Description
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.

Diamonds And Pearls was unveiled to the world on October 1, 1991, and it instantly had a huge commercial and cultural impact, becoming the biggest selling non-soundtrack album of Prince’s career. Over the past three decades, the reasons for its enormous success have been discussed extensively. Not least of these was Prince’s decision to finally engage with major television exposure and an extensive tour of Europe, Japan and his first trip to Australia. The album also offered a diverse collection of sounds that could appeal to a wide variety of listeners. Diamonds And Pearls had something for everyone.

Two vinyl sets -- big and bigger -- are also up for pre-order:

4LP Set
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG2R6W89/?tag=imwan-20

13-Disc Set
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG2RXKLR/?tag=imwan-20

Amazon currently has both of these listed as CDs, but the packshots show vinyl. The giant 13-disc set shows 12 pieces of vinyl and 1 small optical disc -- CD? DVD? Blu-ray? More info is forthcoming..

Just last week I was mentioning to someone that it had been a while since there'd been a vault release from the Prince camp. I thought perhaps the estate had started fighting again and sued each other into paralysis. Glad to see I was wrong. But thirteen discs? There's got to be a lot of concert recordings to fill out that run time.

Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition is the deluxe remaster box set of Prince’s thirteenth album Diamonds And Pearls (credited to Prince and the New Power Generation), including a disc of remastered b-sides and remixes, three CDs of vault tracks, a full show of live audio from the 11 January 1992 show at Glam Slam, Minneapolis, and a Blu-Ray release of that same show, the 20 July 1991 performance at the Special Olympics opening ceremonies, at the Minneapolis Metrodome, as well as its soundcheck, and the full Diamonds And Pearls Video Collection, previously only available on VHS.

A vinyl edition is also available, along with smaller configurations using only the remastered album, and/or with the b-sides/remixes.

More details later today...

I'm very likely in for the version with 3 CDs of vault tracks unless they use Rush/Kiss/Pink Floyd's pricing structure and ask something like $300 for 8 optical disks. So far, the Prince CD sets have all had reasonable price-tags.

I am also wondering if a lot of those vault tracks are actually sourced from the Lovesexy/Black Album era. On one hand, I am surprised to not see a box set for that, because Prince experts have said that may be the richest era for unreleased Prince material. On the other hand, I'm not surprised it was skipped because it wouldn't classify as a real "marketable" album.

That looks great. Like JosephC, I'm in unless the pricing is outrageous.

Man - this and the new Zappa set a week apart. I must have been very good - or very bad!

Still holding to that - $160 for the CD box on Prince's web site.

Sign ‘O’ The Times had a very similar format and if I recall was well under $160 on Amazon and other sites after release (it’s $128 right now)

I got notice today that there is a separate Dolby Atmos blu ray release of this one, that will not be included in the box sets. So, of course, I'll be buying both.

Thanks for the heads up. Just pre-ordered the Atmos. Want the box, but boy is it getting to be expensive!
New Zappa box
Who's Next Deluxe
Hawkwind's Space Ritual Box

Not to mention all the Cherry Red labels' related comps...

But have to love it!

Yes, but it's a lot more fun than bitching that they're not releasing anything!

I don't know if you U.S. residents can order it from Amazon Canada given how Amazon's been with shipping to other countries over the past few years, but that Canadian price for the 8 disc set is pretty sweet. It's the equivalent of $76 US dollars.

"Alice Through The Looking Glass"



Quote:
The first digital single taken from the DIAMONDS AND PEARLS Super Deluxe Edition is "Alice Through The Looking Glass". Recorded on May 28, 1991 at Larrabee Sound Studios, Studio A, Los Angeles, California, Prince used synth drums, percussion, a Proteus bass, guitar, and a series of loops to create the song.

"Insatiable (Early Mix - Full Version)"



Quote:
"Insatiable (Early Mix - Full Version)" is the second digital single from the DIAMONDS AND PEARLS Super Deluxe Edition. This previously unreleased 8:02 mix features lyrics that were ultimately edited out and reveals how "Insatiable" sounded on its initial mix, since it contains a variety of instruments that were eliminated in the final version.
