Prince 'Purple Rain' Deluxe Edition, Prince 4Ever Albums Announced

(Radio.com) A Prince greatest-hits collection called Prince 4Ever and a deluxe edition of the landmark "Purple Rain" are set to be released via Prince's NPG Records with Warner Bros., the label which signed him for the first half of his professional career.

The 40-track best-of album, Prince 4Ever, will be released November 22 in the U.S. (Nov. 25 in other territories). The record will feature his best-known songs -- including "1999," "When Doves Cry," "U Got the Look," "Diamonds and Pearls," "Nothing Compares 2 U," and many more -- along with the previously unreleased song "Moonbeam Levels." The package includes a 12-page booklet with previously unpublished photos by Herb Ritts.

A remastered Purple Rain deluxe edition is also slated for release early next year. The set will include a second album of previously unreleased material. Plans for the set were arranged with Prince before his death. That album could include tracks such as "Electric Intercourse," "G-Spot," "Father's Song," "Wednesday," "All Day, All Night" and "Possessed," which have appeared on bootlegs or were re-recorded with different Prince-related acts.
