Prince - Diamonds And Pearls | Super Deluxe Edition Grammy FYC

The Prince Diamonds and Pearls Super Deluxe Edition has been nominated for Best Historical Album at the 67th annual Grammy Awards! This exhaustive deep dive exploration comes as either a 12LP or 7CD set brimming with 75 tracks and clocking in at over 6 and a half hours, plus a packed blu-ray of video material, all packaged in a luxe box with a gorgeous 120 page hard cover book. The archival set was produced for NPG Records by L. Londell McMillan, Charles F. Spicer, Jr and Duane Tudahl and includes the classic, hit-filled album remastered for the first time, 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. All of the studio material was newly mastered by Bernie Grundman.

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 by Chris James and mastered by Chris Wood, rounding out the audio content of the 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 1992.

The 120-page hardback book which accompanies the SDE set features dozens of 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.

[yiorgosorion]

They should have retrospectively given him a Grammy for Sign o the times a long time ago because we all know he was robbed of that.
Plus, they should have a Prince lifetime achievement award or sth like that for him.
