Prince / Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic / Vinyl and CD reissues

Prince‘s 1999 album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic is being reissued in April as a 2CD+DVD set and as two double purple vinyl packages.

The three-disc optical set – dubbed Ultimate Rave – brings together Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, its 2001 remix companion Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic (original only available as an NPG music club release) and a DVD of the live concert event Rave Un2 The Year 2000. This looks like a great package (see image below).



As for the vinyl, both the album and remix album are issued on double purple vinyl – the same treatment given recently to both Musicology and 3121.

The Rave album features collaborations with Sheryl Crow, Gwen Stefani and includes ‘The Greatest Romance Ever Sold’ and ‘Man ‘O’ War.’ These were the last full releases credited to Prince’s ‘unpronounceable symbol’.

All formats will be released on 26 April 2019.
