Prince has left a legacy of recorded music, enough to be revisited with extraordinary offerings. Signed with Warner Brothers Records, Prince released his self-titled 2nd album to much excitement. It has sold over three million copies worldwide. Since, he has released variable attention-getting albums that include his ultra-extraordinary Purple Rain, celebrated by fans worldwide. It produced 5 singles including “When Doves Cry”. Prince has released over 30 albums, an incredibly creative amount for the changeling artist. He passed in 2016.
On October 27, WB Records and Rhino Records will reissue his 1991 set, Diamonds & Pearls. For this, all stops have been pulled as management has ok’d the extravagant reissue of this title with multiple CD, DD, and vinyl LP packages to attract all comers (see what I did there?)
Diamonds & Pearls will be reissued on CD, 2CD, DD, 180g-weight Milky White 2LP vinyl, 180g-weight Clear 2LP vinyl, and Industry Black 180g-weight 4LP. With box sets in mind, there will be an industry black 180g-weight 12LP that packs in the newly remastered album, 15 remastered singles and edits, unreleased studio recordings, 14 live performance tracks from Glam Slam (01/11/1992), along with a BD that offers three hours of content. Another box set offers the title in a 7CD/BD set that includes all mentioned for the 12LP/BD box. Finally, there is a Limited Edition 7 7″ vinyl singles box. the track list info below provide details on the 7CD Box. The audio tracks on the BD are high resolution Stereo/5.1 Surround/Dolby Atmos/Dolby True HD. The video content are presented in 2k cinema resolution and 1080p.
