Simultaneously more focused and ambitious than any of his previous records, Purple Rain finds Prince consolidating his funk and R&B roots while moving boldly into pop, rock, and heavy metal with nine superbly crafted songs. Prince designed Purple Rain as the project that would make him a superstar, and, surprisingly, that is exactly what happened. In addition to the 2015 Paisley Park Remaster and “From The Vault & Previously Unreleased,” it includes “Single Edits & B-Sides” and a never-seen on DVD of Prince and The Revolution Live! in 1985. This 3-CD/1-DVD Expanded Edition is a true collector’s item and the ultimate vision of Purple Rain. This is Prince’s final word on his definitive masterpiece. Purple Rain Deluxe boasts the official 2015 Paisley Park Remaster of the original tapes overseen by Prince himself in addition to a new “From The Vault & Previously Unreleased” disc with 11 unheard gems from the storied vault. Purple Rain remains one of history’s most important, indisputable, and influential albums, but you’ve never heard it like this before.
