Prince & New Power Generation - Diamonds And Pearls [2LP White] Vinyl Record

Diamonds And Pearls finds Prince & The New Power Generation at his most flamboyant and finely tuned, a technicolor blend of pop excess, streetwise funk, and virtuosic control.

Released in 1991, it captures Prince stepping confidently into a new decade with a new band and a sharpened sense of spectacle.

As the first album credited to The New Power Generation, Diamonds And Pearls marked a pivotal shift in Prince’s career, pairing his singular vision with a full-band dynamism that felt both contemporary and classic. The record exploded into the mainstream, going multi-platinum while reaffirming Prince’s dominance as a songwriter, producer, and bandleader. It is playful without being lightweight, polished without losing its bite.

Sonically, the album swings effortlessly between sleek pop and deep-pocket funk. Cream struts with sly minimalism, Gett Off delivers sweaty dancefloor urgency, and the title track Diamonds And Pearls glides on romantic introspection. Thunder and Money Don’t Matter 2 Night stretch the album’s emotional range, blending social commentary with expansive arrangements that reward high-volume listening.

This newly remastered 2LP edition was cut for the very first time by Prince’s original mastering engineer Bernie Grundman and pressed on 180 gram milky white marble vinyl. It is a collector-worthy presentation of a landmark album, equal parts luxury object and essential Prince statement, designed to shine just as boldly as the music itself.
