NPG Records, in collaboration with Paisley Park Enterprises, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Records, has unveiled a spectacular reissue of Prince’s iconic album, Diamonds And Pearls. This timeless work of art, the thirteenth studio album by the musical genius, is being remastered for the very first time and comes with a treasure trove of 47 previously unreleased tracks. In addition, fans can relish over 2 hours of never-before-seen video concert performances from Prince’s legendary vault.
Diamonds And Pearls was the debut album with Prince’s new backing band, The New Power Generation, and boasted six international hits, including “Gett Off,” “Cream,” and the unforgettable title track. It achieved multi-platinum status in both the USA and the UK, where it still holds the distinction of being his best-selling album.
The reissue comes in various formats, including a Super Deluxe Edition with 75 audio tracks across 7 CDs and 12 vinyl records, a Deluxe Edition with 2 CDs and 4 LPs, and a Remastered album with multiple vinyl variations and audiophile Blu-ray. The Super Deluxe Edition includes newly remastered tracks, remixes, and an array of previously unreleased studio gems.
