Yesterday on June 7th on what would've been Princes 60th birthday it was announced that his catalogue will have a special addition - Piano & A Microphone 1983.
The album will be released on September 21st and it contains 9 tracks, solo with just a piano and a microphone and they are believed to have been recorded in his home in 1983.

You can listen to "Mary Don't You Weep" from the album now:

His very last tour was also a Piano and a Mocrophone tour.  A friend of mine who lives around Atlanta asked if I wanted to go. I did!!!  But then he saw he would be busy so we ended up not getting tickets. "Maybe next time!"  

That very Atlanta show was his final concert.  

...yeaaaaaaaaaa. A story I hate sharing. 

 

Anyway, this will be awesome!  I will keep my eye out for it.

The fact it seems like a private personal recording has me thinking too. He played many shows with just the piano. They could have picked one of those. I'm sure some were recorded. I have no self control on this stuff tho.

He didnt want ANYTHING that was never released to be released. He said as much. His estate is going directly against his wishes.

It's the same stuff they did and will do again with MJ. The estate cant help themselves. They look at the vaults and its dollar signs. Theyve already had the special limited shirts from each era they did on that website awhile back. The Paisley Park Tours, etc.  Its always fascinating to watch how money can push a person's wishes out of the way so quickly.

Yeah it really is sad how people can milk money out of dead people. They could at least do a little good for the money. Like when Lioness: Hidden Treasures was released the profit went to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
