A new podcast series called Prince: The Story of 1999 will explore the making of Prince's landmark double album, 1999. Listeners will hear first-hand accounts about the making of the album in interviews with his trusted collaborators, alongside never-before-heard music from Prince’s storied vault. The first of four episodes are available to stream now, here

The story of 1999 begins in 1981 with one of the most legendary concert debacles in rock history. When Prince opened for the Rolling Stones, the relative newcomer was mostly greeted with hostility from their fans, but, being the creative force that he was, the event only solidified in Prince a resolve to forge a new path. One year later, in 1982, Prince forever altered the course of pop music with his genre-defying Minneapolis Sound that set 1999 apart from almost everything that had ever come before it.

A massive “1999 Super Deluxe” box set, due out Nov 29, reveals that Prince made enough quality music in 1982-83 for at least one or two more stellar albums while he was crafting the double album that would give him his commercial breakthrough. It sold 4 million copies and gave Prince his first top-10 single with, “Little Red Corvette,” as well as the iconic title track, which was a hit four different times over three decades. The timeless album is remastered for the very first time and features 35 previously unreleased tracks from Prince’s legendary vault that showcase the boundless creative flow Prince had tapped into during this era. Pre-order your copy here.

Prince: The Story of 1999 is a unique audio experience offering fans an exclusive sampling of the unreleased music that will be included on the highly anticipated, Super Deluxe Edition reissue of 1999. Stream now, here.
