GREATEST HITS COLLECTION PRINCE 4EVER ARRIVES ON NOVEMBER 22
REMASTERED, DELUXE VERSION OF PURPLE RAIN DUE IN EARLY 2017
October 21, 2016 (Burbank, CA) - Today, NPG Records and Warner Bros. Records announced two new Prince releases that will celebrate the iconic artist's music and introduce fans to previously unreleased material from his legendary vault. This will mark the first Prince recordings released since his passing on April 21st of this year.
Released on November 22nd in the U.S. and November 25th around the world, Prince 4Ever will bring together 40 of Prince's best-loved songs, including the blockbuster hits "When Doves Cry," "Let's Go Crazy," "Kiss," "Little Red Corvette," "Purple Rain," "Raspberry Beret," "Sign O' The Times," "Alphabet Street," "Batdance," "Cream," and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World."
Prince 4Ever includes "Moonbeam Levels" - a previously unreleased song originally recorded in 1982 during the 1999 sessions and later considered for the never released Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic album. Prince 4Ever will also arrive with a 12-page booklet of never-before-seen photos by acclaimed photographer Herb Ritts.
In addition, early next year will see the release of the much-anticipated remastered, deluxe version ofPurple Rain, plans for which were agreed with Prince before he passed away. The remaster of the classic Purple Rain will arrive with a second album of previously unreleased material. More details will be revealed closer to the release date.
The track-listing for Prince 4Ever is as follows:

If Warner and and NPG are teaming up then why the fuck put out such a reductive tracklist. Prince didn't die 23 years ago mother fuckers. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! |

The part that irritates me most is the "Prince's best-loved songs". If that were the case, it would be a very different track-list. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. |

| oh yes! But I'm more excited for purple rain deluxe!!!!! Especially the bonus disc. Also I wonder if "nothing compares to u" is gonna be the prince studio version? Did Susan rogers say something about that version being on the album? | |

Oh well. I'll still be buying it.

How in the world could a DELUXE verison of Purple Rain be only 2 discs? Not enough work has been done on this if that is the case. |

lust said: If Warner and and NPG are teaming up then why the fuck put out such a reductive tracklist. Prince didn't die 23 years ago mother fuckers. This has already been released in other forms. So they are basic going to sell us one song and some new photos for $20 or $30? Where's the songs from the mid-90's onwards? | |

Merry Christmas to me! They can't please everyone... be happy that we're getting something!! | |

veronikka said: Only one unreleased song Nothing Compares 2 U might be the early version Susanne Rogers talked about a while ago. But altogether I find this very disappointing: not one single song released after The Hits, only one unreleased song (possibly two) which we all have had for years in decent sound... What is the point? Who is going to buy it? A million people just bought The Very Best of, why would they buy another hits collection? | |

It's fucking pants. I'll buy it but seriously. A full career reflective is what's needed and not another rehash. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! |

Later on they could release a Purple Rain 'Ultimate' version... then an 'Expanded' version... then a 40th Anniversary "Special" Edition.
|
I wonder if these are going to be the full versions or are they going to be radio edits? |

And of course, Moonbeam Levels will be 'album only'. As I HAVE to buy any new Prince album, I now really wish he'd left a will that channeled at least some part of his royalties to a good cause. Looking to a good quality version of MBL all the same, and well done on the album cover. His best in years. Miss u Prince. | |

Don't panic, these releases are seperate from the estate stuff and Purple Rain remaster was already delivered to warner months before he passed away. We still have yet to hear about any official vault releases. "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

What version of the `unreleased` song will we get? The original or (more probably) the rerecorded version? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
