Prince Store Exclusive Gold Vinyl - Limited Edition
Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously archived by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album.
The vinyl edition has the 12 songs spread across three sides on 2 LPs in gorgeous gatefold packaging, with a custom etching on the fourth side.
Release date July 30th, 2021
*Max order quantity of 2 units per person.

Just got my copy. Wish i could distinguish the gold vinyl from the black vinyl without opening. Would like to have left it unopened. Maybe some kind of sticker.

First record had a defect on the label, but they replaced it. Second copy had beautiful packaging and beautiful gold vinyl. Pressing quality is outstanding, as is the music itself. Excellent album, even for casual Prince listeners.

I am not partial because I love Prince and adore anything he puts out, but this W2A release, in whatever format you listen is phenomenal. Of course, he is the greatest musician, but the attention to detail, the meaning and clarity of the lyrics, and tune is astounding. I am currently dancing to Hot Summer on repeat. I thank Prince and the talented musicians that made this happen. This added more fun to my Summer. “Real music by real musicians.” I miss him!

Fantastic album by Prince. Just as always Prince makes music ahead of its time. This album was completed over 10 years ago but it sounds and feels like it was made in the last year. It has all the great things you love about Prince on this album. It only makes me hungrier for the next one. I love it!
