Prince - Chameleon Vol.1-10 Boxset 10CD

Prince's Chameleon Vol. 1-10 gets a long-overdue reappraisal in this new pocket-sized edition - a compact take on a sprawling body of demos, rarities and outtakes that offers a window into his lesser-seen working processes. Originally issued as a ten-volume Japanese box set, this anthology pulled together studio sketches, alternate versions and previously unreleased ideas stretching across various phases of his career. While much of the material is unpolished and fragmentary, it maps out the incredible range and obsessive pace of the Minneapolis artist's studio life, revealing side roads he swerved away from, and others that evolved into major statements. The edition strips it all down physically, but leaves the musical overload intact.
