It's perhaps the second-best Prince news next to CD remasters: Prince's three albums of the 1980s are being repressed on vinyl.
Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981) and the double-album 1999 (1982) are all being repressed on 180-gram vinyl. While they don't seem to (and likely will not) boast new remastering, it's particularly interesting to see Prince's Warner Bros. catalogue getting any kind of attention by Rhino - especially some of the earlier, bawdier works that the devout Jehovah's Witness has sort of renounced.
Of course, it could mean nothing, also. Order the discs here (they're set for release on April 19), hit the jump to reacquaint yourself with track lists and let's hope for some expanded editions on CD in, oh, let's say the next few decades.
