@ATruthUntold Prince estate announced a Purple Rain boxset with 2 concert DVDs in. After many pre-orders, released it with only one. Said the other would follow separately. It didn’t.
@ATruthUntold It had a touring exhibition of Prince’s belongings and advertised a VIP experience where customers wpuld be able to watch never before seen concert footage. This was a lie. The footage was previously commercially released.
@ATruthUntold There was an official tour where a huge orchestra played Prince’s music, advertised as including never before seen concert footage. This was, once again, a lie.
@ATruthUntold Weeks before his death, Prince signed a deal to write an autobiography. He wrote roughly 17 pages of handwritten notes. The Prince estate bunged those notes in a book with loads of other scraps of paper they found in his house and fraudulently mass-marketed it as his ‘memoir’.
@ATruthUntold Meanwhile, Prince’s home, where alcohol was forbidden, has been opened as a tourist attraction and turned into a nightclub with a liquor licence. It was so poorly managed that photos emerged of customers licking his belongings.
@ATruthUntold At the nightclub with a liquor licence which used to be his house, they stage an annual ‘celebration’ of his death, on the date of his death, for which fans are charged exorbitant ticket prices.
@ATruthUntold The Prince estate’s products may be of broadly better quality than the MJ estate’s, but they have zero commercial appeal and have all been failures in that regard. Obvious opportunities are missed and massive own goals are scored.
@ATruthUntold So pointing to the Prince estate as a totem of excellence that the MJ estate should seek to emulate is sadly misguided. Even this new SOTT boxset has been whacked up to about 50% more than what would be a reasonable market price.
