A synth‑funk manifesto — identity, politics, and provocation in eight tracks. ✦ Summary Issued on October 14, 1981 by Warner Bros. (catalogue BSK 3601), Controversy was Prince’s fourth studio album and a crucial step in his artistic expansion. Recorded at Kiowa Trail Home Studio, Hollywood Sound, and Sunset Sound, the album fused new wave, synth‑funk, and stripped‑down Minneapolis grooves, while tackling themes of sexuality, race, religion, and political paranoia. Prince produced, arranged, composed, and performed nearly everything himself, with key contributions from Lisa Coleman, Dr. Fink, and Bobby Z. The album’s title track became a defining anthem, while “Do Me, Baby” emerged as one of his most enduring slow jams. Commercially, the album reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the Soul LPs chart, spending over 30 weeks on both. In the UK, it earned BPI Silver. The release came in multiple vinyl, cassette, and 8‑track variants, including editions with a limited‑edition poster. ✦ Highlights • Fourth studio album • Recorded across Kiowa Trail, Hollywood Sound, and Sunset Sound • Synth‑funk meets new wave • Features “Controversy,” “Do Me, Baby,” and “Let’s Work” • Eight US vinyl variants; seven cassette variants; two 8‑track editions • BPI Silver certification ✦ Track Details LP – Warner Bros. – US – 1981 (BSK 3601) Side A Controversy — 7:14 Sexuality — 4:20 Do Me, Baby — 7:47 Side B Private Joy — 4:25 Ronnie, Talk to Russia — 1:48 Let’s Work — 3:57 Annie Christian — 4:21 Jack U Off — 3:12 ✦ Reissues & Global Variants (Verified via Prince Vault, Discogs, Warner Bros.) 1981 Original US Releases • LP — Warner Bros.

A baroque‑funk masterpiece — Prince and the Revolution’s final bow, wrapped in Parisian cool. ✦ Summary Issued on March 31, 1986 by Paisley Park/Warner Bros., Parade served as the soundtrack to Prince’s black‑and‑white film Under the Cherry Moon.

Retrospective acclaim has only grown — Pitchfork rated it 9.1, NME named it Album of the Year (1986), and The Guardian called it “effortless and assured… and it has ‘Kiss’ on it.” Commercially, the album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, No. 2 on the R&B chart, and went Platinum in the US.

A monumental deep‑dive into Prince’s most creatively explosive era — remastered, expanded and unveiled from the vault in unprecedented detail --- ✦ SUMMARY Released on 25 September 2020 by The Prince Estate and Warner Records, the Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe Edition represents the most ambitious archival project of Prince’s career. The original 1987 double album — widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever made — was remastered for the first time and expanded into a vast 92‑track collection across eight CDs or thirteen 180‑gram vinyl records. The set captures Prince during his most prolific period (1985–1987), a time of reinvention marked by the dissolution of The Revolution, the construction of Paisley Park, and the creation (and abandonment) of the Dream Factory, Camille and Crystal Ball projects. Overflowing with musical ideas, political commentary and genre‑defying innovation, Sign O’ The Times remains as urgent and relevant today as it was in 1987. The Super Deluxe Edition includes 63 previously unreleased tracks, a complete 1987 Utrecht concert, and a never‑before‑seen New Year’s Eve 1987 Paisley Park performance featuring Miles Davis — a historic moment captured on DVD for the first time. --- ✦ HIGHLIGHTS • Released 25 September 2020 • First‑ever remaster of the original 1987 album • 63 previously unreleased vault tracks • Complete 1987 Utrecht concert (audio) • New Year’s Eve 1987 Paisley Park concert with Miles Davis (DVD) • 120‑page hardcover book with unseen photos, handwritten lyrics and essays • Total of 92 audio tracks across 8CD or 13LP formats • Deepest archival dive into Prince’s vault to date --- ✦ EDITIONS OVERVIEW ✦ Super Deluxe Edition – 8CD + DVD • Remastered album • 45 previously unreleased studio tracks • Single mixes & edits • Utrecht 1987 concert • New Year’s Eve 1987 Paisley Park concert (DVD) • 120‑page hardcover book ✦ Super Deluxe Edition – 13LP + DVD • Same content as above, spread across 180‑gram vinyl ✦ Deluxe Edition – 3CD or 4LP • Remastered album • Single mixes & edits ✦ Standard Edition – 2CD or 2LP • Remastered album only --- ✦ KEY CONTENTS ✦ Remastered Album The full 16‑track masterpiece, including: Sign O’ The Times Play in the Sunshine Housequake The Ballad of Dorothy Parker If I Was Your Girlfriend U Got the Look I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man Adore …and more ✦ Vault Tracks (45 previously unreleased) Recorded between May 1979 and July 1987, including: Rebirth of the Flesh Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 1 & 2) Cosmic Day Emotional Pump Wally Soul Psychodelicide Forever in My Life (Early Vocal Run‑Through) And That Says What?

Brooks, Andrea Swensson and Duane Tudahl --- ✦ PRODUCTION & CONTEXT Sign O’ The Times emerged from a period of intense transformation. Between 1985 and 1987, Prince dissolved The Revolution, built Paisley Park, and created multiple albums’ worth of material — Dream Factory, Camille and Crystal Ball — before distilling the best of it into a double album that redefined pop, funk, rock and soul. The 2020 Super Deluxe Edition reveals the full scope of this creative explosion, offering unprecedented access to Prince’s vault and illuminating the evolution of one of the most important albums of the 20th century. --- ✦ LEGACY Sign O’ The Times is widely considered Prince’s magnum opus — a fearless, genre‑shifting masterpiece that captures the anxieties, joys and contradictions of the late 1980s. The 2020 Super Deluxe Edition elevates the album into a definitive archival monument, preserving Prince’s most fertile era with extraordinary depth and clarity. Dave Chappelle summed it up in the liner notes: “Prince was the first mainstream artist to wax poetic and tell our community’s story… He literally was a sign of the times.” --- ✦ PRINCE 1985–1987 MINI‑TIMELINE — THE SIGN O’ THE TIMES ERA ✦ 1985 Prince begins recording Dream Factory with The Revolution. ✦ 1986 The Revolution disbands; Prince records Camille and Crystal Ball; Paisley Park opens. Prince says: “I feel that we’re on the brink of something. It is going to be strict and wild and pretty.” ✦ Early 1987 Prince assembles Sign O’ The Times from multiple abandoned projects. ✦ March 1987 Sign “O” The Times (single) is released — a stark, socially conscious masterpiece. ✦ April 1987 The album is released to universal acclaim. ✦ June 1987 Prince performs the Utrecht concert included in the Super Deluxe Edition. ✦ December 1987 Prince performs the New Year’s Eve benefit concert with Miles Davis at Paisley Park. ✦ 2020 The Super Deluxe Edition is released, offering the most comprehensive archival exploration of the era.

A cassette‑only, club‑store exclusive — Prince turns a live jam into a collector’s grail. ✦ Summary Issued on January 31, 1997, Jam Of The Year was a cassette‑only EP sold exclusively through Prince’s retail outlet 1‑800‑NEW‑FUNK. The release featured two live tracks recorded at the Roseland Ballroom, New York City, on January 11, 1997, during the Jam Of The Year Tour. Prince intentionally marketed the tape as a “4th generation bootleg”, leaning into the underground mystique of his aftershow‑style recordings. The EP contains two tracks, “Jam of the Year” and “Face Down,” edited to flow seamlessly as if performed in a continuous set. Both tracks repeat on both sides of the cassette, following the standard format of many 1990s promo tapes. Because it was never issued on CD, vinyl, or digital formats, and was sold only through Prince’s own store, the EP remains one of the most obscure and collectible items from the late‑’90s NPG era. ✦ Highlights • Cassette‑only release • Exclusive to 1‑800‑NEW‑FUNK • Marketed as a “4th generation bootleg” • Recorded live at Roseland Ballroom, NYC • Tracks repeat on both sides • One of the rarest official NPG‑era releases ✦ Track Details Cassette – NPG Records – US – 1997 (Same program on both sides) Jam of the Year — 5:21 Face Down — 8:33 Total program length: 13:54 ✦ Reissues & Global Variants (Verified via Prince Vault & Discogs) 1997 Original Release • Cassette — NPG Records — US — Exclusive to 1‑800‑NEW‑FUNK • No barcode; no retail distribution • No CD, vinyl, or promo variants known Later Availability • Never reissued • Not included in 2020 Legacy reissues • No digital release Collector Notes • Extremely limited production • Often counterfeited — originals have crisp NPG shell printing and correct tape length ✦ Production and Context • Recorded live at Roseland Ballroom, NYC — January 11, 1997 • Captures the Emancipation Tour’s opening jam and a fierce live “Face Down” • Edited to simulate a continuous performance • Released during Prince’s independent NPG Records era • Sold only through his own retail channel, reinforcing the “for the fans” ethos ✦ Singles Released No singles were issued from this EP. ✦ Chart Performance • Not eligible for charts (limited cassette‑only release) ✦ Discography Sidebar Emancipation — 1996 Jam Of The Year (EP) — 1997 Newpower Soul — 1998 ✦ Prince Era Mini‑Timeline Nov 1996 — Emancipation released Jan 1997 — Roseland Ballroom performance Jan 1997 — Jam Of The Year EP issued 1997–98 — Jam Of The Year Tour continues ✦ Glam Flashback This tiny cassette captures the wild, unfiltered energy of Prince’s late‑’90s live shows — funky, loud, and gloriously imperfect. Sold only through his own store and wrapped in bootleg humor, it’s a snapshot of Prince’s rebellious independence during the NPG Records era. ✦ Image & Artwork Copyright Notice All images, photographs, and artwork referenced or displayed in this post remain the property of their respective copyright holders.

✦ SUMMARY Reissued worldwide on November 29, 2019, by Warner Records (catalog number R1 534315), the 2019 remaster of 1999 marked the first time Prince’s landmark 1982 double album was fully restored from the original tapes. Considered one of the most influential albums of the 1980s, 1999 captured Prince at a pivotal moment — breaking out of the R&B charts and into the global mainstream with “Little Red Corvette,” “1999,” and “Delirious.” This era also marked Prince’s historic breakthrough on MTV, becoming one of the first Black artists to receive heavy rotation. The album’s fusion of rock, funk, R&B, synth‑pop and new wave reshaped the sound of the decade and cemented Prince as a visionary force. The 2019 reissue — especially the Super Deluxe Edition — revealed just how prolific Prince was during 1981–1982. Alongside the original album, the set included 35 previously unreleased Vault tracks, rare mixes, and two complete live concerts, offering the deepest archival exploration of Prince’s early‑’80s creative universe ever released. ✦ HIGHLIGHTS • Released November 29, 2019 (worldwide) • First‑ever full remaster of the original 1982 album • 35 previously unreleased Vault tracks • 65 audio tracks across 5 CDs or 10 LPs • Includes Detroit 1982 live audio + Houston 1982 live DVD • Features handwritten lyrics, tape‑box scans, and rare photography • New liner notes by David Fricke, Duff McKagan, Andrea Swensson, and Duane Tudahl ✦ ALBUM CONTEXT 1999 arrived at a turning point in Prince’s career. After years of being categorised primarily as an R&B act, he broke through to a global audience with a sound that defied genre boundaries. The album’s success was driven by a creative explosion: Prince was simultaneously writing for himself, Vanity 6, and The Time, while recording dozens of tracks destined for the Vault. Prince himself described the period simply: “I didn’t want to do a double album, but I just kept writing…” The 2019 reissue captures this momentum in forensic detail, revealing the breadth of Prince’s experimentation — from raw demos to fully‑formed masterpieces. ✦ SUPER DELUXE EDITION CONTENTS CD 1 – 1999 (Remastered for the first time) CD 2 – 7" edits, 12" mixes, promo versions CDs 3 & 4 – 24 Vault tracks (23 previously unreleased) CD 5 – Live in Detroit – November 30, 1982 (previously unreleased) DVD – Live in Houston – December 29, 1982 (previously unreleased) Also includes a 48‑page book featuring: • new liner notes • handwritten lyrics • tape‑reel photographs • rare Allen Beaulieu photography ✦ PRODUCTION & CONTEXT The reissue was produced by The Prince Estate in partnership with Warner Records. The remastering process restored the album’s original dynamics and clarity, while the Vault material showcased Prince’s relentless creativity during the early ’80s. The live recordings — Detroit (audio) and Houston (video) — capture the 1999 Tour at full power, offering an unprecedented look at Prince’s stagecraft during one of his most explosive periods. ✦ PRODUCTION & CONTEXT The reissue was produced by The Prince Estate in partnership with Warner Records.

It offers the most complete portrait of his early‑’80s creative universe — a period defined by experimentation, ambition, and the birth of the Minneapolis sound. As David Fricke wrote in the liner notes: “A landmark collection of vision, craft, and urgency — an unprecedented immersion in the frenetic momentum and private working world of Prince in 1981 and 1982.” The release reaffirmed 1999 as a cultural milestone and deepened the world’s understanding of Prince’s genius.
