PRINCE

LP

PIANO & MICROPHONE 1983

180 GRAM VINYL

This raw, intimate recording, which took place at the

start of Prince’s career right before he achieved

international stardom, is similar in format to the

Piano & A Microphone Tour that he ended his career

 with in 2016. The nine track, 35-minute album

features a previously unreleased home studio

cassette recording of Prince at his piano captured in

1983.

The private rehearsal provides a rare, intimate

glimpse into Prince’s creative process as he worked

through songs which include “17 Days” and “Purple

Rain” (neither of which would be released until

1984), a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case Of You”,

“Strange Relationship” (not released until 1987 on

his critically acclaimed Sign O’ The Times album),

and “International Lover”.

The album also includes a rare recording of the 19th

Century spiritual “Mary Don’t You Weep” which will

be featured during the end credits of Spike Lee’s

BlacKkKlansman in theatres August 2018.

For fans of Prince’s spontaneous live medleys,

tracks 1-7 of the album are presented in that same

format as they were originally recorded.
