prince complete discography release date

The Rainbow Children was Prince’s 24th studio album and is a jazzy concept album exploring all the aspects that made up Prince’s aesthetic, like sexuality, spirituality, love and so on. The Rainbow Children will be available on CD for the first time in decades, as well as a limited-edition LP that’s crystal-clear with a custom rainbow slipmat. To throw it back even more, CDs are coming back. One Nite Alone, One Nite Alone…Live! and One Nite Alone: The Aftershow…It Ain’t Over! will, of course, be released on limited-edition purple LP, not to mention, this will be the firs-ever vinyl release of these albums. The releases wouldn’t be right if they didn’t have some Prince flair to them. The reissues include 2001’s long-out-of-print The Rainbow Children, 2002’s One Nite Alone and official live albums that were recorded in between the releases of those two studio albums. The recordings date from the latter half of Prince career, in which the intensely prolific artist released as many as four albums a year, either through his own labels or via one-off deals with indies or major labels.The Prince Estate and Legacy Recordings are releasing a handful of tangible Prince albums, the first phase of their “definitive Prince catalog reissue project.” The albums are set for release on April 17, and include his works from 20. The recordings, which include such popular albums as “The Gold Experience,” “3121” and “Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic” as well as a new 37-track compilation called “Prince Anthology 1995-2010,” had been largely unavailable for many years Many of these albums are available for the first time for streaming and download, adding more than 300 songs to the artist’s online in-print catalogue. There’s also a brand new compilation album. Variety reports that 23 albums issued between 19 have been issued in the first round, with more to follow. That’s been corrected today, thanks to an agreement between the Prince’s Estate and Sony Legacy Recordings … Prince’s Warner Brothers catalog hit Apple Music early last year, but that left many of his albums missing.
