Album.

The Roots and guitarist Vernon Reid (formerly of Living
Color) are among the artists that have been tapped to
perform Prince's 1999 album at a special concert in
New York City on December 11. The show will be staged
at BAM, the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, and will also
feature performances from PM Dawn and ex-Brand New
Heavies singer N'Dea Davenport.



For the affair, which is being billed as the
"Party At The End Of Time: 1999 Live," the guest artists
will perform, in sequence, Prince's entire 1999 album,
which was originally released in 1982 and spawned such
hits as "Little Red Corvette," "Delirious," and the title
track.



In his own right, the Artist Formerly Known as Prince
released an extended single featuring seven new versions
of "1999" earlier this year, entitled 1999 - The New
Masters.
