In celebration of the reissue’s unveiling, Prince’s estate shared a previously unreleased track titled “Alice Through the Looking Glass.”
The reissue comes with a 120-page book equipped with a foreword by Chuck D, photos, essays, a Dolby Atmos mix of the LP on Blu-ray, and two hours of concert footage shot at the late artist’s Minneapolis club, Glam Slam, in 1992. The collection will arrive as a 7xCD or 12xLP set.
