This will become a legendary item! Prince released two albums in 1994 and 1995, Come and The Gold Experience. The former was considered his last studio album under the Prince name, and the latter his first album under his iconic symbol, suggesting they were created by different personalities. Of course, they were both created by the same Prince.

It's well-known that when Prince was planning the release of "Come," he envisioned an original version that didn't include the title track, which forms the core of the album.

Now, incredibly, they've obtained that original master CDR, and it will be pressed directly onto a CD without any remastering, in its purest form, for permanent preservation.

The original CDR, produced in 1994, has deteriorated to the point where it's no longer playable.

In fact, this original was a highly sought-after item among Prince collectors, trading for hundreds of thousands of yen.

They've successfully restored it, completely extracted the audio, and will directly press it. This original test pressing of "Come" includes everything from the opening "Poem" to "Interactive," which wasn't included on either "Come" or "Gold" at the time, and then "Endorphine Machine," which follows.

And even "Strays of the World," later included on "Crystal Ball," this is a completely different concept of "Come," compiled from various projects under Prince's name.

And since Gold Experience later rearranged the tracks further, the Gold-related tracks here are still in the demo stage, pure Prince, with songs seamlessly connected. Because it's a test pressing, it's simple, yet in a way, complete. It's a very Prince-esque album and quite interesting.

The paper sleeve, which replicates Prince's original masters, is also a nice touch!
