“Princemas” is how a friend of mine referred to last Friday, the release date of a six-disc/10-LP box set devoted to the recording sessions that led to the creation of Prince’s landmark 1999 album. This Super Deluxe Edition sports 65 audio tracks, including the original 1982 album, a disc of b-sides, remixes, and edits, a pristine recording of a concert that took place November 30, 1982, and most excitingly, two discs of previously unreleased recordings from Prince’s legendary vault. (Tack on another 12 tracks via the included DVD that was recorded at another show during this era.) For fans, “embarrassment of riches” doesn’t even begin to describe what this is. The Prince Estate has knocked it out of the park with this one, delivering fans hours of gorgeous-sounding material, including songs that had not widely circulated (if at all) in the rather vast and decades-long Prince bootleg trade.

A huge motivation for writing this post is to signal to all involved that this is a job well done and that I want more. I cannot even imagine what an expanded version ofwould look like or the size of a box that would be needed to appropriately capture Prince’s blisteringly prolific process during the sessions that eventually spawned his 1987 masterpiece. A suitcase? I don’t care. I want it. I will pay whatever for it. I will listen to all of it. Much of it repeatedly, I’m sure.

—an icy sheen, arpeggiated synths that shiver along, Prince’s beloved LinnDrum—its sessions were varied. The vault discs sport a host of new wave and synthetic rockabilly tracks that “Delirious” merely hinted at. There were marathon funk workouts , torch songs , a dabbling with the psychedelia that would intensify post-.

Prince would be disgusted by how his estate is being pimped out.
