Rolling Stone magazine in Germany offers exclusive Prince 7″ single

World exclusive Prince seven-inch single

Later this month, the German edition of Rolling Stone magazine will be available with a ‘world exclusive’ Prince seven-inch single.

The publication (which is in German, obviously) will come with a cover-mount vinyl single which features ‘Sign O’ The Times’ on the A-side and one of the vault tracks, ‘Witness 4 The Prosecution (Version 1)’ on the B-side.

The cover of the magazine that will be available on newsstands is pictured directly above, but if you are already a subscriber or pre-order from the web shop, then you get a special collectors’ version with a previously unpublished and exclusive cover photo, taken by Prince photographer Jeff Katz. This is the image at the very top of this post. Pretty cool.

If you have managed to get yourself one of the Sign O’ The Times seven-inch box sets (limited to 1987 units and now sold out), this could be a very nice ‘bonus single’ to slot into that box set!

The magazine will be published on 24 September 2020. These can be pre-ordered online (see link below).

Sign O’ The Times is reissued on 25 September 2020, across six physical formats.
