On what would have been the singer's 60th birthday, Prince's estate has revealed plans for a posthumous live album. Titled Piano & a Microphone: 1983, it's due out on September 21 via Warner Bros.
 
As the title implies, the collection features a stripped-down live performance by Prince. It was recorded at a rehearsal at Prince's home studio in Chanhassen, MN.
 
The collection features "17 Days," a then not-yet-released "Purple Rain" and a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You." It also features "Mary Don't You Weep," and the version from the upcoming album is available to stream now.
