Masterful composer, multi-faceted musician, international megastar and cultural icon?Prince?presents his first book, 21 NIGHTS, a stunning multi-media volume offering a rare glimpse into the life, lyrics, and mystique of one of the most notable and prolific performers of our time. This beautifully designed photographic essay flows from Prince's sensational, unprecedented, record-breaking, sold-out 21 concerts in 21 nights at London's O2 Arena in 2007. Juxtaposing his dueling worlds of music and solitude, it will incorporate Prince's evocative poetry and lyrics to new songs and other selections, and 124 full-color, sumptuous, never-before-published images by celebrated photographer Randee St. Nicholas. As part of the dimensional experience, it will also feature "Indigo Nights," a CD capturing Prince's speak-easy, after-hours, raw, live after-show sessions of pure unadulterated jams. For the first time in 21 NIGHTS, Prince is seen behind the scenes. Randee St. Nicholas, renowned for her rich visuals, deft touch, and distinctive style, was given access to Prince's life and career, providing a nuanced and unparalleled view of the artist, accompanying him onstage, backstage, and into his sleeping quarters. "Indigo Nights," which includes the live version of the song "3121," will not be available in any other format. [source: official press release Atria Books] The book jacket is printed with a black and silver duotone paper-over-board. It will be elegantly sealed in a purple slip case with foil stamping and then shrink wrapped for protection.

Hope the 3121 version is from the 16th Sept where it was mixed with DMSR. That was awesome.

you are gonna be the salesman of the year for that company

Cool, can't wait to read Prince's poetry.

it keeps threatening with 3121, I'm wondering if it's just that song on it.

where's the track listing?

I wonder how the songs are being chosen to fit on just one CD. I hope they don't edit them, because the 3121 performances were rather long ones, but all great and without the whole thing something would be taken away from them.

This is straight from the press release from May 5th,

I'm pretty sure it was also posted here in the original book thread as I remember people talking about which nights 3121 was performed but I can't find the thread or I'd link to it as well.

I'm really interested to see the tracklisting to this cd..

i really hope it comes out soon!!!!!
I hardly heard prince live apart from superbowl so shud be great

If "21 Nights" isn't on sale until September, can someone post a picture of the back of the box so that we can read that?

Two questions.

Were ALL of the 21 concerts actually sold out??

Is Randee St. Nicholas really a celebrated photographer or, is this just hyperbole??

1. Yes

2.She isn't extremely well known like Annie Leibowitz, but she's certainly done her fair share of celeb pics. She's a favorite photog of Prince's, for certain, and she's definitely taken many fan favorite pics.
