Diamonds & Pearls - 2023 European Warner Music Label 69-track 7CD + BD

Paisley Park Enterprises, in Partnership with Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Records,
announces expanded reissue of Prince & the New Power Generation’s multi-platinum album
Diamonds And Pearls. This 7 x CD + Blu-ray features 47 previously unreleased tracks and over
two hours of live filmed concert footage in high definition.

Following the successful release of the 1999 Super Deluxe Edition (2019), and Sign O’ The Times
Super Deluxe Edition (2020), the Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition represents the third
deep dive into Prince’s vault. It includes a total of 75 audio tracks across 7x CDs and 12x 180g
vinyl records.

The set offers a newly remastered version of the album, plus 15 of the incredible remixes and B-
sides from the era, including the never commercially released “Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Min.)” mix.
The Super Deluxe Edition also features 33 previously unheard studio gems from Prince’s Illustrious
vault, ranging from alternate versions of album tracks to numbers Prince gave away to other
artists, and songs recorded while on the road in 1990.

Prince & The NPG previewed the Diamonds And Pearls Tour at Prince’s Minneapolis club, Glam
Slam, on January 11, 1992. The sweaty, sold-out, last-minute show captures the sheer joy and
sense of endless possibility that came to define this era. This previously unreleased live concert
performance has been mixed from the 24-track master and rounds out the audio content of this 7CD set.

This same previously unreleased concert is also presented in stunning 2K video on the Blu-ray
disc that accompanies both Super Deluxe Edition formats, in Stereo, 5.1 Dolby True HD, and
Dolby ATMOS audio formats. The Blu-ray also features Prince & The New Power Generation’s
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 Diamonds And Pearls Video Collection, originally
released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1993. The 120-page hardback book which accompanies the
SDE set features unseen photos by Randee St. Nicholas, and essays by: author & broadcaster
Andrea Swensson; Archivist and Senior Researcher for the Prince Estate Duane Tudahl; British
music critic and Prince expert Jason Draper; De Angela L. Duff, an Industry Professor at NYU
Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn; Social Media Personality KaNisa Williams; and an
introduction from Public Enemy founder, Chuck D.

In addition, there will be a brand-new Dolby ATMOS mix of Diamonds And Pearls. This marks 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.
Diamonds And Pearls is the thirteenth studio album by Prince, and was the first with his new
backing band, The New Power Generation. Featuring six massive international singles, including
the hits “Gett Off”, “Cream”, and the iconic title track, the album was a worldwide smash reaching
multi-platinum status in the USA and the UK, where it remains his best-selling album.
