{"product_id":"prince-welcome-2-america-2-lp-vinyl","title":"Prince – Welcome 2 America (2-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShelved for over a decade and released posthumously in 2021, Welcome 2 America arrived as a reminder that Prince was perpetually working several steps ahead of the culture. The album captures him in a reflective, almost prophetic mode, leaning into funk, soul, and jazz-inflected grooves at a moment when much of the music world had moved on to chasing other sounds. He didn't care, and that stubborn creative independence is exactly what makes this one worth your time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album. The vinyl edition has the 12 songs spread across three sides on 2 LPs in gorgeous gatefold packaging, with a custom etching on the fourth side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Welcome 2 America (5:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Running Game (Son Of A Slave Master) (4:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Born 2 Die (5:03)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. 1000 Light Years From Here (5:46)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Hot Summer (3:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Stand Up And B Strong (5:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Check The Record (3:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Same Page, Different Book (4:41)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. When She Comes (4:46)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. 1010 (Rin Tin Tin) (4:42)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Yes (2:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. One Day We Will All B Free (4:41)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 194398598017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony Legacy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.30.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e NPG Records (19439859801); Legacy (19439859801); Sony Music (19439859801)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Welcome 2 America – 5:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Running Game (Son Of A Slave Master) – 4:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Born 2 Die – 5:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 1000 Light Years From Here – 5:46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Hot Summer – 3:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Stand Up And B Strong – 5:18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Check The Record – 3:28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Same Page, Different Book – 4:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1 When She Comes – 4:46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2 1010 (Rin Tin Tin) – 4:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC3 Yes – 2:56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC4 One Day We Will All B Free – 4:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirk Johnson – A\u0026amp;R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMichael Howe (3) – A\u0026amp;R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrevor Guy – A\u0026amp;R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrince – Arranged By, Composed By, Performer, Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathieu Bitton – Art Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrevor Guy – Art Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernie Grundman – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernie Grundman – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMike Ruiz – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandee St. Nicholas – Photography By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJason Agel – Recorded By, Mixed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547782140222,"sku":"422544","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633306726718-transparent-v2.png?v=1791443533","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/prince-welcome-2-america-2-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
