PRINCE – „The VERSACE Experience (PRELUDE 2 GOLD)“ / „Chaos And Disorder“ / „Emancipation„ [Sep 2019]
On September 13, The Prince Estate and Legacy Recordings will release the next batch of exciting Prince reissues from his later career: The VERSACE Experience (PRELUDE 2 GOLD), Chaos and Disorder, and Emancipation.
Originally released in July 1996, Chaos and Disorder is a collection of spontaneous and tight playing that reached No. 14 on the U.K. Album Chart and No. 26 stateside, all without promotion. For its new reissue, Chaos and Disorder will be released in a 1-LP configuration on limited-edition purple vinyl and a 1-CD package. This reissue campaign not only brings the CD back on shelves after decades out-of-print, but also marks its debut on purple vinyl.
Just four months after Chaos and Disorder, Prince unleashed Emancipation. The triple album was one of his most ambitious efforts, totaling 36 songs and exactly three hours. “This is my most important record,” Prince revealed to the Minneapolis Star Tribune at the time. “I’m free, and my music is free.” Here, listeners are witness to the breadth of Prince’s influences, moods, and sensibility. As Legacy explains in their press release: “Romance and family are key themes (‘Somebody’s Somebody,’ ‘The Holy River,’ ‘The Love We Make’). Prince reflects on technology (‘My Computer’) and sex (‘In This Bed Eye Scream’), and offers new, upbeat grooves (‘Face Down,’ ‘Jam of The Year’) as well as four unique covers (Bonnie Raitt’s ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me,’ the Thom Bell-composed Philly soul classics ‘Betcha By Golly Wow’ and ‘La, La, La Means I Love U,’ Joan Osborne’s then-current rock hit ‘One Of Us’).” Now, the legendary album will be back in print on CD and available for the first time on vinyl in an elaborate 6-LP set.
Fans of obscure Prince mixes and alternate versions are sure to delight in The VERSACE Experience (PRELUDE 2 GOLD). The collection of rare material was originally pressed up as a limited-edition cassette for Paris Fashion Week attendees in 1995 and featured remixes of then-unreleased tracks from The Gold Experience, alongside special edits and unheard music by The New Power Generation, The NPG Orchestra, and the jazz-fusion side-project Madhouse, all mixed together into a seamless experience. The VERSACE Experience (PRELUDE 2 GOLD) was recently re-released on limited-edition cassette for Record Store Day, but this marks its first wide release on digital, CD, and vinyl.
