Diamonds And Pearls was unveiled to the world on October 1, 1991, and it instantly had a huge commercial and cultural impact, becoming the biggest selling non-soundtrack album of Prince's career. Over the past three decades, the reasons for its enormous success have been discussed extensively. Not least of these was Prince's decision to finally engage with major television exposure and an extensive tour of Europe, Japan and his first trip to Australia. The album also offered a diverse collection of sounds that could appeal to a wide variety of listeners. Diamonds And Pearls had something for everyone.

I have loved every Super Deluxe Edition vinyl release from Prince so far, and though this album may not be as heralded as 1999 or Sign o' the Times, it is a classic of gargantuan proportions. I forgot how much I loved every song on the album, and some of the vault tracks are absolute gems that merited earlier release. I've had numerous tracks stuck in my head since I received and played it.

So very pleased with my purchase. I am absolutely in love with this collection. I am a huge Prince fan and Diamonds and Pearls is in the the top 5 of my favorite albums from him. I also have the deluxe Sign of the Times collection and I can't wait for Purple Rain to come out as well.

Awesome music in an eloquent package...a million stars!!! Over 30 years ago, I received the LP version of "Diamonds and Pearls" as a gift from my brother (who worked overseas), and I can say that this is one of my personal treasures. I was immediately blown away by the music, which was staggering in its brilliance. Over the years, I repurchased several times (cassette and cd versions) and made this masterpiece my gift-of-choice to favorite friends and relatives until cd copies became too hard to find. The deal with "super deluxe editions" is that you should get improved production and increased clarity that is noticeable to even the untrained ear; attention to detail in the packaging should then be second only to the remastered sound quality on the vinyl and/or the CDs. Here, then, is a lavish, masterfully assembled set for those who basically worship the ground Prince and his musical collaborators walk on. The 12" hardbound book is a large size picture book, not some lump of paper wedged into a digipack, with beautiful reproductions; rarely or never before seen photos and portraits; insightful essays; and updated bios of the NPG. There's 33 previously unreleased songs from the Vault, and 14 live tracks !?? This should be in any serious collection of rock, funk, or dance music. This is pure Heaven for those of us who know the music, and worth every penny. I've got to thank my brother again for turning me on to this so many years ago.
