The expanded digital edition pairs the original 12-track album with 10 additional raw recordings, including acoustic versions of “The Word,” “Love” and “Te Amo Corazón,” alongside “Time of Ur Life,” “The Streets of Panama,” “Another Girl,” “Glass Cutter” and more. The physical editions pair “3121” with a Blu-ray featuring the Las Vegas concert.
Originally released March 21, 2006, through NPG Records and Universal Music, “3121” became Prince’s first album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and his fourth album to top the chart.
