Released in July 1996, Chaos and Disorder came with a rare disclaimer penned by Prince (then known as the unpronounceable "love symbol"): "Originally intended 4 private use only, this compilation serves as the last original material recorded by [The Artist] 4 Warner Bros. Records." Prince's contentious relationship with the label was at its lowest point, and this record–a taut 39 minutes of dexterous guitar and simple but addictive pop melodies–was a crucial final link in the chain that kept him from releasing his music the way he wanted. "Someone told me that Van Halen did their first record in a week," Prince told the Los Angeles Times of the album's quick creation. "That's what we were going for–spontaneity, seeing how fast and hard we could thrash it out."
First time on vinyl. Limited edition 1xLP purple vinyl in a single sleeve.

Amazing music, amazing packaging, amazing service. A trifecta of solid soul. Prince lives because of these efforts and I am all for it.

I mean I have no words for the timing of this album. even though there is no time in space for this album to be released I mean he was such a prophet and we need these words and truths now more than ever I might have to put it on one of my favorite albums thank you so much for releasing his work I know he wanted to hold this as private the world is so grateful to share his spirit and we need it right now thank you prince for giving us the frequency to keep vibrating higher in light and love

Grateful for the Estate having reissued this one; it’s one of my personal favourite Prince albums outside the obvious ‘big hitters’. It’s good to fill this particular gap in my collection, and I look forward to (hopefully) more releases, especially any further ‘90s albums that are still out of print and expensive on vinyl, or that haven’t been released on that format before.

Chaos and Disorder is a hidden gem by Prince it's one of those albums that didn't get much publicity but from a fan perspective it's a wonderful album. I personally buy from the estate for collection purposes only because I already have most of his catalog. I encourage anyone that hasn't heard this album to buy it it's a pleasant surprise. Two thumbs up and wonderfully remastered.

This one is 1 of my favorites by Prince! I’ve always wanted this particular album to be pressed on vinyl ever since it’s 1996 debut. But now it’s finally here and it’s totally awesome! The sound is crystal clear and very crisp and the purple vinyl looks gorgeous, especially when you hold it up to the light. This is a must buy for any true die hard Prince person who simply loves and enjoys his music to add to your library/collection????????.
