New Prince reissues and vinyl pressings announced for April

A selection of The Purple One’s music from the 2000s will be available on vinyl for the first time.

Prince’s estate has announced that fans will be able to continue in celebrating and coveting the late artist’s catalogue, with the reissue of four albums in one special collection.

The albums – The Rainbow Children, One Nite Alone…, One Nite Alone…Live! and One Night Alone…The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! – are being rolled out in a 4 CD/1 DVD collection for those who want them all in one package.

The Up All Nite With Prince: The One Nite Alone Collection brings together the live album and after-show record, as well as the film Prince Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas. Documenting his show on December 15th, 2002, the film has been long out of circulation, making the whole package even more enticing to those hardcore Prince fans.

Watch: Prince – ‘Pop Life (Live At The Aladdin, Las Vegas)’

Because it’s Prince, these limited edition editions aren’t being rolled out by halves, nope. Vinyl lovers will definitely get around the nitty gritty. Pressed on 150 gram clear (The Rainbow Children) or purple (One Nite Alone) vinyl, these Prince records are made to be memorable.

These albums are particularly significant within Prince’s wider catalogue, being the first albums released on his own label – NPG Records – after reverting his name back to Prince following the Love Symbol era.

The records will be available for purchase on April 17th.
