Still, hearing the Purple One himself doing “Sex Shooter,” “Manic Monday,” “Holly Rock” and “Gigolos Get Lonely Too” (jeez, this one!) gives us chills. He reportedly left behind so much unreleased music, the Paisley Park estate has claimed they could potentially release a new \u003cstrong\u003ePrince\u003c\/strong\u003e album every year for the next hundred years if they wanted to. And although the Purple One - infamously overprotective of his recorded archives - is almost certainly rolling in his grave here, I mean, we can’t NOT jam this. 15 tracks altogether: 14 previously unheard originals plus the original recording of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which was previously teased as a 7-inch. This is the standard edition on black double vinyl.
