Intimate and Astonishing Live 2002 Release Featuring Prince On Solo Piano and Vocals Available On Vinyl LP for the First Time: One Nite Alone... Never Was Sold in Stores
Available on LP for the first time, Prince's twenty-fifth studio album, One Nite Alone..., was released on May 14, 2002 by NPG Records and finds the artist on acoustic piano and vocals (save for occasional rhythm from drummer John Blackwell and the ambient cooing of Divinity and Majesty, Prince's pet doves). The intimate affair includes favorites like "U're Gonna C Me" and a cover of "A Case Of U," written by one of Prince's biggest musical influences, Joni Mitchell. One Nite Alone... was initially released as a gift to members of the NPG Music Club, and was available as a separate album and included in the limited edition One Nite Alone... Live! box set. While One Nite Alone... was never sold in stores, it became a highly-desirable release. Original CD copies are collectible rarities, and many fans have only heard the album through MP3 file-sharing. Colored vinyl LP.
“My experience in the MoFi room with Jonathan Derda and Prince's 'Avalanche' was one of my all-time favorite musical moments and discoveries of CES. It was the perfect song in the perfect place at the perfect time.”
—Stephen Mejias, AudioQuest
"Wow. Gut wrenching is what I wrote in my notes after the first few notes. The 'wow' was my surprise that this was Prince.”
—Michael LaVorgna, AudioStream
“Besides helping MoFi to have the best sound at CES, this unforgettable disc placed one heart-rending (unreleased) Prince song at the center of my CES 2017 consciousness.”
