VINYL -2xLP – Limited Edition Crystal CLEAR vinyl

and with a 16 page booklet.

As the world greeted the promise of a new

millennium, even Prince was experiencing a great

sense of transformation. In 2000, he announced the

reclamation of his birth name after seven years as

an unpronounceable symbol. In 2001, after a period

of study and debate with his friend and mentor Larry

Graham (former bassist for Sly and The Family

Stone), Prince converted to the Jehovah’s Witness

faith. These transformations bore fruit with the

release of The Rainbow Children at the end of 2001.

Billed as “controversial” in its press materials for its

open spiritual message, the jazz-inspired record was

Prince’s first fully independent release, issued

without any major label backing. One of its songs,

“The Work, Pt. 1,” was released by Prince as a free

download on the file-sharing service Napster; this

move, along with direct-to-consumer stream and

download options on the NPG Music Club, made

Prince a digital music visionary. The Rainbow

Children is a continued favorite among Prince’s

most fervent admirers due to its complex musical

narrative, its use of live drums and a full horn

section, and the striking album art by artist Cbabi

Bayoc, which still hangs in the hallowed halls of

Paisley Park today. The CD has long been out of

print and the original vinyl was incredibly limited

and copies fetch hundreds of dollars. This new

double LP vinyl edition comes on limited edition

crystal clear vinyl packaged in gatefold packaging

along with an exclusive Prince rainbow slipmat.
