This DVD-ROM is a copy of possibly the most comprehensive collection of Prince songs/ outtakes/ rehearsals/live performances & demos ever compiled on one disc,it also includes many videos, images, rare interviews, cover versions and hidden extras. It is a true  must have for any Prince fan new or old. I have been collecting Prince memorabilia for 30 years and this is one of my go to items. It consists of nearly 800 songs and nearly 70 hours of music, most of which is unreleased material. Nearly all of the music is accessible via DVD, the rest can be accessed through PC. Below is just a few of the many tracks on the disc, there a far to many to list them all, the disc also includes many tracks from the long cancelled NPG music club. This is a true insight into a genius at work. Please be aware this is a copy of my original.
