Warner Bros. is set to release the first song from the vault as part of a two disk greatest hits package, due to his stores in the US on 22 November 2016 and worldwide from 25 November.
In a canny move from Prince’s former record label, the previously unreleased track Moonbeam Levels, recorded in 1982 it is perhaps the the most sought after track by Prince fans, and is to make its official appearance as part of the set and will in no doubt have fans scrambling to buy it. The release, titled 4Ever, will mark Prince’s fourth Greatest Hits compilation from Warner Bros. but is the first since Prince’s death on 21 April 2016 to contain a recording from his fabled vault. The full track list for 4Ever is below and will come with a 12 page book containing previously unpublished photos of Prince taken by the late Herb Ritts.
Warner Bros. have also confirmed the release of Purple Rain Deluxe in early 2016, a remastered version of Prince’s seminal album. Purple Rain was remastered in 2014 to mark its 30th anniversary, however, this was later cancelled at the star’s request. But what is more tantalizing is that this will be joined by an accompanying album full of previously unreleased material.
