Diamonds And Pearls Super Deluxe Edition (Limited 7CD + Blu-ray Edition)

Possibly my favourite Prince album in its original form, certainly I found it to be his most consistent and while other albums would have a couple of absolute gems on them there would be a few not so hot tracks.I am not really a fan of a box set built around a single album as a few I have bought are packed out with remixes and outtakes that are only worth hearing once or twice, so when I saw this box had 3 CDs of outtakes I was sure I wouldn’t be bothering them much. Most of them turned out to be really good, Prince really was on form and was astoundingly prolific at this time.What really makes this box set a must buy for anyone with an interest in Prince is the live show from Glam Slam 1992. This is amongst the greatest concert recordings I have. The band are as tight as it gets, the energy levels are just this side of spontaneous combustion, the setlist is top notch and the performances of all involved are an absolute pleasure to listen to.

A lot for your money so many previously unreleased tracks.

This is EXCELLENT . More tracks from the famous "vault" . We need more like this . Keep 'em coming .

As described, brand new and shrink wrapped.

It’s worth it just for the Blu-ray.

Loved this album when it was originally released in 1991. This SDE is very well presented and it is great to hear the vault tracks from this period. The sound quality is fantastic throughout. Prince purists will be disappointed that some of the tracks from this time are not present like "Player" and "I wonder". The B sides disc has also scandalously omitted "Clocking the jizz" from the Gett off maxi single. The book excellently details the tracks recording dates and has some detailed information about the recording process etc. Will be interesting to see which album the estate selects next for the SDE treatment.

A must. From the greatest musician to walk the planet.

Great album and dvd! Nice Deluxe box set!!!
