Prince: "Purple Rain" expanded reissue and greatest hits album announced

Prince's milestone album "Purple Rain" will be re-released in a new, remastered, expanded, deluxe edition in early 2017 via NPG Records/Warner Bros. The full operation has been developed using plans that were “agreed [upon] with Prince before he passed away”, according to a press release. The "Purple Rain" reissue will also feature "a second album of previously unreleased material”. More details will be revealed later.

Moreover, the Purple One will also be the focus of a new greatest hits album called "Prince 4Ever", due out on November 22 in the U.S. and featuring 40 of his best-known tracks, as well as a previously unreleased one titled “Moonbeam Levels”.

Check out the album artwork and full tracklist for that below.
