CLASSIC PRINCE CONCERT RESTORED

The music from Prince and The Revolution: Live, the concert film shot during Prince’s Purple Rain tour, will be released for the first time on vinyl and CD 6/3 via Sony’s Legacy Recordings.

Also available: a Blu-ray video, for which the 1985 Syracuse performance was enhanced and reconstructed, the original video source rescanned, restored and color-corrected and the original multi-track tapes remixed and remastered with selectable stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos sound. Grammy-nominated recording engineer and Prince collaborator Chris James remixed the recently discovered source audio, which had remained archived in Prince’s legendary Paisley Park vault for more than three decades.

Prince and The Revolution: Live is the first Prince release to be made available on digital streaming platforms in spatial audio; it will be delivered in Dolby Atmos.

A limited-run Collector's Edition will be on offer exclusively from the official Prince Store. Housed in a foil box, the set includes three LPs (purple, red and gold vinyl), two CDs, the Blu-ray video, a 44-page booklet, new liner notes boasting stories from all five members of The Revolution and a 24 x 36 poster.
