Prince‘s seminal 1984 album ‘Purple Rain’ is set to receive the deluxe posthumous treatment with 2 disc and 3 disc + DVD reissues set for release on June 23.

Purple Rain Deluxe features previously unreleased material while the Deluxe expanded version also includes B Sides and single edits of tracks from Purple Rain and a live DVD of Prince And The Revolution, Live at the Carrier Dome,  Syracuse, NY, March 30, 1985.

Both collections include Six tracks that have never been released or distributed in the collector or bootleg community include Possessed – the ’83 Prince solo version, never heard before; Electric Intercourse – the studio version not known to exist before it was discovered at Paisley; Father’s Song – a full version that previously only a minute and half snippet of has been heard in the Purple Rain movie.

We Can Fuck – a track that has never circulated as the full, 10 minute version with these lyrics; and Katrina’s Paper Dolls – a finished master of the song, which has previously only circulated as a demo.

Additionally, all of the material is taken from the source and mastered by Bernie Grundman, the mastering engineer who worked on the original album.
