A new Super Deluxe reissue of Prince’s 1991 album, Diamonds and Pearls, has been announced and two of its previously unreleased bonus tracks have been shared: unheard song “Alice Through the Looking Glass” and “Insatiable (Early Mix – Full Version).” The reissue features 47 previously unreleased tracks and two hours of live concert footage. It is due out October 27 via Paisley Park Enterprises, in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Records. Check out both tracks below, followed by the reissue’s tracklist.

Diamonds and Pearls was credited to Prince and the New Power Generation and featured the hits “Get Off,” “Cream,” and “Diamonds and Pearls.” The reissue will be available in three different editions: Super Deluxe Edition (7CD+Blu-ray / 12LP+Blu-ray / audio-only download and streaming), Deluxe Edition (2CD / 4LP 180g vinyl), and Remastered album (1CD / 2LP 180g off-white “Pearl” vinyl in USA only / 2LP 180g clear “Diamond” vinyl, excluding USA) / download and streaming). A 120-page hardback book also accompanies the Super Deluxe Edition. This will also be the first Prince album to be released via a Dolby Atmos mix.

The New Power Generation consisted of Sonny Thompson (vocals & bass), Damon Dickson (vocals & percussion), Rosie Gaines (vocals & keyboards), Michael Bland (drums), Kirk Johnson (vocals & percussion), Tony M (vocals), Levi Seacer, Jr. (bass, guitar & vocals), and Tommy Barbarella (keyboards). Diamonds and Pearls was Prince’s best selling non-soundtrack album (meaning second only to the Purple Rain soundtrack).

Two other previously unreleased Prince songs, “All A Share Together Now” and “7 (E Flat Version),” were shared in July.

A previously unreleased Prince album, Welcome 2 America, was released in 2021.
