This fall, Prince’s landmark 1982 album, 1999, will receive the deluxe reissue treatment with a packed box set that will feature 35 previously unreleased tracks plus a concert film.
The largest version of the package, due out Nov. 29, will come in the form of five CDs or 10 LPs, each with an additional DVD for the concert film, which takes from Prince’s performance at the Houston Summit on Dec. 29, 1982. The CDs/LPs will feature the original album plus music recorded during that era, along with live audio from a Nov. 30, 1982 late-night show in Detroit.
The super-deluxe set also comes with a book featuring handwritten lyrics, photos and liner notes with essays from Rolling Stone writer David Fricke, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagen, writer/radio host and author of Got to Be Something Here: The Rise of the Minneapolis Sound Andrea Swensson, and Duane Tudahl, author of multiple books on Prince’s life and career.
Check out the full tracklist for the box set below. Prince’s estate is also offering two-CD/four-LP and single-CD/two-LP versions of the collection.
