Four decades on, Prince's Parade stands as a pivotal release for Prince, reshaping his sound and marking the final chapter with The Revolution

Two of Prince's most iconic recordings have surged to new streaming highs following their powerful placement in the series finale of Netflix's Stranger Things, once again demonstrating the enduring cultural force of the Purple One's music more than four decades after its release.

NPG Records and Paisley Park Enterprises, in partnership with Legacy Recordings, have announced the tenth anniversary of Prince's HITnRUN Phase One and HITnRUN Phase Two. Marking a significant milestone, both albums will be reissued on CD and pressed to vinyl for the very first time, giving fans a chance to experience the two-part project in physical form for the first time since its original release in 2015.

Jellybean Johnson, born Garry George Johnson in Chicago in 1956, has died suddenly at the age of 69. His family confirmed his passing on Friday, only days after he celebrated his birthday.

Prince was never one to play by the rules. After conquering the world with Purple Rain, he stunned fans, critics and even his own record company by immediately pivoting into a bold psychedelic detour, Around The World In A Day. Now, four decades later, the landmark 1985 album is being celebrated with newly remastered editions, deluxe box sets and—for the first time—an immersive Dolby Atmos mix.
