Offered exclusively via the official Prince Store. Included among the reissues will be the remastered album tracks, remixes, B-sides, the never commercially released “Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Min.)” mix, and 33 previously unheard studio recordings from Prince’s vault, ranging from alternate versions of album tracks, to tracks Prince gave to other artists, as well as songs recorded while on the road in 1990. Also, the Blu-ray will feature the Prince & The NPG preview of the Diamonds And Pearls Tour (at Prince’s Minneapolis club, Glam Slam, on January 11, 1992), and the performance at The Special Olympics (at the Metrodome in Minneapolis in July 1991, also in Stereo, 5.1, and ATMOS), as well as a previously unseen soundcheck. The Blu-ray is completed by the long out-of-print [m=257389], originally released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1992. In addition, there will be a brand-new Dolby ATMOS mix of "Diamonds And Pearls" marking the very first time a Prince studio album has been mixed in ATMOS, and it will feature on an audiophile Blu-ray, featuring the album in Dolby ATMOS and HD Stereo (24bit / 44.1kHz) formats. Finally, on this day, two tracks were released. “[r=28066708]” on digital download and streaming platforms, and featured on the Super Deluxe set (a previously unreleased track recorded on May 28, 1991 at Larrabee Sound Studios, Studio A) and the previously unreleased “[r=28066726]”, which also appears on the Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition. This 8'02" mix features lyrics that were ultimately edited out to reveal how “Insatiable” originally sounded on its initial mix, since it contains a variety of instruments that were eliminated in the final version.
