Dearly beloved…
Just a week past the first anniversary of the death of Prince, we have the long awaited official announcement of the Purple Rain Deluxe Edition. On June 23, you’ll have your choice of a two-disc deluxe edition or four-disc expanded edition. The deluxe edition will also be available on vinyl.
All sets contain the remastered Purple Rain soundtrack album, plus From The Vault & Unreleased, a collection of 11 rare and unreleased tracks from that era. The expanded set adds the Single Edits & B-Sides CD, featuring 15 more tracks, including edits and remixes of hits like “Let’s Go Crazy,” When Doves Cry,” and “I Would Die 4 U.”
Rounding out the Purple Rain Expanded Edition is a live DVD, Prince And The Revolution, Live at the Carrier Dome, Syracuse, NY, March 30, 1985. The performance includes all the iconic Prince music from the film as well as early favorites “1999,” “Little Red Corvette,” and “Delirious.”
