Prince Musicology

Available On Vinyl For the First Time As Colored 2LP-Set!

The Prince Estate and Sony Legacy, present the first round of physical titles set for release as part of the ongoing and definitive Prince catalog project first announced in August 2018. Three essential full-length Prince albums, Musicology, 3121 and Planet Earth, will be available for the first time ever on highly collectible, colored vinyl. Set for release in February 2019, these three albums celebrate a sustained period of renewed creative energy and commercial triumph in Prince's multi-faceted career and marked his return to the top of the popular mainstream, a position he maintained while simultaneously pushing the envelope and breaking industry norms pertaining to marketing, distribution and live performance.

Prince's studio trilogy of Musicology, 3121, and Planet Earth presents the artist at a high point in his creative genius during the first decade of the 21st century. The 2004-2007 epoch gave us some of Prince's most iconic and indelible performances, including his unforgettable appearance with Beyoncé at the 2004 Grammy Awards, his show-stopping induction at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a month later, and his incandescent triumph at the Super Bowl in February 2007.

Musicology (2004) resulted in two Grammys – Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance ("Musicology") and Best R&B Vocal Performance – Male ("Call My Name") – and has been certified RIAA double platinum. Concurrently, Prince pioneered a cutting edge industry-first marketing and distribution strategy for the album, bundling a copy of the record as a gift to every fan who purchased a ticket to his monumental "Musicology Live 2004ever" tour, witnessed by over 1.47 million music lovers worldwide.
