Released in the US in 2024 by NPG Records / Warner Records (catalogue: R2 27493 / 603497837663), this CD reissue brings Prince’s 1990 soundtrack Graffiti Bridge back into circulation with refreshed audio and restored artwork.

Reissued in 2024 by NPG Records and Warner Records, Graffiti Bridge returns as a remastered CD edition of Prince’s 1990 soundtrack — a kaleidoscope of funk, rock, gospel, and Minneapolis soul featuring Prince, the NPG, and a roster of collaborators.

The US 7" single was aimed at radio and casual listeners, with the maxi‑single following in late November. The track’s message of empowerment, combined with its tight groove and NPG chants, made it a standout moment in Prince’s transition from the Revolution era to a new musical identity.

THE MAKING OF GRAFFITI BRIDGE

Prince’s spiritual‑funk sequel to Purple Rain — a collaborative soundtrack bridging eras, bands, and visions.

Released in the US on August 2 1990 as a maxi‑single, Thieves In The Temple was the first single from Prince’s twelfth album Graffiti Bridge, which also served as the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Issued five weeks before the album, the single introduced the project with a striking blend of Middle Eastern‑influenced melodies, sparse funk, and spiritual tension.
