Album Preview: The six-disc reissue of Prince's breakthrough '1999' album has more than four hours of unreleased material.
a compilation of his recordings of his songs made hits by others — this sprawling edition of his 1982 breakthrough album, “1999,” which comes out Friday and in its “super deluxe” edition spans 5 CDs and a DVD, is the estate’s first real deep dive.
But where it gets really interesting is the unreleased material in the four remaining discs, which contain more thanof “Vault Tracks” — 24 previously unreleased studio recordings, ranging from different versions of well-known album songs to long-bootlegged tracks to ones only certifiabledorks knew existed — and two full concerts from the era, one of them a DVD. For serious fans, Santa’s overloaded sled just crashed through the roof.
The very best in the batch is the longtime bootleg favorite “Moonbeam Levels,” a gorgeous, cinematic ballad that was so renowned among fans that Elvis Costello covered it at a Prince tribute concert in 2012. Other highlights include the buzzing “Purple Music,” a 10-minute groove that would have fit smoothly between sides two and three of “1999.
Some are half-baked — where “Vagina” might conjure visions of a long-lost Vanity 6 track, it’s a garden-variety falsetto clap-along. “Turn It Up” and “You’re All I Want” sound like castoffs from his earlier albums; “Yah, You Know” and “No Call U” feel like they were recorded quickly and forgotten.
