Prince & The NPG — Diamonds and Pearls Beginnings CD
 
The Album Before the Album — A True Collector's Prototype
 
Before Diamonds and Pearls became the masterpiece that defined Prince's early 1990s commercial peak, it existed in a completely different form. This rare CD captures the 27th November 1990 album configuration — an early prototype version that serious Prince collectors have long regarded as one of the most fascinating documents in his entire catalogue.
 
What Makes This Special
 
This is not the album you already know. It is the album that existed before the final decisions were made — packed with alternate versions, outtakes that never made the finished record, and a tracklisting that reveals how differently Diamonds and Pearls was originally conceived. A window into Prince's creative process at one of the most productive periods of his career.
 
Note: the tracklisting on this release incorrectly lists Diamonds and Pearls as track 4 and Schoolyard as track 5 — this is accurate to the original prototype configuration.
