<!-------ALBUM TEXT ------->
|introduction           =  <b>One Nite Alone... The Aftershow: It Ain’t Over</b> is the second live album by [[Prince]], although it is available for purchase only as part of a 3CD box-set also including his first live album [[Album: One Nite Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]] (both credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]]; the first albums to receive that credit since 1992’s [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link= Album: Symbol]]). On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 29|29 May 2020]], [[The Prince Estate]] re-released the album with Sony’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Legacy Recordings] on vinyl (individually) and in a 4CD+DVD box set called [[Collection: Up All Nite With Prince - The One Nite Alone Collection|Up All Nite With Prince - The One Nite Alone Collection]] ([[Album: The Rainbow Children|The Rainbow Children]] and [[Album: One Nite Alone...|One Nite Alone...]] and [[Album:_One_Nite_Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]] were also re-released on vinyl individually on the same day).

The CD is the first official audio document of [[Prince]]’s legendary aftershow concerts (video of an aftershow had been released previously on [[Home Video: The Sacrifice Of Victor|The Sacrifice Of Victor]] VHS) and includes tracks from three different aftershows following shows on the [[One Nite Alone... Tour]].

Six of the nine tracks are live versions of tracks originally included on [[Prince]]’s studio albums released between 1986 and 1994. [[The Everlasting Now]] (Vamp) is a short reprise of the track from 2001’s [[Album: The Rainbow Children|The Rainbow Children]] (a full version of which is included on the companion album [[Album: One Nite Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]]). [[We Do This]] and the medley of [[Just Friends (Sunny)]] / [[If You Want Me To Stay]] are previously-unreleased in any form by [[Prince]], and both feature guest vocalists ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] on [[We Do This]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musiq_Soulchild Musiq Soulchild] on [[Just Friends (Sunny)]] / [[If You Want Me To Stay]]).

The audio was recorded directly from the mix console of Prince’s long time sound engineer, [[Scott Pakulski|Scottie Baldwin]].
