− | + | A physical CD was first available for purchase at [[Prince]]'s two-show ''Piano And A Microphone Gala Event'' at [[Paisley Park Studios]] on [[21 January 2016-1|21 January 2016]]. Shortly after it was available via local stores in Minneapolis. A large distribution of the CD album in stores was planned by [[Prince]] and was scheduled for [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 29|29 April 2016]]. Although he has worked on other projects in the meantime ([[Album:_Black Is The New Black (2016) |Black Is The New Black]] and [[Album: Piano & A Microphone|Piano & A Microphone]]), '''Hitnrun Phase Two''' is the last album that came out during [[Prince]]'s lifetime (in digital), and the first one to hit the stores after his unexpected death. It is therefore not considered as a posthumous album. | |
+ | |||
+ | The album contains twelve tracks, six of which were previously unreleased in any shape or form. Initially, the album was only available as a bundle with [[Album: Hitnrun Phase One|Hitnrun Phase One]] on [[Tidal]]. Three days later it was also available as standalone download via iTunes. | ||
