October 27, Paisley Park Enterprises in collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Records will release its reissue, among other things. The original album remastered for the first time, 47 bonus tracks and a new concert lasting more than two hours from Prince's vault. In its entirety, the box set contains 75 audio tracks spread over 7 CDs or 12, 180 gram vinyls.

The box set features a newly remastered version of the album and 15 remixes and B-sides from this period, including the previously unreleased "Gett Off (Damn Near 10 Min.)". The Super Deluxe Edition also features 33 previously unreleased tracks from Prince's vault, including alternate versions of outtakes from the album, songs Prince had given to other artists and compositions recorded on the road in 1990.

Prince & The NPG unveiled the Diamonds And Pearls tour on January 11, 1992 at Glam Slam, the Minneapolis club owned by Prince. This never-before-seen live performance was mixed from 24-track master tapes and is also presented in 2K video version on Blu-ray, accompanying both Super Deluxe formats with stereo, 5.1, Dolby True HD and Dolby ATMOS audio. The Blu-ray also includes Prince & The New Power Generation's performance at the Special Olympics at the Metrodome in Minneapolis in July 1991 (in stereo, 5.1 and ATMOS), as well as the sound check of this same performance. The Blu-ray is completed by the Diamonds And Pearls Video Collection, a collection of music videos released on VHS and LaserDisc in 1993 and long out of sale.
