History

Historical Context

In November 1995 the Beatles launched the Anthology project—TV documentary and three double-album sets released that week, with Anthology 1 selling 450,000 copies on its first day. The unprecedented archival approach showed how estates could monetize unreleased material. Following that model, the Prince Estate issued the Timeless album on 28 August 2026, compiling ten tracks from 1977-2016.
