Prince & The New Power Generation (April 14, 2001) Peace - Tour CD Single

A tour‑only NPG release from the early 2000s, originally intended for the unreleased Peace album

RELEASE DETAILS Date: April 14, 2001 (first available at concerts) Catalogue: 7135 PEACE Format: CD Single Country: United States (tour-exclusive)

A-Side: “Peace” – 5:34 / 5:33 B-Side: “2045: Radical Man” – 6:36

THE STORY Peace was first made available on April 14, 2001 at Prince’s Hit N Run Tour performance at the Atlanta Civic Center. Sold exclusively at concerts alongside The Daisy Chain and Supercute, the single was never commercially released. The title track had already appeared as an NPG Music Club download months earlier, while “2045: Radical Man” had been released the previous year on the Bamboozled soundtrack. Both tracks later appeared on The Slaughterhouse, but the single was originally intended to accompany the New Power Generation’s planned 2000 album Peace, which was ultimately aborted.

CONTEXT & NOTES The single’s packaging is distinctive, with the disc mounted on a card backing and secured by a Velcro connector. Due to its limited distribution (sold only at shows and the 2001 Celebration festival at Paisley Park), it was not eligible for chart placement. This was one of the final physical releases under the New Power Generation name during this transitional period.
