Prince '1999' reissue to feature 35 unheard songs

Prince’s classic double-album '1999' has been remastered for the very first time and expanded with 35 previously unreleased tracks for an upcoming Super Deluxe reissue. The new edition of the album will be available in deluxe and remastered versions, out Nov. 29. Released in 1982, the album was Prince’s first true crossover success, and catapulted the prolific singer-songwriter to fame as a music video star, making him one of the first black artists to be in heavy rotation on MTV. The previously unheard songs were all recorded in 1981, 1982 and early 1983. The expansive Super Deluxe Edition of the album will feature a total of 65 audio tracks across five CDs or 10 180g vinyl records, and a brand-new DVD containing a complete, previously unreleased concert from the 1999 tour.
