Glam Slam Escape: Albums

HITnRUN Phase One stands as one of Prince’s most adventurous late‑career statements — a fearless blend of genres that shows his refusal to settle into nostalgia. Tracks like Hardrocklover, X’s Face and 1000 X’s & O’s highlight his ability to merge modern production with classic Prince attitude.

The cover features a stylised portrait of Prince with a large afro, mirrored circular lenses and a third “orb” on the forehead. He wears futuristic metallic clothing with geometric patterns. Behind him are circular framed discs mounted on a wall inside Paisley Park — photographed in situ rather than digitally added. The palette blends gold, black and cosmic purples, with thin, modern typography.

released in the UK on September 26, 2014, by NPG Records through a renewed license with Warner Bros. Records (catalog number 9362‑49333‑5), arriving simultaneously with Prince’s solo album Art Official Age.

A 2011 compilation featuring the first official audio release of Prince’s legendary 2004 performance of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

The indigO2 aftershows were pure alchemy — Prince stretching songs into molten funk, flipping classics inside out, and leading the NPG through deep‑night improvisations. Indigo Nights bottles that atmosphere: sweaty, spontaneous, and unmistakably alive.

Released worldwide in March 2006, 3121 is Prince’s 31st studio album, evolving from an earlier Lotusflow3r concept and introducing a new band lineup, Támar’s prominent vocals, and a #1 chart return.

A hidden NPGMC treasure — jazz fusion, chamber textures, and instrumental freedom from Prince’s most exploratory era.

One Nite Alone… Live! is Prince at his most spiritually open — a fusion of jazz, gospel, funk, and improvisation that redefined what a Prince concert could be. The performances are intimate yet explosive, with the NPG operating as a telepathic unit. The aftershow disc, long whispered about among fans, finally received its official spotlight here, capturing the raw, late‑night magic that made Prince’s aftershows legendary.

Three discs of pure NPG magic! Prince and the New Power Generation’s One Nite Alone... Live! was released as an album in the US to NPG Music Club members by NPG Records (catalog number none) on November 24, 2002, with a retail release on December 17, 2002.

Released November 24, 2002 exclusively to NPG Music Club members, One Nite Alone… The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over! captures the raw, late‑night electricity of Prince’s legendary aftershows. Sourced directly from Scottie Baldwin’s console mixes, it documents three intimate, improvisational performances from the One Nite Alone… Tour.
