By the start of the 1990s, Prince was firmly established as a global superstar, with a string of innovative and hugely successful releases behind him, and a reputation as an exciting and provocative live performer.
In the summer of 1990 he embarked on his Nude tour, with a revamped Revolution band. The following year he debuted his 'Love Symbol' alter ego, and formed the New Power Generation.
Originally recorded for TV and radio broadcast, this superb set captures both bands on explosive form between 1990 and 1993 and is presented together with background notes and images.
