One Nite Alone... Live!, also containing One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over
was released as a retail 3-disc box-set.
One Nite Alone... Live! is Prince's first live album, attributed to Prince and the New Power Generation, marking the first such credit since 1992. Initially, it was exclusively sold as part of a 3CD box-set, which included One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain't Over! (the NPG Music Club edition also came with One Nite Alone..., previously released only through the club). On May 29, 2020, The Prince Estate, in collaboration with Sony's Legacy Recordings, reissued the album on vinyl and as part of a 4CD+DVD box set titled Up All Nite With Prince - The One Nite Alone Collection. Additionally, The Rainbow Children, One Nite Alone..., and One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain't Over! were individually re-released on vinyl the same day.
The CD represents the first audio recording of Prince's live performances, featuring tracks from nine distinct shows across eight venues during the One Nite Alone... Tour. The tracklist closely mirrors a standard setlist from the tour, yet it omits several cover versions that were frequently performed (including A Case Of You, Love Rollercoaster, La-La Means I Love You, and Sing A Simple Song), focusing solely on Prince's original compositions.
The release featured live tracks spanning a significant part of Prince's career. Six out of the album's 27 tracks first appeared on 'The Rainbow Children.' Two tracks debuted on 'One Nite Alone...', which was released six months prior. Most of the tracks originated from Prince's studio albums released between 1979 and 1999. The track 'Xenophobia' was previously unreleased, except for a different live version included in the 'One Nite Alone... Live Sampler' promo, available a few months earlier.
The audio was recorded directly from the mix console of Prince’s long time sound engineer, Scottie Baldwin.
