プリンスさんのインスタグラム写真 - (プリンスInstagram)「Released as a promotional cassette in the summer of 1995, The Versace Experience: Prelude 2 Gold remains one of the most sought-after releases in Prince's vast catalog. 🔸 The cassette contained remixes and rare versions of the songs that Prince was creating for a variety of projects, including the @theoriginalnpg and his jazz-fusion side project, Madhouse, and was intended to preview his forthcoming album The Gold Experience, which was released just two months later. 🔸 The cassette was created during a period of great upheaval and transformation in Prince's career. He was deep into a dispute with his label, Warner Bros. Records, over creative control of his musical output, and songs on the cassette were credited to his unpronounceable symbol, which he would release his music under for the next several years. 🔸 As its title suggests, The Versace Experience: Prelude 2 Gold was distributed in a unique partnership with Versace, and was delivered exclusively to the attendees of the designer's collection at Fashion Week in Paris in July 1995. Until now, it has been widely regarded as one of Prince's rarest releases. 🔸 A limited run of 4,000 copies of The Versace Experience: Prelude 2 Gold will be released commercially for the very first time on Record Store Day 2019 thanks to a partnership between the Prince Estate and Legacy Recordings, a division of @sonymusicglobal. 🔸 And as an extra special release for fans in Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota, an exclusive purple cassette version of the Versace Experience will be available at the @electricfetusmpls, one of Prince's favorite record stores.」4月13日 4時38分
