Ed 3: Vinyl Record – 2017
Presentation
This is the 2017 vinyl record released with the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster (ref : 93624930242).
Waveform and Spectrum: DR11
The waveform of the 2017 vinyl record shows a levelling off of the maximum signal level, thus demonstrating a reduced dynamic range, confirmed by the DR11. The master used is the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster, which is also used for the Tidal Deluxe version.
The spectrogram shows that the signal rises above 20 kHz (yellow arrow) with signal above this frequency (white arrow) containing musical information and distortion due to the vinyl record’s operating principle.
The waveforms below show the original vinyl record and the vinyl record made from the remastered version in 2015 (The same recording level was used for both vinyl records).
We notice that the cutting level on the remastered vinyl record is 1 dB lower than that of the original version, and more importantly, we notice a flattening of the peaks with a dynamic range reduced by over 5 dB!
The graph below compares the spectrum of the Vinyl record – 1984 (blue curve) with the spectrum of the Vinyl Record – 2017 (white curve).The spectra overlap from 400 Hz to 7 kHz, beyond which the 2017 vinyl record rises slightly, with a maximum of 4 dB (yellow zone), and for the 1984 vinyl record, there’s a strong plus and minus 8 dB variation in the yellow circle beyond 18 kHz. Below 300 Hz, the bass level is higher for the 2017 vinyl edition (green zone), with up to 2.5 dB more.
Synthesis and listening
Even though loudness does not directly apply to an analog format, this vinyl edition, derived from the “2015 Paisley Park Remaster,” is a collateral victim of the loudness war.
It was produced from a digital master with compressed dynamics, resulting in a lower cutting level and reduced dynamic range. Waveform graphs, which appear flat and show the use of a limiter, clearly reflect this.
It’s a shame not to respect the characteristics of the analog format!

Presentation
This is the 2024 Clear white Purple vinyl record released for the 40th anniversary. It is cut from the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster. (ref: 81227814502).
Waveform and Spectrum: DR11
The waveform of the 2025 vinyl record shows a levelling off of the maximum signal level, thus demonstrating a reduced dynamic range, confirmed by the DR11. The master used is the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster, which is also used for the Tidal Deluxe version.
The spectrogram shows that the signal rises above 20 kHz (yellow arrow) with signal above this frequency (white arrow) containing musical information and distortion due to the vinyl record’s operating principle.
The graph below compares the spectrum of the Clear white Purple Vinyl Record – 2024 (white curve) with the spectrum of the Vinyl Record – 2017 (blue curve).The two spectra are almost perfectly superimposed, showing the use of the same master, and perhaps the same lacquer.
The graph below compares the spectrum of the Clear white Purple Vinyl Record – 2024 (white curve) with the spectrum of the Tidal Deluxe – 2015 (blue curve).The spectra overlap from 400 Hz to 9 kHz, beyond which the 2024 vinyl rises and falls to 20 kHz, with a maximum of 5 dB (yellow zone). Below 300 Hz, the bass level is higher for the 2024 vinyl edition (green zone), with up to 1.5 dB more.
Synthesis and listening
Even though loudness does not directly apply to an analog format, this vinyl edition, derived from the “2015 Paisley Park Remaster,” is a collateral victim of the loudness war.
It was produced from a digital master with compressed dynamics, resulting in a lower cutting level and reduced dynamic range.
Waveform graphs, which appear flat and show the use of a limiter, clearly reflect this. It’s a shame not to respect the characteristics of the analog format!
The only real appeal of this edition lies in its transparent vinyl record with beautiful purple and white splashes.

Ed 6: Tidal Deluxe – 2015
Presentation
This is the Tidal Deluxe (Expanded Edition) version presented in 24 bits 192 kHz with the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster, and 26 bonus tracks not reviewed (link).
Waveform and Spectrum: DR7
The waveform of the Tidal Deluxe version goes up to the maximum level and shows a low dynamic range confirmed with DR7.
The spectrogram shows that the signal rises above 20 kHz (yellow arrow) with signal up over 30 kHz (white arrow). A spurious frequency peak (black arrow) is present around 30 kHz.
The graph below compares the spectrum of the Tidal Deluxe – 2015 (white curve) with the spectrum of the CD – 1984 (blue curve).The spectra overlap from 400 Hz to 9 kHz, beyond which the CD has a lower level than the Deluxe version, with a maximym of -2 dB (yellow zone). Below 300 Hz, the bass level is lower for the CD edition (green zone), by up to 2 dB. The yellow arrow indicates the CD limit at 22 kHe due to the 44.1 kHz sampling frequency used.
The red arrow indicates the presence of spurious frequency peaks above 25 kHz.
Synthesis and listening
The Deluxe edition stands out with the inclusion of bonus tracks, offering additional content compared to the original version.
Available in very high resolution at 24-bit 192 kHz, it promises an exceptional version, which is indeed the case, with a bandwidth extending beyond 22 kHz. However, the loudness war significantly impacts this version, reducing some of the original dynamics and limiting the benefit of such a high resolution.
It’s a pity, because a lot of work has gone into creating a slightly wider soundstage than the original version.

Ed 7: Tidal Dolby Atmos – 2024
Presentation
This is the Tidal Dolby Atmos presented in Dolby Digital Plus or AC-4 (link).
Spatialization:
The spatialization of Tidal Dolby Atmos – 2024 version varies from track to track, with values between 6.0 and 8.1.
Spatialization : ●●●●●●●ooo (7.2)
Below the spatialization for all tracks. Click on the images to zoom in.
Waveform and Spectrum: DR14
The waveform of the Tidal Dolby Atmos Atmos shows a high dynamic range confirmed with DR14.
The spectrogram of the Tidal Dolby Atmos track downmixed in 7.1 is limited to 20kHz (yellow arrow) with no signal above (white arrow).
This limitation is due to Dolby Digital Plus encoding, which is a lossy encoder that limits bandwidth to optimize data size for a bit rate of 768 kbits/s.
The graph below represents the spectrum of the Tidal Dolby Atmos – 2024.
The spectrum of Tidal’s Dolby Atmos version decoded in 7.1 shows similarities to that of the Blu-ray’s Dolby Atmos version.
The LFE channel uses a cutoff frequency of 120 Hz (indicated by the green arrow). The white arrow indicates the high-frequency limit at 20 kHz, due to the Dolby Digital Plus encoding.
Finally, the yellow arrow indicates the high-frequency limit at 24 kHz, due to the 48 kHz sampling frequency used for encoding.
Synthesis and listening
The mix of Tidal’s Dolby Atmos version sounds different from the Bluray version, with less pronounced effects and a greater emphasis on vocals.
This Dolby digital Plus version remains inferior in terms of rendering finesse and spatial precision to the Dolby Atmos version on Blu-ray encoded in lossless Dolby Digital TrueHD format. This version is best listened to on a 7.1.4 system, to really benefit from the mix. The 2.0 downmix is a far cry from the original stereo version.

Waveform and Spectrum: DR14
The waveform of the blu-ray Dolby Atmos Atmos shows a high dynamic range confirmed with DR14.
The spectrogram of the Atmos downmixed in 7.1 version of blu-ray shows that the signal goes down to 24 kHz (yellow arrow) and that there is no signal above this frequency (white arrow), due to the 48 kHz sampling frequency used.
The graph below represents the spectrum of the Blu-ray Dolby Atmos – 2025 .
The spectrum of the Dolby Atmos version of the Bluray decoded in 7.1 shows similarities to that of the Dolby Atmos version of Tidal.
The LFE channel uses a cutoff frequency below 120 Hz (indicated by the green arrow).
The yellow arrow indicates the high-frequency limit at 24 kHz, due to the 48 kHz sampling frequency used for encoding. Dolby Digital TrueHD is a Lossless format that doesn’t limit the bandwidth to 20 kHz like Tidal’s streaming version (it’s the same for Amazon and Apple Music).
Synthesis and listening
Very fine mixing work on this mythical album, perfectly exploiting the possibilities of space sound while respecting each track.
Right from the start of “Prince – Let’s Go Crazy”, the sound space is present with reverberation on the surround channels, then the music brings all its energy, and exploits all the channels, with sounds and also voices distributed in 3D space, with a finale on all the channels.
“The Beautiful Ones”: front vocals with music on all channels, including the presence of the high channels.
“Computer Blue”: extended soundstage with a lively mix on all channels.
“When Doves Cry”: use of different sound movements. The voice is on the front channels. The center channel is not used.
“Purple Rain”: starts on the stereo and quickly expands to all channels. Beautiful dynamics, with instruments distributed laterally and rearward. Listening in 9.1.4 brings even greater precision to the 180-degree front scene.
Compared with the Dolby Digital Plus streaming version (Tidal, Apple, Amazon), there’s more precision in the sound and spatial rendering, as well as more precise, deeper bass. This version is best listened to on a 7.1.4 system, to really benefit from the mix. The 2.0 downmix is a far cry from the original stereo version.

Ed 9: Blu-ray stereo – 2025
Presentation
This is the PCM track of the original stereo mix of the bluray presented in PCM 24 bits 96 kHz (ref: 6 03497 81577 7). 2 audio tracks are available on this blu-ray, two stereo tracks and Dolby Digital Atmos TrueHD track. This blu-ray is also available with SDE exclusive slipcase.
Waveform and Spectrum: DR13
The waveform of the blu-ray stereo shows a high dynamic range confirmed with DR13.
The spectrogram shows that the signal rises above 20 kHz (yellow arrow) with signal up to 25 kHz (white arrow).
The graph below compares the spectrum of the Blu-ray stereo – 2025 (white curve) with the spectrum of the CD – 1984 (blue curve).An interesting comparison of the spectrum is the superposition of the curves from 300 Hz to 24 kHz (yellow arrow). Above 24 kHz, the signal attenuates completely at 25 kHz, while the Tidal Deluxe version continues up to over 40 kHz. There’s no explanation for this attenuation on the bluray version, which is in PCM 24-bit 96 kHz format, and should therefore have a signal present up to 48 kHz!
Below 300 Hz, the bluray stereo version attenuates in the low frequencies (maximum 2 dB attenuation), corresponding exactly to the 1984 CD version.
The result is a version with the bass level of the original and the treble level of the remastered version!
Synthesis and listening
This stereo version is very close to the original CD version, retaining all the dynamics. This bluray reissue allows you to enjoy the uncompressed stereo version to the full, as indicated on the “Audiophile Bluray” sticker.

Ed 10: One Step vinyl record – 2025
Presentation
This new vinyl edition was produced using the One Step process, which minimizes the number of steps between the cutting, carried out by Levi Seitz, and the pressing of the record, done on a Neotech VR900-D2 machine. The record is sourced from a 24-bit / 192 kHz digital master. It is a limited edition of 6,000 copies, presented in a box set containing a 180 g LP playing at 33 1/3 rpm. (ref: R1-728326)
Waveform and Spectrum: DR13
The waveform of the One Step vinyl record shows a high dynamic range confirmed with DR13.
The spectrogram shows that the signal rises above 20 kHz (yellow arrow) with signal above this frequency (white arrow) containing musical information and distortion due to the vinyl record’s operating principle.
The graph below compares the spectrum of the One Step vinyl record – 2025 (white curve) with the spectrum of the Vinyl record – 1984 (blue curve). The curves of the two spectra are generally very similar, though the One Step vinyl (green area) shows a slightly stronger low end, reaching +2 dB at 60 Hz. In the high frequencies (yellow area), the One Step version’s signal exhibits no disturbances at 20 kHz and features a lower noise floor above 20 kHz.
Synthesis and listening
Following the release of the Blu-ray edition in Dolby Atmos, which has become a true reference, here comes the One Step vinyl version. This edition stands as a new benchmark for vinyl releases: it captures all the energy of the album with a sound balance faithful to the original, offering great clarity and remarkable precision in both instruments and vocals. The soundstage is wide and immersive, filling the listening space effortlessly. Finally, the high-quality pressing, with exceptional quietness, makes this vinyl edition an essential reference for this album.

Once again, the impact of loudness can be heard on the remastered digital stereo versions, and also as collateral damage on the vinyl disc. More details in article “Vinyl succumbs to Loudness War: more than just collateral damage!” (link)
If you want to fully enjoy a dynamic version that matches the original, you’ll have to go for the original CD and vinyl editions.
But also via the Streaming service, because at Tidal you’ll find the Original version similar to the CD and the remastered version, which is truly exceptional, and a principle that should be generalized for all albums! This bluray reissue complies with the “Audiophile Bluray” sticker.
Otherwise, it’s the bluray that brings you a dynamic stereo version, and above all the Dolby Atmos version in Dolby Digital TrueHD format, ensuring maximum lossless quality for this format on bluray.
It’s a pity that the loudness has affected the remastered version (Tidal Deluxe), as it is offered in 24-bit 192 kHz!
Review update: In addition to the previously tested versions, the One Step vinyl edition stands out as the best reissue of this album on vinyl. It offers a very high-quality pressing, with minimal surface noise and an outstanding sound rendering.
