MINNEAPOLIS — Here comes another Prince reissue — 1985’s “Around the World in a Day” — but fans are overwhelmingly disappointed that, unlike other posthumous Purple reissues, there is no promise of any unreleased vault tracks.

Available on Nov. 21, the “Around the World in a Day” repackage includes the original album remastered and mixed in Dolby Atmos for the first time, according to an announcement on X. The music will be available on streaming, CD, blue marble vinyl, picture disc and a deluxe three-LP edition.

The lack of a super-deluxe edition with coveted unreleased and rare tracks from Prince’s vaunted vault has fans fuming.

Here are some comments on X:

Scott4343: “This kind of mistreatment of princes estate risks diminishing his legacy and reverence to future generations”

Vince Mon: “7 inch edits but no vault tracks. I usually bite my tongue but this takes the cake. It keeps getting worse and worse”

Daniel Wood: “This is trash. Do better”

DCO75: “Please, everyone responsible for this, step down”

Giacomo Burrasca: “Utterly pointless”

Nina: “Who wants vault tracks when you can buy t-shirts, mugs and stickers? I must have been dreaming when they said the vault was free”

This forthcoming reissue contains B-sides like “She’s Always in My Hair” and “Girl” plus dance mixes and remixes of several tracks, including a nearly 22-minute version of “America.”

The follow-up to the blockbuster “Purple Rain,” this Prince & the Revolution project featured the hits “Raspberry Beret,” “Pop Life” and “America” as well as “Paisley Park.”

This will be the first major Prince reissue since “Diamonds & Pearls” in 2023, but that super-deluxe version included three discs of vault tracks plus two discs of concert recording and a concert Blu-ray.

Meanwhile, while announcing the reissue, the official Prince store unveiled a new line of “Around the World in a Day” merchandise including T-shirts, hoodies, mugs and a $140 hardcover suitcase. One fan calculated that it would cost a total of $527.70 to buy one of each new item.
