Prince’s estate has unveiled a super deluxe reissue of the late artist’s 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls, complete with 47 previously unreleased tracks. Check it out below via Apple Music or Spotify.
Diamonds and Pearls marked Prince’s first album with The New Power Generation and featured hits like “Get Off,” “Cream,” “Money Don’t Matter 2 Night,” and “Insatiable,” as well as its title track. The 12xLP/7xCD super deluxe reissue of the record features a new remaster, one disc of edits, and three CDs full of vault tracks, as well as a Blu-ray of live videos.
Prince’s estate has signed off on a fair share of from-the-vault releases in the years since his 2016 death, including fresh reissues of 1999 and Sign O’ the Times. Earlier this summer, we heard “All a Share Together Now,” a track originally recorded in 2006, and “7 (E Flat Version),” a remix of a cut from Prince and the New Power Generation’s 1992 album Love Symbol, for the first time.
Prince’s home state of Minnesota recently voted to name a stretch of highway after the legendary artist. The road will run right past Paisley Park, his 65,000-square-foot complex which now operates as a museum, event venue, and recording studio.
