A rare direct‑order acoustic statement — Prince’s first and only single from the intimate album The Truth…. RELEASE DETAILS Date: February 14, 1997 Catalogue: None assigned (Direct Order Only) Format: CD Single Country: United States Label: NPG Records Album: The Truth… (1997) A-Side: The Truth THE STORY Released exclusively through the 1-800-NEW-FUNK phone line and website on Valentine’s Day 1997, “The Truth” b/w “Don’t Play Me” was the only single issued from Prince O(+>’s

Released January 31, 1997 exclusively through Prince’s 1‑800‑NEW‑FUNK store, this cassette‑only EP captured two raw live cuts from the Roseland Ballroom in New York. Marketed tongue‑in‑cheek as a “4th generation bootleg,” it became one of the rarest official NPG‑era releases.

“Somebody’s Somebody” was released on January 13, 1997 as the second promotional‑only single from Emancipation, Prince’s 19th album and the third credited to the unpronounceable symbol. Issued exclusively in the United States, the promo arrived two months after the album’s release.

Backed with Right Back Here In My Arms, the single appeared in multiple formats, including a limited edition with a fold‑out poster housed in an orange slipcase. Commercially released only in the UK and Australia (with the US receiving promo‑only editions), the single reached No. 11 on the UK Gallup Singles Chart, becoming one of the strongest Emancipation‑era chart performances.

Emancipation is Prince’s nineteenth studio album and his first triple album, released under his symbol name shortly after fulfilling his Warner Bros. contract. It marked his artistic freedom with NPG Records / EMI.

Slave / New World is one of the most symbolic artefacts of Prince’s mid‑’90s transformation — a handmade bridge between the defiant end of the Warner era and the creative liberation of Emancipation. Handed directly to fans inside Paisley Park, the cassette captures the intimacy, urgency, and rebellion of a moment when Prince was redefining his identity, his sound, and his relationship to the music industry. A true collector’s treasure.

Gold is the soaring, emotional climax of *The Gold Experience* — a symbol‑era epic that Prince often described as the true successor to Purple Rain. Paired with the fiery, hometown‑proud Rock ’N’ Roll Is Alive!, the single captures both his grand romanticism and his fierce musical defiance. Though it charted modestly in the US, its UK Top 10 success and the cult status of its B‑side have cemented Gold as one of the era’s most beloved releases.

The B‑side, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Alive! (And It Lives In Minneapolis),” was previously unreleased and generated notable press attention. Prince wrote and recorded it quickly as a direct response to Lenny Kravitz’s hit “Rock and Roll Is Dead,” reclaiming the genre’s vitality and tying it back to his hometown.

Co‑produced and arranged with longtime collaborator Ricky Peterson, the track appeared in multiple versions including the Extended Remix, Album Version, Quiet Night Mix (featuring Eric Leeds on saxophone), and several edits. The single peaked at No. 20 on the UK Gallup Singles Chart, remaining for three weeks, and was issued across vinyl, CD, and cassette formats with regional variations in Australia, Canada, and the US.

A worldwide maxi‑single showcasing the emotional core of The Gold Experience — complete with extended mixes, regional variants, and one of ’s most powerful ballads.

A second wave of anticipation surrounds these Wembley dates — not just because they mark the end of the UK leg, but because they capture the artist formerly known as Prince at a moment of fierce reinvention. London audiences are promised a night where funk, theatre, and creative defiance collide on one of the city’s biggest stages.
