The live version later became the closing track of the download‑only album C‑Note. Originally written and first recorded with The Revolution in August 1985 after an argument with Susannah Melvoin, the song was revisited and re‑recorded at Paisley Park in March 1992, though no studio version has ever been officially released. Its appearance as a 2003 live download cemented Empty Room as one of Prince’s most mythic vault creations — a song whispered about for decades, finally s

As a members‑only digital download, the single was not eligible for chart tracking, but it became a cornerstone of the NPG Music Club’s 2003 output and later reappeared as part of the full C‑Note digital album.

Copenhagen was released on October 29, 2002, as a free MP3 download exclusively for European members of the NPG Music Club. Recorded live during a soundcheck on October 25, 2002, at Falconer Salen in Frederiksberg, Denmark, the track represents Prince’s deep dive into jazz‑funk improvisation during the One Nite Alone… Tour. The NPG Music Club version runs approximately eight minutes and includes a 3-minute, 20-second silent tribute to Miles Davis, later edited out for the sho

“Days Of Wild” was recorded live on June 18, 2002 at the Centre Molson – Hémicycle in Montreal, Quebec, Canada during the One Nite Alone… Tour. The recording was captured directly from the mix console by Prince’s longtime sound engineer Scottie Baldwin, giving the release a uniquely immediate, unpolished energy.

Released as a free NPG Music Club mp3 on March 22, 2002, “Silicon” originated in the late 1999–2000 Paisley Park sessions and later appeared in edited form on The Slaughterhouse.

Mellow was made available as a free digital download on January 14, 2002, exclusively for America Online members via AOL.com. The track, originally the seventh song on Prince’s 24th studio album The Rainbow Children, marked one of his earliest experiments with mainstream digital distribution outside the NPG Music Club. The Rainbow Children, released in late 2001, was Prince’s first album issued under his reclaimed name after retiring the “O(+>” moniker, and Mellow stood out a

The song, a warm and intimate ballad from The Rainbow Children, showcased Prince’s softer, jazz‑inflected songwriting during a period defined by spiritual themes and renewed artistic independence. Alongside the digital release, the track also appeared as a CD‑R promo in both France and the United States, making it one of the earliest promotional singles of the post‑symbol era.

U Make My Sunshine is a fascinating snapshot of Prince’s early‑2000s digital experimentation — a warm, gospel‑soul duet wrapped in puzzles, fan‑driven distribution, and the chaotic freedom of open licensing. Angie Stone’s presence adds emotional depth, while the B‑side’s social commentary nods to the Staple Singers’ legacy. Though modest in chart performance, the single remains a cult favourite for its rarity, its aborted album connection, and its place in Prince’s evolving o

Cybersingle was first offered as a free MP3 download on July 14, 2000 via NPGOnlineLtd.com, following a 1:04 teaser excerpt streamed on the site since June 1. Arriving just weeks after Prince officially reclaimed his birth name on June 30, 2000, the track was still released under the Love Symbol moniker because it had been recorded earlier that spring. The release marked one of Prince’s earliest experiments with large‑scale digital distribution, giving fans direct access to n

Released in the US on November 23 1999 via Arista / NPG Records, The Greatest Romance Ever Sold was the sole single from Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic. Issued as both a CD maxi‑single and a commercial / promo 2×12", it showcased Prince’s millennial crossover ambitions: Neptunes remixes featuring Q‑Tip, club‑driven Jason Nevins versions, and two appearances from Eve. The single reached No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and made strong showings across R&B and dance sales charts.

The single “1999 (The New Master)” backed with various remixes was released independently by NPG Records on February 2, 1999.

This marked the song’s third appearance on the chart and brought its cumulative total to 28 weeks since its original 1982 release.

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.

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.
