The Truth was reissued by Sony Legacy on 12 June 2021, as a special Record Store Day vinyl LP release as a limited run of 13,000 copies. The song Comeback was written to lament the passing of his son Amiir in October 1996 – the track was later played at Prince’s own funeral on 23 April 2016. The Truth was recorded in 1996 at Paisley Park Studios and was intended to be released by EMI Records in 1997 as a stand-alone album.ĭue to EMI’s bankruptcy that year, it was immediately decided for The Truth would receive a limited commercial release, these plans were also abandoned as it was instead packaged as a companion CD to the Crystal Ball triple disk set in 1998 and distributed under Prince’s own label NPG Records, credited to and released as Prince under the name of The Artist Formally Known As Prince ( Prince love symbol). Prince’s fans had long been hoping he would release an acoustic album. I thought I had emptied the gun with Emancipation and I wouldn’t have to record for a while, but some new things came up that are all acoustic.
