you have heard the stories. Plug your ears like children. He was a genius. Not a saint. Whatever. Deleted.

Morris Hayes recounts why Prince pushed Rosie Gaines to perfection. Prince demanded 3 specific ingredients to hit at once. If any element was missing, it wasn't good enough. Excellence is about the harmony of all three. #Prince #MusicProduction

Michael Bland and Mr. Christopher break down the reality of modern hits: sometimes, lack of musical talent doesn't stop success. Even a legendary stage moment with Prince turned into a lesson on how production standards have shifted over time. #MusicIndustry #Prince

Legendary hearing: Prince once tried to sneakily play a trick on Ray Charles. It didn't work out. #Prince #RayCharles #MusicHistory
