While Prince rests in paradise, his music lives on through revivals such as the forthcoming 40 track compilation of his biggest hits and OG Prince fans’ lesser known favorites expected for release on November 22nd. The compilation is titled Prince 4Ever, and will wipe the dust off previously unreleased material coming straight out of Prince’s hefty vault. One of the most noteworthy tracks that you can expect to find on the first of supposedly many to come posthumous collections is “Moonbeam Levels”, which was recorded in 1982 as part of the 1999 sessions. Other titles include “Little Red Corvette”, “Gotta Stop (Messin’ About), and “Glam Slam”.
Shortly succeeding the release of Prince 4Ever will be a deluxe reissue of the legendary album Purple Rain, which is expected to drop sometime in the early hours of 2017. This reissue was originally planned and announced in 2014 as part of the 30th anniversary of the film sharing the album’s title, and according to Billboard was given the deal of approval by Prince before his untimely passing. Although no specific information has been announced about what fans can expect from the reissue’s tracklist, it has promised to include a second album of previously unreleased material. This could mean anything from material from the Purple Rain tour, unrecorded cuts from back in the day such as “Electric Intercourse” and “All Day, All Night” and the unabridged versions of Purple Rain tracks like “Computer Blue” totaling to about 14 minutes.
