Listen to Unearthed Prince Song “Electric Intercourse” From New Purple Rain Reissue
Last fall, NPG/Warner Bros announced that Prince’s iconic 1984 album Purple Rain would be remastered and reissued in early 2017. Now, details of the reissue have been announced. Due out June 23, the reissue comes in two packages—deluxe and expanded deluxe—both of which feature a remastered version of the album (overseen by Prince in 2015) and a second disc featuring 11 songs “from the vault and previously unreleased”—six of which, a press release states, “have never been released or distributed in the collector or bootleg community.” The expanded edition features a disc of single edits and B-sides, as well as a live DVD recorded at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY, on March 30, 1985. A previously unreleased studio recording from the era, of “Electric Intercourse,” is out now—listen below.
The new release was developed with the help of plans “agreed [upon] with Prince before he passed away.” Prince’s discography was recently made available on streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify.
