Also included are 15 of the incredible remixes and B-sides from the era, including the never commercially released "Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Min.)" mix, all of which have also been remastered for the very first time.
At the heart of the set sit 33x previously unreleased studio recordings from Prince's legendary Vault, making up three hours of audio.
The set also includes an entire previously unreleased audio recording of Prince & The New Power Generation's preview performance of the Diamonds and Pearls tour at Prince's Minneapolis club, Glam Slam, on January 11th, 1992.
The Blu-ray features the previously unreleased Live at Glam Slam 1992 show (presented in 2K video with Dolby ATMOS / Dolby True HD 5.1 / Stereo audio), as well as the Special Olympics Concert recorded and broadcast on July 20th, 1991 (in 1080p HD video with Dolby ATMOS / Dolby True HD 5.1 / Stereo audio) and Special Olympics Soundcheck recorded on July 19th, 1991 (in 2K video with Stereo audio).
The Blu-ray content is completed by the inclusion of a restored version of the Diamonds and Pearls Video Collection (in 1080p video with Stereo audio), originally released in 1992. The Video Collection features the original promo videos for "Gett Off", "Cream", "Diamonds and Pearls", "Insatiable", "Strollin'", "Money Don't Matter 2 Night", and "Call The Law", as well as live videos of "Thunder", "Jughead", and "Live 4 Love".
Housed in a telescoping 12" box, and accompanied by a 12" 120 page hardback book featuring brand new 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.
Also features rare and previously unseen photography by Randee St. Nicholas, handwritten lyrics by Prince and a fold-out double-sided poster.
Any type of flair you could want on a Prince album is available right here—and that's not a bad thing. The 13 songs that comprise the initial version of Diamonds and Pearls remain intact, and it sounds just as great as it did 32 years ago.
