SHOW YOUR LOVE! A Happy 75th Birthday Funkin' Birthday to the legend William "Bootsy" Collins! There can be no other Baby Bubba!
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?
