Posthumous Prince albums to include unreleased music

Two new albums will feature previously unreleased and unheard tracks from the late singer Prince's vault of recordings.

Prince 4Ever, available in the United States on Nov 22, will feature Moonbeam Levels, originally recorded in 1982, Warner Bros Records and NPG Records said last Friday.

Early next year, a new remastered and remixed version of Prince's 1984 record Purple Rain, which he agreed with before his death, will be released, featuring old and new songs.
