R.I.P. to the Purple One
It’s still crazy to think that Prince is no longer with us. The legendary singer passed tragically earlier this year and left plenty of music in the vault. This whole time after this death, there was a bidding war over his unreleased material. Now it looks like some of that content will see the light of day through two projects.
A remastered, deluxe reissue of Purple Rain is on deck for release early next year, which will be based on plans the singer actually had before he died. It will feature a lot of re-worked tracks and a second album worth of material.
Not only that, but a Greatest Hits is also on the way. Prince 4Ever will contain 40 popular Prince records as well as an unreleased track titled “Moonbeam Levels” (No. 33 on the tracklist below). That effort is set to be released on November 22. So if you don’t have your Prince catalog as extensive as it should be, this would be a good starting point.
