Prince Purple Rain Reissue, Greatest Hits Album Announced

A reissue of Prince’s 1984 classic Purple Rain has been announced. The remastered, deluxe reissue arrives in early 2017 via NPG Records/Warner Bros, and has been developed using plans that were “agreed [upon] with Prince before he passed away,” according to a press release. The Purple Rain reissue will also “arrive with a second album of previously unreleased material.” More details will be revealed closer to the release date.
