|introduction = '''Your Show''' is the 11th track (tenth song) on [[Liv Warfield]]’s second album, [[Album: The Unexpected|The Unexpected]], and was co-written by [[Liv Warfield|Warfield]] and [[Prince]].<br />
<br />
Basic tracking dates are not known, but the track is believed to have been recorded in 2013, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. In February 2016, '''Your Show''' was available as [[Tidal]]’s ''Purple Pick of the Week'' along with this explanation from "[[NPG Records]]" of the track’s origins:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>''[[Liv Warfield|LIV WARFIELD]] ASKED [[Prince|PRINCE]] 4 A BLAXPLOITATION SOUNDTRACK FEATURING A REAL ORCHESTRA SIMILAR 2 THE MUSIC SHE GREW UP WITH IN PEORIA, ILLINOIS. SO HE GOT SOME OF HIS FAVORITE STUDIO MUSICIANS 2GETHER AND RECORDED THIS “UNEXPECTED ENDING.”''</blockquote><br />
<br />
Strangely, all digital releases of the album, including the pre-release album stream, include the full-length 7:11 version of the song, while CD versions of the album contain a 5:34 edit of the track instead. No reason is known for this change.<br />

|introduction = '''The Unexpected''' is the second studio album by [[Liv Warfield]] (the first to include input by [[Prince]]), released in February 2014. The album includes two songs written or co-written by [[Prince]]: [[Wow|The Unexpected]] and [[Your Show]]. Additionally he is credited as executive producer on the whole album.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Sessions and compiling'''<br />
<br />
According to an interview [[Liv Warfield]] gave to [http://www.oregonlive.com/music/index.ssf/2014/01/liv_warfield_prince_unexpected_jimmy_fallon.html Oregon Live], [[Prince]] wrote the title track for [[Liv Warfield|Warfield]] after she had already decided on the album’s title; she did not have a title track for the album until that point. <br />
<br />
While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking of [[The Unexpected]] and [[Your Show]] is likely to have taken place in 2013 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. The rest of the album was recorded in Portland, OR.<br />
<br />
[[Prince]] released his own version of [[The Unexpected]] with [[3rdEyeGirl]] (now titled [[Wow]]) on their album [[Album: Plectrumelectrum|Plectrumelectrum]] later in 2014.<br />
<br />
'''Promotion'''.<br />
<br />
The album was preceded by the digital release of two singles, ''Why Do You Lie?'' and ''Catch Me If You Can''. The album reached position 24 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album chart.<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = '''Pandemonium''' is the fourth full-length studio album by [[The Time]], and was released in conjunction with the band’s appearance in the movie [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
The album was developed largely from an album started by just [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day]] (although using the name [[The Time]]), called [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] - see [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] for details.<br />
<br />
The album contains 10 songs and 5 segues. Unlike the three previous albums, '''Pandemonium''' contained significant input from band members, and only five songs of the album were written, produced and largely performed by [[Prince]] (previous albums were almost entirely handled by [[Prince]]). He is also credited at the ASCAP as the author of four of the segues. On the album, all songs and segues were credited to [[The Time]] only.<br />
<br />
[[Prince]] was also added as a writer on the copyright information for [[Pandemonium]] indicating that he was involved in this track to a lesser degree also.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The album produced two commercially-available singles, [[Single: Jerk Out|Jerk Out]] and [[Single: Chocolate|Chocolate]], and [[The Time]] promoted the album heavily on TV and on tour. [[Single: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]] was also planned as a single, but was canceled and replaced by [[Single: Chocolate|Chocolate]]. <br />
<br />
Frictions in the band while performing together caused [[Jesse Johnson]] to be voted out of the band, however, and [[Jimmy Jam]] and [[Terry Lewis]] left to work on their production work, so promotion for the album ended in early 1991. Still, the album sold more than [[The Time]]’s previous albums. <br />
<br />
The album reached number 18 on the US Billboard Pop Chart, and number 9 on the Billboard R&B Chart.<br />

|introduction = '''It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night''' is the sixth track on the second disc of [[Prince]]’s ninth album [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. The track was placed as the penultimate track on the third disc of the triple-album [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], where it remained the penultimate track of the album. A live version was also included in the concert movie [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]].<br />
<br />
The basis for the track was recorded live on [[25_August 1986|25 August 1986]] at Le Zénith, Paris, France, during a show on the [[Parade Tour]] (at the soundcheck earlier in the day, recordings were made [[Susannah’s Blues]], [[Strange Relationship]], a cover version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Temptations The Temptations]' [[I Can’t Get Next To You]] a first run-through of '''It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night'''). The song has a horn line reminiscent of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Brown James Brown]’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Pants_(James_Brown_song) Hot Pants].<br />
<br />
Overdubs and mix were done between [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 22|22]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, with [[Jill Jones]] recording her lead vocal on the 26th. [[Sheila E.]] recorded her ‘Transmississippirap’ on the night of [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 26|26]]/[[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 27|27 November 1986]]. [[Sheila E.]] was not in the studio, but recorded her rap over the phone from a hotel on the bank of Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she was on tour with Lionel Richie. The Ohio river coalesces with the Mississippi in Kentucky, but it is the Mississippi river that has to be crossed, when going from Cincinnati to Hollywood, California, where the rap was recorded.<br />
<br />
Although recorded with the full [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] band, the song is credited only to [[Prince]]. It was included as the sixth track on the third and final disc of the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] album, and was kept for inclusion as the album developed into [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]].<br />

|introduction = '''Over The Rainbow''' is an unreleased cover version of the track originally written for the 1939 movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Oz_(1939_film) The Wizard Of Oz] (in which it was sung by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Garland Judy Garland]), recorded twice in the nineties at [[Paisley Park Studios]]. <br />
The song was recorded by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) and given to [[Támar Davis|Ashley Davis]] (who went on to be known as [[Támar Davis|Támar]] eleven years later) through [[Morris Hayes]] who was working on demos with her at the time, during the same set of sessions as [[On Your Own]] sometime in 1994. [[Támar Davis|Ashley Davis]] was a teenager who has just left the group [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny’s_Child Girl’s Tyme], an early incarnation of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny’s_Child Destiny’s Child]. She met [[Morris Hayes]] through a cousin of her and she was invited to record some songs at [[Paisley Park Studios]] but she didn’t meet [[Prince]] at that time. <br />
When [[Prince]] and [[Támar Davis|Davis]] began to work together again in early 2005, and [[Támar Davis|Davis]] was renamed [[Támar Davis|Támar]] (later [[Támar Davis]]), '''Over The Rainbow''' is not known to have been worked on further with her, or to have been considered for [[Támar Davis|Támar]]’s first album, then titled [[Album: Milk & Honey (2006)|Beautiful, Loved & Blessed]] (which was later renamed [[Album: Milk & Honey (2006)|Milk & Honey]]).<br />
<br />
[[Prince]] worked on the song again in June 1995, with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacy_Francis Stacy Francis], at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He met her in London, England during the [[The_Ultimate_Live_Experience_1995|The Ultimate Live Experience Tour]]. [[Prince]] offered his help with a couple of songs for the solo album she was working on after she left the American girl-band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_Girlfriend_(band) Ex Girlfriend]. Her lead vocal overdubs on '''Over The Rainbow''' were recorded during the same set of sessions as [[Journey 2 The Center Of Your Heart]]. Her solo project never got off the ground however and she chose to launch an acting career. <br />
<br />
[[Támar Davis|Ashley Davis]]’ and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacy_Francis Stacy Francis]’ versions of '''Over The Rainbow''' remain unreleased. It is possible, but unclear, that the portion of '''Over the Rainbow''' heard in the 'Versace Experience' remix is one of this recordings or one newly made circa 2006.<br />

|introduction = '''Moonbeam Levels''' is song recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 6|6 July 1982]] (the day before [[Lady Cab Driver]]), at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. It was released as the only previously-unreleased track on the first posthumous compilation of [[Prince]]’s music, [[Album: 4Ever|4Ever]], and in 2019 in a slightly longer version as the fifth track on the ''Vault Tracks part 2'' disc of a ''Super Deluxe Edition'' edition of the [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]] album.<br />
<br />
Even though it was recorded during the sessions for [[Album: 1999|1999]], and considered for that album, it was never placed on a configuration of it. It was worked on further in June 1983 and considered for, but also not placed on any configurations of [[Album: Purple Rain| Purple Rain]], and subsequently also for [[Album: Around The World In A Day| Around The World In A Day]], possibly [[Album: Parade| Parade]] and a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 25|25 November 1986]] configuration of the [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_1986|Crystal Ball]] set that would evolve into [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. Finally it was also considered for inclusion on the aborted [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]] album (different from the 1999 album [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]]), as the ninth and final track on the mid-January 1989, configuration of the album before it was abandoned when [[Prince]] began work on the [[Album: Batman|Batman]] soundtrack album. <br />
<br />
In early 2002, during an online chat to promote the second year of the [[NPG Music Club]], the moderators asked if members would be interested in a pristine copy of [[Moonbeam Levels]], hinting that it might be available as part of the membership package. The song, however, remained unreleased until after [[Prince]]’s death.<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = <b>The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)</b> is a compilation album of [[Prince]]’s studio work, initially given away as a promotional cassette to attendees of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versace Versace] collection of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_fashion_week Paris Fashion Week] over the course of three consecutive days, beginning [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_8|8 July 1995]]. <br />
It was re-released worldwide (on cassette) in limited quantities (11,000 copies) for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Store_Day Record Store Day] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 13|13 April 2019]], and six months later on all formats and regular commercial release (with reissues of two other albums by [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]], [[Album: Chaos And Disorder|Chaos And Disorder]] and [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]]) on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 13|13 September 2019]]. The 2019 editions became [[Prince]]’s ninth compilation album and the sixth posthumous release. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Initial 1995 release'''<br />
<br />
The 1995 cassette was mostly a promotional tool for [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s then upcoming album [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], but also contained tracks from other planned projects, the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]]’s second album [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]] (which had already been released in Europe), [[Madhouse]]’s third album [[Album: 24 (1994)|24]] (which was ultimately left unreleased) and [[The NPG Orchestra]]’s [[Album: Kamasutra|Kamasutra]] (which was released in early 1997).<br />
<br />
Unlike other [[NPG Records]] sampler cassettes of the era, many tracks were remixed or edited specifically for this release to make listening to the cassette a complete listening experience. In addition, several tracks feature overdubbed vocals by [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] of either "Versace" or "The Versace Experience". As such, many of the tracks are not available in the same form elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Also unusually for [[NPG Records]] sampler cassettes, '''The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)''' was released in conjunction with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] This is likely due to the links with [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], which was planned for release by [[NPG Records]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 12|12 September 1995]], as indicated on the cassette insert, although the release was later postponed to [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 26|26 September 1995]].<br />
<br />
Only 300 copies of the cassette were made. Artwork for a CD-version was also made, but it is unlikely that any promos were actually pressed on CD at that time.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''2019 reissues'''<br />
<br />
With only 300 copies pressed and distributed only to attendees of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versace Versace] collection of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_fashion_week Paris Fashion Week], the 1995 edition of '''The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)''' became a collectible item. [[The Prince Estate]] made replicas of this cassette available to the public for the 2019 edition of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Store_Day Record Store Day] in the USA, Europe and Japan. A special ‘purple edition' edition, limited to 1,000 copies was offered for sale from Minneapolis music store [http://www.electricfetus.com Electric Fetus] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 25|25 April 2019]]. Interestingly, the 2019 reissues by [[NPG Records]]/[[The Prince Estate]] were released in conjunction with Sony’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Legacy Recordings] while the original 1995 cassette bears was offered by [[NPG Records]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Music_Group Warner Bros]. <b>The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)</b> is the fifth release by [[The Prince Estate]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Legacy Recordings] after the 2018 [[Album: Anthology: 1995-2010|Anthology: 1995-2010]] compilation and the reissues of the [[Album: Musicology|Musicology]], [[Album: 3121|3121]] and [[Album: Planet Earth|Planet Earth]] albums earlier in 2019.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The first 2019 reissue was a special release for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Store_Day Record Store Day] (on the same day as a reissue of [[Album: His Majesty’s Pop Life|His Majesty’s Pop Life]]). The general September release was preceded by a “digital single” of [[P. Control|Pussy Control]] (Club Mix Edit) on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August 23|23 August 2019]] followed by [[Rootie Kazootie]] (Edit) on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 6|6 September 2019]].<br />
<br />
The compilation reached number 2 on the [[Billboard_Top_R&B_Albums|Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums]] chart and 170 on [[The Billboard 200]].<br />

|trivia = On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September_29|29 September 2006]], a brand new '''Versace Experience''' was aired during the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donatella_Versace Donatella Versace] Spring/Summer 2007 women’s collections show at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Fashion_Week Fashion Week] in Milan, Italy with [[Prince]] in the audience. The 2006 '''Versace Experience''' was not available on hard format and was aired only during this fashion show. [[Prince]] re-recorded (vocals and instruments) some songs specifically for the event (with some 'Versace' shout-outs) and mixed them together. Two versions were made : a 16-minute mix contained the following tracks: [[Show_Intros|The Journey To The Hanamachi (intro)]] / [[Over The Rainbow|Over The Rainbow (intro)]] / [[Around The World In A Day]] / [[Lolita|Lolita (intro)]] / [[Satisfied]] / [[Black Sweat]] / [[Kiss]] / [[Shhh]]. The second one is 14-minute long and doesn’t have [[Satisfied]]. It contains a new version of [[Love]], a longer version of [[Lolita]] and shorter versions of the other songs from the first mix: [[Show_Intros|The Journey To The Hanamachi (intro)]] / [[Over The Rainbow|Over The Rainbow (intro)]] / [[Around The World In A Day]] / [[Lolita]] / [[Love]] / [[Black Sweat]] / [[Kiss]] / [[Shhh]] / [[Kiss|Kiss (reprise)]]. It is unclear which one of thoses two mixes was aired during the show. <br />
<br />
*The new versions of [[Love]] and [[Black Sweat]] were also included in an other mix aired during this Fashion week. This compilation contained songs by [[Prince]] (sometimes in a remixed form) and other unrelated artists. [[Prince]]’s involvement in this third mix may be limited to the 'Versace' versions of [[Love]] and [[Black Sweat]]. His contribution to the House remix of [[Kiss]] is uncertain. This 17-minutes mix contained the following songs : Intro / [[Kiss]] (House version) / [[Let’s Go Crazy]] intro over a house beat / [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Is_in_the_Heart Groove Is In The Heart] ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deee-Lite Deee-Lite])'' / [[U Got The Look]] / [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto_Life_(song) Ghetto Life ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_James Rick James])'' / [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_Up!_(song) Word Up!] Remix ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_(band) Cameo])'' / Really Love You (04 Summer Tour Remix) ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney Paul McCartney])'' / [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groove_Is_in_the_Heart Groove Is In The Heart (Reprise)] ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deee-Lite Deee-Lite])'' / Freakin’ ''([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundstream_(band) Soundstream])'' / [[Kiss]] (House version - reprise).<br />
<br />
*Some newspapers stated that [[Prince]] offered to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donatella_Versace Donatella Versace], two months before his passing, the 11-minute instrumental that was played at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Fashion_Week Milan Fashion Week] in June 2016. Since the reports were confusings and mixed different stories with the previous ''Versace Experiences'', it is unclear if that was really the case and if the instrumental that was aired was really composed by [[Prince]].<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = <b>His Majesty’s Pop Life</b> (subtitled "The Purple Mix Club") is a compilation album of [[Prince]]’s studio work, initially released in 1985 as a promotional record in Japan only, following the commercial release of [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]] and its associated singles. At that time, it was [[Prince]]’s third promotional compilation album (after a [[Album:_Prince_Sampler|1984 sampler]] and [[Album:_Strange_Tales_From_The_Rain|Strange Tales From the Rain]]). <b>His Majesty’s Pop Life</b> was re-released worldwide in a limited quantity (14 000 copies) for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Store_Day Record Store Day] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 13|13 April 2019]], becoming [[Prince]]’s eight compilation album and the fifth posthumous release. In 2020, the album received a wider retail release in Japan only, including its first release on CD.<br />
<br />
The first disc includes versions of the tracks released as singles from [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]] (only [[America]] is included in its album version, while the others are remixes originally included on the various 12" single vinyl releases). <br />
<br />
The second disc includes versions of some of the single releases from the previous two albums, [[Album: 1999|1999]] and [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], with the addition of the extended version of [[Erotic City]], which had been released as the b-side of [[Single: Let’s Go Crazy|Let’s Go Crazy]]. <br />
<br />
As such, the double-disc album comprises recordings from three [[Prince]]/[[Prince and the Revolution]] studio albums (although mostly in different versions) and one single, all released originally between 1982 and 1985. Because of the separation of tracks from different eras over the two discs, the second disc is almost double the length of the first, and, as such, the first is played at 45 rpm (which was standard for singles), and the second at 33 ⅓ rpm (the standard for LPs).<br />
<br />
Of note is that both [[Prince]] and [[Sheila E.]] had created remixes of [[Pop Life]], and the version included on the record is billed as [[Pop Life]] (Fresh Dance Mix) (the one created by [[Sheila E.]]) while it is the Extended Version created by [[Prince]] instead.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
With a limited number pressed and distributed only to DJ’s in Japan, the 1985 release of <b>His Majesty’s Pop Life</b> became a collectible item. The 2019 reissue was a special release for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Store_Day Record Store Day], with 14 000 copies available worldwide (on the same day as a cassette replica of [[Album: The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)| The Versace Experience (Prelude 2 Gold)]]). The cover of the reissue bears the [[NPG Records]] inprint as well as [[The Prince Estate]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros. Records] logos and a “WRECKA STOW DAY EXCLUSIVE” sticker referring to a scene in the [[Film:_Under The Cherry_Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]] film. The compilation was re-released on CD in Japan in 2020.<br />
<br />
The compilation reached number 184 on [[The Billboard 200]] and 19 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums charts.<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = '''Welcome 2 America''' is the first full previously-unreleased studio album of [[Prince]] material to be released posthumously, and the tenth posthumous album release overall. Recorded in 2010, the album was tentatively planned for release in 2011, likely as a follow-up to [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] and in conjunction with the [[Welcome 2 America Tour]], which ran from December 2010 to May 2011. The album was abandoned at the time for unknown reasons, however. If released at that time, it would have been [[Prince]]’s 36th full-length studio album. The posthumous release makes use of what’s believed to be the final configuration of the album. Contrary to some previous releases by [[The Prince Estate]], there was no technical necessity to do new mixes of the songs. <br />
<br />
A deluxe edition of the album includes a blu-ray video of the [[28 April 2011|28 April 2011: The Forum: Inglewood, CA, USA]] show on the [[Welcome 2 America Tour]] (part of the "Twenty One Nite Stand" in California).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
The bulk of the album was recorded by [[Prince]] with [[Chris Coleman]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] in about a week and a half of recording at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA, from [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_10|10 March 2010]] to [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_19|19 March 2010]]. Additional recordings with [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]], [[Elisa Dease]] and [[Morris Hayes]] took place during the Spring.<br />
<br />
[[Black Muse]] is assumed to have been recorded around the same time but it’s unclear if it was at any point slated for inclusion on the album.<br />
<br />
The released version was built from three reference CDs found by [[The Prince Estate]] in 2019, each containing different configurations of the album. [[Morris Hayes]] was commissioned to build the final tracklist from these three cds. The official version is similar to one of the configurations which also included [[Cause And Effect]]. It was decided not to retain this song for the final version because it was attached to the [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] album ([[Prince]] quotes titles from this album in the lyrics).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Musicians input</b><br />
<br />
'''Welcome 2 America''' contains more contributions from others than its predecessor, [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] and is a band-oriented album, with musicians and/or vocalists appearing on all tracks. Drummer [[Chris Coleman]] and bass guitarist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] make their only appearances on a [[Prince]] album. [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]], who had been present throughout [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]], appear on all of the songs except [[When She Comes]]. [[Shelby J.]] is also the co-lead vocalist on [[Running Game (Son Of A Slave Master)]] and provides a rap on [[Same Page, Different Book]]. [[Morris Hayes]] co-produced half of the songs of the album. [[1010 (Rin Tin Tin)]] is the only song to feature [[Prince]] as the sole musician (with [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]] on backing vocals). [[John Blackwell]] plays drums on [[1000 Light Years From Here]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Track releases</b><br />
<br />
[[Hot Summer]] was premiered on Minnesota public radio station [http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/ 89.3 The Current’s website] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 7|7 June 2010]], [[Prince]]’s 52nd birthday, prior to the album’s intended release. [[Same Page, Different Book]] was streamed as audio only over a static video on [[3rd_Eye_Girl_Streams|3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel]] in January 2013 (as [[Same Page Different Book]]). [[1000 Light Years From Here]] was released in an entirely different form (with new lyrics and arrangements) in 2015 on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]], included in full as a 3:05 coda to the track [[Black Muse]] (as such, the title [[1000 Light Years From Here]] is not used on the album’s tracklist). An alternate recording of [[When She Comes]] with different verses was also released on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The album was announced and available to pre-order on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 8|8 April, 2021]]. The title track, [[Welcome 2 America]], was made available on streaming and download platforms, and a 55-second promo video was made available to promote the set. The accompanying vinyl single, [[Single: Welcome 2 America|Welcome 2 America]] with an exclusive live b-side was also announced on the official website. [[Born 2 Die]] was also made available for download as a preview two months before the release of the album. A second teaser was made available through [[Hot Summer]], released on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 22|22 July 2021]]. A 7" single of [[Single:_Hot_Summer|the song]] was included as a cover mount with the August 2021 edition of Rolling Stone magazine in Germany. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] and [http://www.thecurrent.org/ The Current] radio-station produced a four-part podcast series, presented by Minneapolis Music journalist Andrea Swensson, [[Shelby J.]] and [[Morris Hayes]] titled “Prince: The Story of Welcome 2 America”. In this audio-documentary [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld], [[Chris Coleman]], [[Elisa Fiorillo]] and [[Liv Warfield]], among others, share stories about the making-of the album.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Charts</b><br />
<br />
The album reached position 7 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and 70 on the Billboard 200. It failed to reach top 10 positions in Europe, Australia and Japan.<br />
<br />
The album entered [[Billboard Top R&B Albums]] at number 1 and at number 4 on the [[The Billboard 200]] chart.<br />

:''Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously archived by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album.''<br />

<br />
:''The Deluxe Edition of Welcome 2 America combines the 2LP and CD versions of the album with a never before released Blu-Ray of Prince’s full April 28, 2011 performance at the Forum, part of the Welcome 2 America Tour’s historic 21 Nite Stand in Los Angeles. The show is presented in stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos, and includes 24 tracks from across Prince’s career, from his biggest hits to fan favorites to ten rare covers. In addition, the deluxe edition features a 32 Page, 12x12 book, exclusive poster and an embossed vellum envelope of limited edition memorabilia all housed in a luxe, gold embossed package. Experienced as a complete package, the Deluxe Edition provides an immersive view of Prince’s creative genius during his spontaneous, energetic, and thought-provoking Welcome 2 America era.''<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = '''Welcome 2 America''' is the first full previously-unreleased studio album of [[Prince]] material to be released posthumously, and the tenth posthumous album release overall. Recorded in 2010, the album was tentatively planned for release in 2011, likely as a follow-up to [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] and in conjunction with the [[Welcome 2 America Tour]], which ran from December 2010 to May 2011. The album was abandoned at the time for unknown reasons, however. If released at that time, it would have been [[Prince]]’s 36th full-length studio album. The posthumous release makes use of what’s believed to be the final configuration of the album. Contrary to some previous releases by [[The Prince Estate]], there was no technical necessity to do new mixes of the songs. <br />
<br />
A deluxe edition of the album includes a blu-ray video of the [[28 April 2011|28 April 2011: The Forum: Inglewood, CA, USA]] show on the [[Welcome 2 America Tour]] (part of the "Twenty One Nite Stand" in California).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
The bulk of the album was recorded by [[Prince]] with [[Chris Coleman]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] in about a week and a half of recording at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA, from [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_10|10 March 2010]] to [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_19|19 March 2010]]. Additional recordings with [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]], [[Elisa Dease]] and [[Morris Hayes]] took place during the Spring.<br />
<br />
[[Black Muse]] is assumed to have been recorded around the same time but it’s unclear if it was at any point slated for inclusion on the album.<br />
<br />
The released version was built from three reference CDs found by [[The Prince Estate]] in 2019, each containing different configurations of the album. [[Morris Hayes]] was commissioned to build the final tracklist from these three cds. The official version is similar to one of the configurations which also included [[Cause And Effect]]. It was decided not to retain this song for the final version because it was attached to the [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] album ([[Prince]] quotes titles from this album in the lyrics).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Musicians input</b><br />
<br />
'''Welcome 2 America''' contains more contributions from others than its predecessor, [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] and is a band-oriented album, with musicians and/or vocalists appearing on all tracks. Drummer [[Chris Coleman]] and bass guitarist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] make their only appearances on a [[Prince]] album. [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]], who had been present throughout [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]], appear on all of the songs except [[When She Comes]]. [[Shelby J.]] is also the co-lead vocalist on [[Running Game (Son Of A Slave Master)]] and provides a rap on [[Same Page, Different Book]]. [[Morris Hayes]] co-produced half of the songs of the album. [[1010 (Rin Tin Tin)]] is the only song to feature [[Prince]] as the sole musician (with [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]] on backing vocals). [[John Blackwell]] plays drums on [[1000 Light Years From Here]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Track releases</b><br />
<br />
[[Hot Summer]] was premiered on Minnesota public radio station [http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/ 89.3 The Current’s website] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 7|7 June 2010]], [[Prince]]’s 52nd birthday, prior to the album’s intended release. [[Same Page, Different Book]] was streamed as audio only over a static video on [[3rd_Eye_Girl_Streams|3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel]] in January 2013 (as [[Same Page Different Book]]). [[1000 Light Years From Here]] was released in an entirely different form (with new lyrics and arrangements) in 2015 on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]], included in full as a 3:05 coda to the track [[Black Muse]] (as such, the title [[1000 Light Years From Here]] is not used on the album’s tracklist). An alternate recording of [[When She Comes]] with different verses was also released on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The album was announced and available to pre-order on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 8|8 April, 2021]]. The title track, [[Welcome 2 America]], was made available on streaming and download platforms, and a 55-second promo video was made available to promote the set. The accompanying vinyl single, [[Single: Welcome 2 America|Welcome 2 America]] with an exclusive live b-side was also announced on the official website. [[Born 2 Die]] was also made available for download as a preview two months before the release of the album. A second teaser was made available through [[Hot Summer]], released on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 22|22 July 2021]]. A 7" single of [[Single:_Hot_Summer|the song]] was included as a cover mount with the August 2021 edition of Rolling Stone magazine in Germany. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] and [http://www.thecurrent.org/ The Current] radio-station produced a four-part podcast series, presented by Minneapolis Music journalist Andrea Swensson, [[Shelby J.]] and [[Morris Hayes]] titled “Prince: The Story of Welcome 2 America”. In this audio-documentary [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld], [[Chris Coleman]], [[Elisa Fiorillo]] and [[Liv Warfield]], among others, share stories about the making-of the album.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Charts</b><br />
<br />
The album reached position 7 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and 70 on the Billboard 200. It failed to reach top 10 positions in Europe, Australia and Japan.<br />
<br />
The album entered [[Billboard Top R&B Albums]] at number 1 and at number 4 on the [[The Billboard 200]] chart.<br />

:''Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously archived by Prince before its release, the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince’s concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album.''<br />

In addition, the deluxe edition features a 32 Page, 12x12 book, exclusive poster and an embossed vellum envelope of limited edition memorabilia all housed in a luxe, gold embossed package. Experienced as a complete package, the Deluxe Edition provides an immersive view of Prince’s creative genius during his spontaneous, energetic, and thought-provoking Welcome 2 America era.''<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = '''Welcome 2 America''' is the first full previously-unreleased studio album of [[Prince]] material to be released posthumously, and the tenth posthumous album release overall. Recorded in 2010, the album was tentatively planned for release in 2011, likely as a follow-up to [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] and in conjunction with the [[Welcome 2 America Tour]], which ran from December 2010 to May 2011. The album was abandoned at the time for unknown reasons, however. If released at that time, it would have been [[Prince]]’s 36th full-length studio album. The posthumous release makes use of what’s believed to be the final configuration of the album. Contrary to some previous releases by [[The Prince Estate]], there was no technical necessity to do new mixes of the songs. <br />
<br />
A deluxe edition of the album includes a blu-ray video of the [[28 April 2011|28 April 2011: The Forum: Inglewood, CA, USA]] show on the [[Welcome 2 America Tour]] (part of the "Twenty One Nite Stand" in California).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
The bulk of the album was recorded by [[Prince]] with [[Chris Coleman]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] in about a week and a half of recording at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA, from [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_10|10 March 2010]] to [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_19|19 March 2010]]. Additional recordings with [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]], [[Elisa Dease]] and [[Morris Hayes]] took place during the Spring.<br />
<br />
[[Black Muse]] is assumed to have been recorded around the same time but it’s unclear if it was at any point slated for inclusion on the album.<br />
<br />
The released version was built from three reference CDs found by [[The Prince Estate]] in 2019, each containing different configurations of the album. [[Morris Hayes]] was commissioned to build the final tracklist from these three cds. The official version is similar to one of the configurations which also included [[Cause And Effect]]. It was decided not to retain this song for the final version because it was attached to the [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] album ([[Prince]] quotes titles from this album in the lyrics).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Musicians input</b><br />
<br />
'''Welcome 2 America''' contains more contributions from others than its predecessor, [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]] and is a band-oriented album, with musicians and/or vocalists appearing on all tracks. Drummer [[Chris Coleman]] and bass guitarist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld] make their only appearances on a [[Prince]] album. [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]], who had been present throughout [[Album: 20Ten|20Ten]], appear on all of the songs except [[When She Comes]]. [[Shelby J.]] is also the co-lead vocalist on [[Running Game (Son Of A Slave Master)]] and provides a rap on [[Same Page, Different Book]]. [[Morris Hayes]] co-produced half of the songs of the album. [[1010 (Rin Tin Tin)]] is the only song to feature [[Prince]] as the sole musician (with [[Shelby J.]], [[Liv Warfield]] and [[Elisa Dease]] on backing vocals). [[John Blackwell]] plays drums on [[1000 Light Years From Here]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Track releases</b><br />
<br />
[[Hot Summer]] was premiered on Minnesota public radio station [http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/ 89.3 The Current’s website] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 7|7 June 2010]], [[Prince]]’s 52nd birthday, prior to the album’s intended release. [[Same Page, Different Book]] was streamed as audio only over a static video on [[3rd_Eye_Girl_Streams|3rd Eye Girl YouTube channel]] in January 2013 (as [[Same Page Different Book]]). [[1000 Light Years From Here]] was released in an entirely different form (with new lyrics and arrangements) in 2015 on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]], included in full as a 3:05 coda to the track [[Black Muse]] (as such, the title [[1000 Light Years From Here]] is not used on the album’s tracklist). An alternate recording of [[When She Comes]] with different verses was also released on [[Album: Hitnrun Phase Two|Hitnrun Phase Two]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The album was announced and available to pre-order on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 8|8 April, 2021]]. The title track, [[Welcome 2 America]], was made available on streaming and download platforms, and a 55-second promo video was made available to promote the set. The accompanying vinyl single, [[Single: Welcome 2 America|Welcome 2 America]] with an exclusive live b-side was also announced on the official website. [[Born 2 Die]] was also made available for download as a preview two months before the release of the album. A second teaser was made available through [[Hot Summer]], released on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 22|22 July 2021]]. A 7" single of [[Single:_Hot_Summer|the song]] was included as a cover mount with the August 2021 edition of Rolling Stone magazine in Germany. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] and [http://www.thecurrent.org/ The Current] radio-station produced an four-part podcast series, presented by Minneapolis Music journalist Andrea Swensson, [[Shelby J.]] and [[Morris Hayes]] titled “Prince: The Story of Welcome 2 America”. In this audio-documentary [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Wilkenfeld Tal Wilkenfeld], [[Chris Coleman]], [[Elisa Fiorillo]] and [[Liv Warfield]], among others, share stories about the making-of the album.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Charts</b><br />
<br />
The album reached position 7 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts and 70 on the Billboard 200. It failed to reach top 10 positions in Europe, Australia and Japan.<br />
<br />
The album entered [[Billboard Top R&B Albums]] at number 1 and at number 4 on the [[The Billboard 200]] chart.<br />

The album features some of Prince’s only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album.''<br />

|introduction = '''Rebirth Of The Flesh''' is a song recorded by [[Prince]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 28|28 October 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (the day after a re-recording of [[Feel U Up]], the same day as [[Rockhard In A Funky Place]], two days before [[Good Love]]). A version with an edited, shortened ending was included as the first track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 5|5 November 1986]] configuration of the [[Album: Camille|Camille]] album (credited to the pseudonym [[Alias: Camille|Camille]]), which was later aborted. A few weeks later, it was included as the first track on the first disc of the triple-album [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration. The track was removed when the album was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]].<br />
<br />
The full version as recorded in 1986 was released in September 2020 as the second track of ''Vault Tracks part 3'', one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times Deluxe|Sign O’ The Times ''Super Deluxe Edition'']].The song is listed as '''Rebirth Of The Flesh (with original outro)''' although no other studio version with a different outro was released.<br />
<br />
A rehearsal version from 1988 (labeled '''Rebirth Of The Flesh (Rehearsal '88)'''), from rehearsals for an aborted USA Tour in 1988, was released as an mp3 download as part of [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_8|NPG Music Club Edition # 8]]. No other details about musicians, recording date or location were given, but [[Greg Brooks]] is audible and also named in the song, which dates it to being recorded somewhere before mid February 1988 when he and [[Wally Safford]] left the band.<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = <b>Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic</b> is a remix album released as a companion piece to [[Prince]]’s 23rd full-length studio album [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]] (his sixth using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). The album was sent on CD to premium members during the first year of the [[NPG Music Club]], and later available for purchase from the [[NPG Music Club]] as a stand-alone item.<br />
<br />
The album followed a similar song structure to [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]], but two tracks ([[Everyday Is A Winding Road]] and [[Strange But True]]) were removed, and a different track ([[Beautiful Strange]], which had previously been released on the [[Home Video: Beautiful Strange|Beautiful Strange]] home video in an alternate form) was added. <br />
<br />
Five of the tracks are remixes with new musical elements ([[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]], [[Undisputed]] (The Moneyapolis Mix), [[The Greatest Romance Ever Sold]], [[Hot Wit U]] (Nasty Girl Remix), and [[Man‘O’War]] (Remix)). <br />
<br />
Four songs are the same recording as the originals, with an extended portion at the end of the song ([[Tangerine]], [[The Sun, The Moon And Stars]], [[Baby Knows]] and [[Prettyman]]). The remaining tracks are identical to the original release, although [[Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do]] removes the 5:35 silence which followed the track on [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
No singles were released from this album (although [[Single: The Greatest Romance Ever Sold|The Greatest Romance Ever Sold]] was released commercially from [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]], and both [[Single: Baby Knows|Baby Knows]] and [[Single: Man‘O’War|Man‘O’War]] were available promotionally). <br />
<br />
The album was not eligible for charts, as it was available by mail order only.<br />
<br />
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 26|26 April 2019]], the album was re-released by [[The Prince Estate]] and Sony’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Legacy Recordings] on the same day as the [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]] album. A box-set named ''The Ultimate Rave'' containing both albums and the [[Home Video: Rave Un2 The Year 2000|Rave Un2 The Year 2000]] DVD was also released on this day. <br />

|introduction = <b>Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic</b> is [[Prince]]’s 23rd full-length studio album, and the sixth to be released using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]. It was his first and only album to be released by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arista_Records Arista Records]. It was released worldwide in November 1999 (just two and a half months after the vault album [[Album: The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale|The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale]]).<br />
<br />
The album was overseen by music industry executive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Davis Clive Davis], who had used guest stars to revive the career of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santana_(band) Santana] and others. Rather than the guest stars receiving payment for their appearances, [[Prince]] repaid the favor by offering to record with them for their own projects, although only [[Waiting Room]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Doubt No Doubt], [[Providence]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ani_Difranco Ani DiFranco] and versions of [[The Greatest Romance Ever Sold]] and [[Baby Knows]] by [[Maceo Parker]] have been released.<br />
<br />
It is not known if recordings took place with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_D Chuck D], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_(entertainer) Eve] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheryl_Crow Sheryl Crow] (the cover of [[Everyday Is A Winding Road]] may have repaid the favor, as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheryl_Crow Crow] would receive writer’s royalties for the track).<br />
<br />
The album was later given a companion piece, [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]], containing many of the same tracks, and remixes/extended versions of others. While '''Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic''' was clearly intended to be a commercial hit, [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]] seemed to be more closely tied to [[Prince]]’s musical interests of the time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
The title track was recorded in July 1988 (initially titled [[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]]) and served as the title track of an unreleased 1988 album, [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]]. The rest of the tracks were recorded between June 1998 and mid-September 1999. The album contains a cover version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheryl_Crow Sheryl Crow]’s [[Everyday Is A Winding Road]], while the rest of the tracks were written by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]).<br />
<br />
The album was produced by "[[Prince]]", marking the first "new" use of the name since changing his name to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] in 1993 (before "[[Prince]]" was announced as the producer, several articles and interviews had stated that for the first time, [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) would be using an outside producer for commercial appeal).<br />
<br />
While the album is largely recorded solely by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]), the album features a number of famous guest-stars, in keeping with a trend of the time. [[Undisputed]] featured [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Enemy_(group) Public Enemy] rapper [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_D Chuck D]. [[Hot Wit U]] featured rapper [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_(entertainer) Eve]. <br />
<br />
[[So Far, So Pleased]] featured [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Doubt No Doubt] singer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Stefani Gwen Stefani]. [[Baby Knows]] featured [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheryl_Crow Sheryl Crow]. [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Love U, But Eye Don’t Trust U Anymore]][[Eye Love U, But Eye Don’t Trust U Anymore| Love U, But]] [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Love U, But Eye Don’t Trust U Anymore]][[Eye Love U, But Eye Don’t Trust U Anymore| Don’t Trust U Anymore]] featured independent singer-songwriter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ani_Difranco Ani DiFranco].<br />
<br />
The hidden track, [[Prettyman]], featured the first appearance on a [[Prince]]-related track of saxophonist [[Maceo Parker]], with whom [[Prince]] would work a lot in the years to come. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The album produced only one commercially-released single, [[Single: The Greatest Romance Ever Sold|The Greatest Romance Ever Sold]] (which preceded the album), and also produced two promotional singles, [[Single: Baby Knows|Baby Knows]] and [[Single: Man‘O’War|Man‘O’War]]. [[Single: The Hot X-perience|The Hot X-perience]], a vinyl 12" single containing remixes of [[Hot Wit U]], was also planned for release in 2000, and advertised on [[Love4oneanother.com]], but was ultimately left unreleased. <br />
<br />
[[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) did not launch a full-scale tour to support the album, but during the month of the album’s release he performed on ten different European TV shows, along with a few one-off live shows to promote the album. A pay-per-view special shown on New Year’s Eve 1999, titled [[Home Video: Rave Un2 The Year 2000|Rave Un2 the Year 2000]], also served as a promotional tool for the album. <br />
<br />
The album reached number 18 on [[The Billboard 200]], and number 8 on the [[Billboard Top R&B Albums]] chart.<br />
<br />
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 26|26 April 2019]], the album was re-released by [[The Prince Estate]] and Sony’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Legacy Recordings] on the same day as its companion piece [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]]. A box-set named ''The Ultimate Rave'' containing both albums and the [[Home Video: Rave Un2 The Year 2000|Rave Un2 The Year 2000]] DVD was also released on this day. <br />

|album promotion = The album was heavily marketed, with many large-name guest appearances on the album, in a similar vein to other contemporary albums like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santana_(band) Santana]’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernatural_(Santana_album) ''Supernatural'']. Both albums were largely spearheaded by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Davis Clive Davis], who saw this as a return-to-form for [[Prince]].<br />
* [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) gave several media interviews at the time, stating that having [[Prince]] as an "outside producer" would make the album tighter in the vein of [[Prince]]’s 1980s output.<br />
* [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) performed a short promotional tour, including some shows and several TV performances in the UK and throughout Europe, listed [[One_Off_Appearances_(1999)|here]] and [[Television_Shows_(1990)|here]].<br />
* Soon after release, the album was promoted with a pay-per-view special shown on New Year’s Eve 1999, titled [[Home Video: Rave Un2 The Year 2000|Rave Un2 the Year 2000]], which comprised of live material filmed at [[Paisley Park Studios]]. While the show was largely comprised of hits and older material, it served as a promotional tool for the album, and a few songs from the album were performed.<br />
|trivia = The CD, when entered into a computer, brings up the enhanced portion of the CD, containing links to the official websites of the time, [[Love4oneanother.com]] and [[1800NewFunk.com]].<br />
* This album was later given a companion piece, [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]], containing many of the same tracks, and remixes/extended versions of others. The only tracks from [[Album: Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]] not to appear on [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]] in any form are [[Everyday Is A Winding Road]], [[Strange But True]], and the three [[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic segues|segues]].<br />
* The cover image uses the same photograph as [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]], but [[Prince]]’s eyes look away from the viewer on [[Album: Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic]] (instead of towards the viewer, as on '''Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic''').<br />
* [[Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do]] includes 5:35 of silence tagged onto the end of the song, serving as a break before the commercial and hidden track. The full track, including silence, tracks at 8:51, while the song itself ends at 3:16.<br />

|introduction = '''Sugar Walls''' is the second track on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton]’s fifth album [[Album: A Private Heaven|A Private Heaven]], and, around the time of the album’s release, [[Single: Sugar Walls|Sugar Walls]] was released as the album’s third single. <br />
<br />
In 1989, it was included as the ninth track on ''The Best Of Sheena Easton'' compilation. Also in 1989, it was included as the 18th and final track on the ''For Your Eyes Only: The Best Of Sheena Easton'' compilation. In 1993, it was included as the 13th track on ''The World Of Sheena Easton: The Singles Collection'' compilation. In 1995, it was included as the fourth track on ''Sheena Easton: Greatest Hits'' compilation. In 2021 it was included as the 18th track of Disc 1 on "Sheena Easton: The Definitive Singles 1980-1987". In 2022, it was included as the 2nd track of Disc 1 on "A Private Heaven Deluxe Edition".<br />
<br />
The song is the first of many collaborations between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] and [[Prince]]. <br />
<br />
[[Sugar Walls]] was listed on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center Parents Music Resource Center]’s "Filthy Fifteen" (along with [[Prince and the Revolution]]’s [[Darling Nikki]]) which led to the introduction of parental advisory stickers on explicit releases.<br />
<br />
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 20|20 January 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, and the song was originally tentatively intended for [[Jill Jones]]. However after [[Prince]] saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] perform on ''The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson'' that night he thought she should sing it and it was subsequently sent over to The Sound Factory on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 22|22 January 1984]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XVIII Super Bowl Sunday], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] recorded her vocals on that same day.<br />
<br />
In a 2012 interview, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] explained how the collaboration occurred. Both [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Easton] were working with the same engineer, [[David Leonard]] at the time. [[David Leonard|Leonard]] told her:<br>''"'[[Prince]] sent over a track for you. We saw you on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tonight_Show The Tonight Show] the night before and [[Prince]] said 'Ya, I gotta write something for that girl.' And so he sent over [[Sugar Walls]], and it was one of those things where it was like, 'Here it is. If you want to do it, here’s my number."''<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] adds:<br>''"Then when we worked in the studio, we got along really well. We cracked each other up, we made each other laugh."'' <br />
<br />
Although Greg Mathieson is listed as the executive producer, [[Prince]] was in fact very hands-on in producing the track on the spot. <br />

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] adds:<br>''"Then when we worked in the studio, we got along really well. We cracked each other up, we made each other laugh."'' <br />
<br />
Although Greg Mathieson is listed as the executive producer, [[Prince]] was in fact very hands-on in producing the track on the spot. <br />

<br />
In 1989, it was included as the ninth track on ''The Best Of Sheena Easton'' compilation. Also in 1989, it was included as the 18th and final track on the ''For Your Eyes Only: The Best Of Sheena Easton'' compilation. In 1993, it was included as the 13th track on ''The World Of Sheena Easton: The Singles Collection'' compilation. In 1995, it was included as the fourth track on ''Sheena Easton: Greatest Hits'' compilation. <br />
<br />
The song is the first of many collaborations between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] and [[Prince]]. <br />
<br />
[[Sugar Walls]] was listed on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center Parents Music Resource Center]’s "Filthy Fifteen" (along with [[Prince and the Revolution]]’s [[Darling Nikki]]) which led to the introduction of parental advisory stickers on explicit releases.<br />
<br />
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 20|20 January 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, and the song was originally tentatively intended for [[Jill Jones]]. However after [[Prince]] saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] perform on ''The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson'' that night he thought she should sing it and it was subsequently sent over to The Sound Factory on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 22|22 January 1984]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XVIII Super Bowl Sunday], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] recorded her vocals on that same day.<br />
<br />
In a 2012 interview, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] explained how the collaboration occurred. Both [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Easton] were working with the same engineer, [[David Leonard]] at the time. [[David Leonard|Leonard]] told her:<br>''"'[[Prince]] sent over a track for you. We saw you on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tonight_Show The Tonight Show] the night before and [[Prince]] said 'Ya, I gotta write something for that girl.' And so he sent over [[Sugar Walls]], and it was one of those things where it was like, 'Here it is. If you want to do it, here’s my number."''<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] adds:<br>''"Then when we worked in the studio, we got along really well. We cracked each other up, we made each other laugh."'' <br />
<br />

|introduction = '''Sugar Walls''' is the second track on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton]’s fifth album [[Album: A Private Heaven|A Private Heaven]], and, around the time of the album’s release, [[Single: Sugar Walls|Sugar Walls]] was released as the album’s third single. <br />
<br />
In 1989, it was included as the ninth track on ''The Best Of Sheena Easton'' compilation. Also in 1989, it was included as the 18th and final track on the ''For Your Eyes Only: The Best Of Sheena Easton'' compilation. In 1993, it was included as the 13th track on ''The World Of Sheena Easton: The Singles Collection'' compilation. In 1995, it was included as the fourth track on ''Sheena Easton: Greatest Hits'' compilation. <br />
<br />
The song is the first of many collaborations between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] and [[Prince]]. <br />
<br />
[[Sugar Walls]] was listed on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center Parents Music Resource Center]’s "Filthy Fifteen" (along with [[Prince and the Revolution]]’s [[Darling Nikki]]) which led to the introduction of parental advisory stickers on explicit releases.<br />
<br />
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 20|20 January 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, and the song was originally tentatively intended for [[Jill Jones]]. However after [[Prince]] saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] perform on ''The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson'' that night he thought she should sing it and it was subsequently sent over to The Sound Factory on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 22|22 January 1984]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XVIII Super Bowl Sunday], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] recorded her vocals on that same day.<br />
<br />
In a 2012 interview, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] explained how the collaboration occurred. Both [[Prince]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Easton] were working with the same engineer, [[David Leonard]] at the time. [[David Leonard|Leonard]] told her:<br>''"'[[Prince]] sent over a track for you. We saw you on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tonight_Show The Tonight Show] the night before and [[Prince]] said 'Ya, I gotta write something for that girl.' And so he sent over [[Sugar Walls]], and it was one of those things where it was like, 'Here it is. If you want to do it, here’s my number."''<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] adds:<br>''"Then when we worked in the studio, we got along really well. We cracked each other up, we made each other laugh."'' <br />
<br />
Although Greg Mathieson is listed as the executive producer, [[Prince]] was in fact very hands-on in producing the track on the spot. <br />

|introduction = '''It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night''' is the sixth track on the second disc of [[Prince]]’s ninth album [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. The track was placed as the penultimate track on the third disc of the triple-album [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], where it remained the penultimate track of the album. A live version was also included in the concert movie [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]].<br />
<br />
The basis for the track was recorded live on [[25_August 1986|25 August 1986]] at Le Zénith, Paris, France, during a show on the [[Parade Tour]] (at the soundcheck earlier in the day, recordings were made [[Susannah’s Blues]], [[Strange Relationship]], a cover version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Temptations The Temptations]' [[I Can’t Get Next To You]] a first run-through of '''It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night''').

<br />
Overdubs and mix were done between [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 22|22]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, with [[Jill Jones]] recording herlead vocal on the 26th. And [[Sheila E.]] her ‘Transmississippirap.’ on the night of [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 26|26]]/[[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 27|27 November 1986]]. [[Sheila E.]] was not in the studio, but recorded her rap over the phone from a hotel on the bank of the Mississippi river in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she was on tour with Lionel Richie.<br />
<br />
Although recorded with the full [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] band, the song is credited only to [[Prince]]. It was included as the sixth track on the third and final disc of the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] album, and was kept for inclusion as the album developed into [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]].<br />

A live version (in a medley with [[Te Amo Corazon|Te Amo Corazón]]) was included on the UK edition of the [[Single: Fury|Fury]] single (in both audio and video formats), featuring former [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]] members [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]].<br />
<br />
Exact recording dates for the studio version are unknown, but it was likely recorded at some point in late 2005 or early 2006, at either [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, or [[Location: 3121 Antelo Road|3121 Antelo Rd.]] in Los Angeles, California (it was not included on a late 2005 configuration of [[Album: 3121|3121]], suggesting it may have been recorded after that configuration was compiled).<br />

The home video reached the number 1 spot (where it remained for 13 weeks) on the Billboard Top Music Videocassettes chart and number 2 on the Billboard Top Videocassettes Sales. It was certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.<br />
<br />
In 2017, the video was restored and released on a DVD included on [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe Expanded Edition'']].<br />
<br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|Introduction = <b>Purple Rain</b> was the first [[Prince]] home video to be released and his first movie released in Home Video format. It was released on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November_19|19 November 1984]] in the USA with an 'R' rating. When released in the United Kingdom and Australia the film was rated unsuitable under 15. Of note, the movie was rated unsuitable under 12 in the Benelux from 1999 onward.<br />
<br />
Depending on the country, running times varied from 113 minutes in the USA, to 111 minutes in Japan, and 107 minutes in Europe. <br />
<br />
The home video was a commercial success in the USA, reaching position 1 in Billboard Top Videocassette Sales chart and in Billboard Top Videodisks charts, and position 2 in Billboard Top Videocassette rentals chart.<br />
<br />
In 2004 a 20th Anniversary Collector Edition was released, featuring a bonus DVD containing footage from the MTV premiere, 8 music videos, 3 documentaries and 3 different trailers. <br />
<br />
This latter configuration was retained when the movie was released on HD DVD and BluRay format in 2007.<br />

| Introduction = '''Purple Rain''' is a 1984 American rock musical drama film directed by [[Albert Magnoli]] and written by Magnoli and William Blinn, in which [[Prince]] makes his film debut.<br />
<br />
Filmed on locations in Minneapolis and Los Angeles, the film features many Minnesota landmarks, including the Crystal Court of the IDS Center and the legendary [[First Avenue]] nightclub. <br />
<br />
Many aspects of [[Prince]]’s personal life were mirrored by the role of "The Kid" and, except for [[Prince]], all the musicians in the film go by their real name, leading many to view '''Purple Rain''' as an autobiographical account of his own life. <br />
<br />
The film was a phenomenal success, becoming the 10th biggest film of 1984 and grossing almost 70 million dollar at the box office. The press gave mostly favorable reviews sometimes billing it "the finest rock movie ever made". It earned [[Prince]] an Academy Award for Best original Score. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>First Steps</b><br />
<br />
During the [[1999 Tour]], [[Prince]] gathered ideas for a semi-autobiographical film script and discussed the project with manager [[Steve Fargnoli]]. After [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros. Warner Bros.].' film division expressed a slight interest in the film, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros. Records] chairman Mo' Ostin allowed it a substantial budget to start the production, [[Prince]]’s managers approached William Blinn to write a viable screenplay. <br />
<br />
In May 1983, Blinn relocated to Minneapolis with the intention of developing more ideas for the screenplay, but collaborating with [[Prince]] appeared difficult and Blinn returned to Los Angeles where he resumed work for a script now called "Dreams".<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, [[Prince]], [[The Revolution]], [[The Time]] and [[Vanity 6]] began preparations for the film project. A warehouse in St. Louis Park was rented for band rehearsals and dancing and acting classes. Actor and director Don Amendolia was recruited by Blinn to conduct improvisational exercises and theater games. Dance workouts were conducted by John Command at the Minnesota Dance Theater in a downtown dance studio, two block away from the [[First Avenue]]. <br />
<br />
[[Alan Leeds]], then [[Prince]]’s road manager, was hired on a full time basis to organize activities in the warehouse and coordinate some of [[Prince]]’s business affairs.<br />
<br />
After finishing a first script, William Blinn was informed that the television series "Fame", on which he was working as executive producer, was renewed for another season. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A New Script</b><br />
<br />
A new director wasn’t found until July 1983, when James Foley, who was approached for the film but was unavailable, suggested his editor, [[Albert Magnoli]], who had won a student academy award for his short film, "Jazz". After rejecting the project on account of deeming the script "very introverted and claustrophobic". [[Albert Magnoli|Magnoli]] reversed his decision after meeting with [[Prince]]’s management and the promise that he would be allowed to direct his own version of the film. Several songs that were mentioned in the first drafts were not kept as the movie underwent further changes : [[Moonbeam Levels]], [[Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got]], , [[Too Tough]], [[Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me?|Wouldn’t U Love To Love Me]], [[I Just Wanna Be Rich]], [[New Power Generation|Bold Generation]], [[G-Spot]], [[Mia Bocca]], [[Wednesday]] (to be sung by [[Jill Jones]]) and [[Electric Intercourse]] (replaced by [[The Beautiful Ones]]).<br />
<br />
By mid July, [[Vanity]] had decided to leave the film project and [[Vanity 6]] band. Her role was offered to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Beals Jennifer Beals] who declined it. Auditions were subsequently organized in Los Angeles in September 1983 in order to cast a replacement actress for the female lead role in the film. From the several hundred women who auditioned, [[Apollonia|Patricia Kotero]], a 22 years old model, was chosen. Soon after, she was renamed [[Apollonia]] after a character in "The Godfather" film. Subsequently [[Vanity 6]] became [[Apollonia 6]].<br />
<br />
Pre-production for '''Purple Rain''' began on 15 September 1983 in Minneapolis. [[Albert Magnoli]] spent several weeks in the city to meet with the movie financiers and revised the "Dreams" script entirely to develop a new screenplay. Shooting started on 1 November 1983 in Minneapolis.<br />
| Synopsis = "The Kid" ([[Prince]]) is a troubled Minneapolis musician. He and his band, [[The Revolution]] are one of three acts playing at a local nightclub, the [[First Avenue]]. The other acts are [[The Time]], a funk band, lead by [[Morris Day]] and The Modernaires, a new wave band, lead by [[Dez Dickerson]]. <br />
<br />
Aspiring singer [[Apollonia]], comes to town to try her luck hoping to get hired as singer at the [[First Avenue]]. Both "The Kid" and [[Morris Day]] are attracted to her and vie for her attention. While a romance starts to develop between "The Kid" and [[Apollonia]], she accepts a position in [[Morris Day]]’s new all female group, [[Apollonia 6]], to the obvious dismay of "The Kid".<br />
<br />
Having recruited [[Apollonia]], [[Morris Day]] convinces nightclub owner Billy Sparks, to give a slot to his new protege band. They make a deal to evict [[The Revolution]] from the nightly program if the girl group is commercial and appealing enough. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, tensions appear in [[The Revolution]] due to growing frustration of guitarist [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] and keyboardist [[Lisa Coleman|Lisa]] about "The Kid" rejecting their compositions. The dispute revolves around an instrumental demo, dubbed "Slow Groove", which they pass on to [[Jill Jones|Jill]], a waitress at [[First Avenue]] who has a crush on "The Kid", in hope that he will listen if that comes through her. <br />
<br />
One night when "The Kid" comes home, he finds out his mother had been beaten again and confronts his father. After his father warns him to never get married "The Kid" gets back to the club to face more internal band strife and pressure. Following an edgy performance of "[[Computer Blue]]", Billy Sparks warns him that his slot at the club is in jeopardy, and that he might lose it if he follows the same unsuccessful path that ruined his father’s career as a musician. <br />
<br />
The night after, [[Apollonia 6]] successfully opens at The Taste, another nightclub in town. While [[Morris Day]] and [[Apollonia]], celebrate their success in a side street, "The Kid" hits Morris with his motorcycle and takes away [[Apollonia]]. Subsequently she breaks up with him when he fails to refrain from being violent.<br />
<br />
When "The Kid" returns home, the situation has escalated to a dramatic level. His father shoots himself in the head. After a night of torment and despair, "The Kid" wakes up in a new spirit and decides to give the instrumental "Slow Groove" by the girls in his band another try.<br />
<br />
The following night at the club "The Kid" announces the band will play a new song by Wendy & Lisa and performs [[Purple Rain]] while the audience almost religiously listen. As the Kid exits the stage, convinced that he blew the gig, he realizes the crowd is cheering and calling him back for an encore. On his way back to the stage, [[Apollonia]] waits for him in tears. <br />
<br />
The film ends with a series of scenes interspersed with the concert performance showing how the story happily ends. Now at peace, "The Kid" sorts out the destroyed home basement, helped by Apollonia and visits his father at the hospital.<br />

<!-- MAKING OF -------------------------><br />
| Shooting = Shooting started on 1 November 1983 with a week (from 1 to 5 Nov.) of exterior scenes shots in and around Minneapolis, Henderson, Eagan, Cedar Lake and Coon Rapids. Amongst other was shot the infamous scene (#29) with Apollonia jumping in the water on 2 November 1983 near Henderson. Of note the initial script had Apollonia picked up by a trucker, instead of "The Kid" coming back to pick her up after he had rode away.<br />
<br />
Second week (from 7 to 12 Nov.) was dedicated to a few motorcycle takes with Prince and a stunt double, as well as scenes in Minneapolis and around the 1st Avenue club, including the infamous scene (#25) when Jerome puts 'Beautiful Babe' in a dumpster. The scene at Mall of America when "The Kid" and Apollonia meet and engage conversation (#27) was also shot.<br />
<br />
Third week (from 14 to 19 Nov.) mostly focused on exterior scenes with Morris, Jerome, Prince & Apollonia, except for the two days dedicated to the rehearsal warehouse where The Time and the Girls group rehearse, including a deleted scene of "The Kid" riding to the warehouse, entering and fighting with The Time members. 2 days were allocated to exteriors outside of "The Kid"’s house, on Snelling Avenue, while the last day of the week (day #17) was dedicated to the fight between "The Kid" and Apollonia near the embankment (#97 & 98).<br />

|introduction = '''Pop Life''' is the seventh track on [[Prince]]’s seventh album [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]], the second to be credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]], and three months after the album’s release, [[Single: Pop Life|Pop Life]] was released as the album’s third single (second in North America). In 1993, it was also included as the second track on [[Prince]]’s first compilation album [[Album: The Hits 1|The Hits 1]] (also included as the first disc of [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]]). In 2006, '''Pop Life (Fresh Dance Mix)''' was included as the fourth track on the second disc of the compilation album [[Album: Ultimate|Ultimate]].<br />
<br />
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 19|19 February 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (after completing overdubs on [[Another Lonely Christmas]]). The recording session lasted until around 6:15 a.m. the following morning, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 20|20 February 1984]]. <!-- String overdubs were added later the same day. [[Prince]] worked on the track further in mid-April 1984, most likely also at [[Sunset Sound]]. --><br><br />
<br />
[[Sheila E.]]’s remix of the track was mixed on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 22|22]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 23|23 June 1985]], most likely also at [[Sunset Sound]].<br />
<br />
In 1994, [[Kirk Johnson]] remixed the track at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and the remix, while unreleased, was partially included in the [[Kirk J’s B Sides Remix]] medley.<br />
<br />
Rumors have suggested that the booing crowd sampled in the song is from [[Prince]]’s infamous opening act for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones Rolling Stones], from October 1981, but the samples in fact come from a sound library set by the company Sound Ideas ([[Delirious]], [[Lady Cab Driver]], [[Something Funky (This House Comes)]] and [[Live 4 Love]] also use samples from this series, and the computer keystroke noises and computer confirmation beep, as well as the vault door sample heard throughout [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] are also from this series). <br />
<br />
During a [[Love4oneanother.com]] “? of the week” in 1999, a fan asked what the significance of “the interspersion of (what sounds like) a boxing match”, saying they have wondered about this for years, to which [[Prince]] replied, ''“Good ? - Me 2 :)”''<br />
<br />
'''Pop Life''' is the earliest track to be released with two different versions on 12" releases (albeit in different territories): The US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand received [[Pop Life]] (Fresh Dance Mix) (remixed by [[Sheila E.]], while the UK, received [[Pop Life]] (Extended Version), which was [[Prince]]’s own original version.<br />

|introduction = '''Chaos And Disorder''' is the first track on [[Prince]]’s 18th album [[Album: Chaos And Disorder|Chaos And Disorder]], the second album credited to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]. In 2007, [[3121.com]] streamed a live version recorded on [[29_August 2007-am|29 August 2007 (a.m.)]] at the The IndigO<sub>2</sub> in London, England, titled only [[Chaos And Disorder|C&D 8/28]] (the discrepancy in date is likely due to the show being an aftershow following the [[28 August 2007]] show at The O<sub>2</sub> Arena).<br />
<br />
While exact recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in late October 1993, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (on the same day that [[Right The Wrong]] was recorded, during the same set of sessions that produced [[Gold]], [[319]] and [[Billy Jack Bitch]]). <br />
<br />
It is likely that [[Rosie Gaines]]’ vocal part was recorded in late 1995 or early 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] (at the same time she recorded her parts of [[I Rock, Therefore I Am]], [[I Will]], and [[Jam Of The Year]]). The track contains sampled effects of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Fu%C4%8D%C3%ADk_(composer) Julius Fučík]’s 1897 composition [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_of_the_Gladiators Entrance Of The Gladiators] (also played in [[Merci For The Speed Of A Mad Clown In Summer]]) and [[Reveille]].<br />
<br />
In late March or early April 1996, [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) re-recorded the song with [[Michael B.]] and [[Sonny T.]] at [[South Beach Studios]], Miami Beach, Florida (during the same set of sessions as the re-recordings of [[Dinner With Delores]] and [[Right The Wrong]], and where [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) also mixed and completed the [[Album: Chaos And Disorder|Chaos And Disorder]] album), but the original recording was used on the final album instead.<br />
<br />
The song was based on the coda that [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) had been playing at the end of live performances of [[Peach]] throughout 1993. Although [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) played the coda in 1994 versions of [[Peach]] also, he did not do so after [[Chaos And Disorder]] was released; while both songs were played at the same shows between 2007-9, he did not segue them together or play them consecutively, so he seemed to view them as separate songs. <br />
<br />
For the sake of clarity with live versions of [[Peach]], [[Chaos And Disorder]] is only listed as a coda on live versions played after the late October 1993 studio recording of [[Chaos And Disorder]].<br />

|introduction = ''' Black Is The New Black ''' is an unreleased studio album that was to be released by [[MonoNeon]]. It is a mostly-instrumental album recorded by [[Prince]] with [[MonoNeon]] on bass, [[Kirk Johnson]] on drums and [[Adrian Crutchfield]] on saxophone and talkbox, between October 2015 and early 2016. [[Michael B.]] also took part in the recording session. It is the last known studio album [[Prince]] worked on before he embarked on the [[Piano_&_A_Microphone_2016|Piano & A Microphone Tour]] in February 2016. Nine songs are known to have been worked on for '''Black Is The New Black'''.<br />
[[Ruff Enuff]] was the first song recorded for the album. It was played live by [[Prince]] during shows at [[Venue: Paisley Park Studios| Paisley Park Studios]] in October 2015 with his new band comprising [[Kirk Johnson]], [[MonoNeon]], [[Adrian Crutchfield]] and [[Donna Grantis]]. [[Soul Patch]] was also intended for '''Black Is The New Black''' and a snippet was posted on [[Prince]]'s [http://instagram.com/prince/ Instagram].<br />
When asked about [[Ruff Enuff]] on Twitter, [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG @Prince3EG] replied: <blockquote>''"YES, IT'S ALREADY GOT A SISTER: ON THE SAME ALBUM AS "[[Free Urself| FREE URSELF]]"...THEY SOUND GREAT 2GETHER!"''</blockquote><br />
This information caused a bit of confusion as '''Ruff Enuff''' was released using the artist credit [[MonoNeon|Mono Neon]], while [[Free Urself]] was credited to [[Prince]]. It has been speculated that '''Free Urself''' was possibly the title of an album [[Prince]] was working on, but this has not been confirmed.<br />
<br />
[[Black Is The New Black]] was the last track recorded for the album in early February 2016.<br />
<br />
A version of [[Ruff Enuff]] was released as a download and the [[Tidal]] ''Purple Pick of the Week'' on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 11|11 January 2016]] and a urther session was planned for guitar overdubs by [[Donna Grantis]]. <br />
Nothing is known about the other tracks intended for the album. The title of the album comes from a discussion [[Prince]] had with his band members about the situation of the Black community in the United States at that time and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter Black Lives Matter movement]<br />

|introduction = '''Free Urself''' (stylized as '''FREE URSELF''') is the title track of the stand-alone single [[Single: Free Urself|Free Urself]], made available on iTunes on a track made available on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 30|30 September 2015]] (which became [[Prince]]’s final single to be released during his lifetime). Two days before the single’s release the song was made available on the streaming music service [[Tidal]] as part of its ''Purple Pick of the Week'' series of "new tracks, exclusives, rarities and more from the vault, curated personally by [[Prince]]". The track was the fourth offering in the series, and the first previously-unreleased track with [[Prince]] as the credited artist. <br />
<br />
The artwork used with the track had been previously shown (with the words "Free Urself") in three teaser videos for the track [[Stare]] four months earlier. All three teaser videos consisted of an excerpt of [[Stare]], over text and images stating "new funk" by [[Prince]] would be coming in Summer 2015. <br />
<br />
During an exchange on Twitter with [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG] exchange, a fan asked if [[Ruff Enuff]] was the first track to be recorded in 2016, to which [http://twitter.com/Prince3EG @Prince3EG] replied: <blockquote>''"YES, IT'S ALREADY GOT A SISTER: ON THE SAME ALBUM AS "[[Free Urself|FREE URSELF]]"...THEY SOUND GREAT 2GETHER!"''</blockquote> <br />
<br />
This information caused confusion as '''Free Urself''' was released using the artist credit [[Prince]], while [[Ruff Enuff]] was credited to [[MonoNeon|Mono Neon]]. It has been speculated that '''Free Urself''' is the title of an album [[Prince]] was working on, but this has not been confirmed. [[Ruff Enuff]] has since been confirmed by band members [[MonoNeon]] and [[Adrian Crutchfield]] by being a song from [[MonoNeon]]’s [[Album: Black Is The New Black (2016)|Black Is The New Black]] album, so it is safe to assume that '''Free Urself''' was also planned (possibly with overdubs or a re-recording) for the same album.<br />
<br />
While specific recording dates are not known, it is assumed to have been recorded in early 2015 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. <br />

<!-------ALBUM TEXT -------><br />
|introduction = <b>The Truth</b> is the 21st full-length studio album by [[Prince]], the fifth to be credited to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]. It was the first to be labeled an 'acoustic' album. The album was only originally available for purchase in CD format with the album [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]], and so was shipped to customers who had pre-ordered [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] in January 1998 (14 months after the release of his previous album, [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]]), with a retail release (again as part of the [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] package) following the next month.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
The album was recorded during a set of sessions in late 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, following the completion of [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]]. The album was originally planned for release by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMI_Records EMI Records] in 1997, following the release of [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]], but the release was canceled with the record label’s demise. <br />
<br />
In May 1997, [[Love4oneanother.com]] announced that the album would receive an independent limited edition cassette release, but this release was canceled also. Following its release as part of the [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] package, [[Love4oneanother.com]] announced in 1998 that [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] would be re-released as a widespread retail release in 2000. [[Steve Parke]] was quoted remembering to have been working on the artwork for this seperate release but it was canceled for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Although the album is billed as "acoustic", the album contains several electronic instruments, samples, distortions and sound effects. It does largely focus on an acoustic sound, however.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Promotion</b><br />
<br />
The album produced one limited-release single, [[Single: The Truth|The Truth]], which preceded the album by almost a full year. [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] did not tour to support the album. <br />
<br />
As part of the [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] package, the album reached number 62 on [[The Billboard 200]], and number 59 on the [[Billboard Top R&B Albums]] Chart. The album was not sold separately at that time, however, so could not chart separately.<br />
<br />
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 12|12 June 2021]], [[The Prince Estate]] re-released the album as an LP (separately and not as part of a set) with Sony’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Legacy Recordings] for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_Store_Day Record Store Day]. The re-issue reached number 1 on the US Billboard Vinyl Albums chart.<br />

It is not known how far plans got to release the album separately from [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]].<br />
* <b>The Truth</b> was only originally available to purchase as part of the [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] package, along with [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]]. The initial [[1-800 New Funk]] orders also included a fifth CD, [[The NPG Orchestra]]’s [[Album: Kamasutra|Kamasutra]].<br />
* When [[Album:_Crystal_Ball_Volume_II|Crystal Ball Volume II]], a follow-up to [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] was planned in 2000, the two 'new' CDs were going to be mailed out with jewel cases for [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] and [[Album: Kamasutra|Kamasutra]]. The two 'new' CDs would then take the place of these discs in the [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] 5CD case.<br />
* [[Welcome 2 The Dawn]] (Acoustic Version) was included as the b-side on a free promo cassette single of [[Single: The Holy River|The Holy River]] given out by [[Exclusive retail partnerships#Borders Books & Music|Borders Books & Music]] in the summer of 1997. The cassette stated that [[Welcome 2 The Dawn]] (Acoustic Version) was taken from "the 4thcoming album [[Project: The Dawn|The Dawn]]". It seems likely, however, that the acoustic version was already planned for [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] and that the unreleased 'non-acoustic' version was planned for the aborted project [[Project: The Dawn|The Dawn]].<br />
* The 2021 re-release in LP format was limited to 13,000 copies.<br />
* The credits on the 2021 re-release wrongly lists [[John Blackwell]], [[Rhonda Smith]], [[Renato Neto]], [[Najee]] and [[Greg Boyer]] as additional musicians on [[The Other Side Of The Pillow]]. The version included on '''The Truth''' is a solo performance by [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]. [[John Blackwell|Blackwell]], [[Rhonda Smith|Smith]], [[Renato Neto|Neto]], [[Najee]] and [[Greg Boyer|Boyer]] play on the live version of the song recorded five years later and included on [[Album: One Nite Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]].<br />

|introduction = '''When Doves Cry''' is the sixth track on [[Prince]]’s sixth album [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], the first album to be credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]] and, five weeks prior to the album’s release, [[Single: When Doves Cry|When Doves Cry]] was released as the album’s first single (credited only to [[Prince]]). The track is also featured in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]. <br />
<br />
In 1993, the track was included as the first track on [[Prince]]’s first compilation album [[Album: The Hits 1|The Hits 1]] (also included as the first disc of [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]]). <br />
<br />
In 1994, [[Kirk Johnson]] remixed the track at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and the remix, while unreleased, was partially included in the [[Purple Medley]] and the [[Kirk J’s B Sides Remix]] medley.<br />
<br />
In 2001, the track was included as the fourth track on the compilation album [[Album: The Very Best Of Prince|The Very Best Of Prince]]. <br />
<br />
In 2006, the track was included as the sixth track on the first disc of the compilation album [[Album: Ultimate|Ultimate]].<br />
<br />
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (some days after [[Traffic Jam]] and two days after [[Love And Sex]]), as the final track recorded for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]. Of note is that both the track’s ascending synth-string ending and the extended part as it was played on the [[Purple Rain Tour]] are both quite reminiscent of [[Traffic Jam]], recorded only days earlier. <br />
<br />
It was included as the fifth song on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_23|23 March 1984]] configuration of the album (before [[Take Me With U]] was added for the final configuration, compiled on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 14|14 April 1984]]). <br />
<br />
The single version of the track was included as the tenth track on the first disc of an early configuration of the compilation album [[Album: Ultimate|Ultimate]] before the album was reworked for release.<br />
<br />
The track is included here as credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]] due to its inclusion on the [[Prince and the Revolution]] album [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], although the single release [[Single: When Doves Cry|When Doves Cry]] was credited only to [[Prince]], and the credits, on both the single and the [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] album, show that [[Prince]] is the only performer on the track.<br />

|introduction = '''Gett Off''' is the seventh track on [[Prince]]’s 13th album [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], the first to be credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]], and, two months prior to the album, [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]] was released as the album’s first single (released worldwide). It was the earliest song to be released with credit to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]]. <br />
<br />
In 1993, it was included as the 15th track on [[Prince]]’s second compilation album [[Album: The Hits 2|The Hits 2]] (also included as the second disc of [[Album: The Hits / The B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]]).<br />
<br />
The song borrows slightly from [[Get Off]], released in 1990 on the [[Single: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]] maxi-single, and was developed with portions of a song called [[Glam Slam '91]], played on the radio in January 1991. <br />
<br />
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 10|10 May 1991]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (two days before [[Blue Light]] and saxophone overdubs on [[You’re All I Want]]), and the track was intended initially as the main track on an EP also containing [[Horny Pony]], [[Money Don’t Matter 2 Night]] and an alternate version of [[Cream]], but this EP was aborted, and instead, [[Prince]] chose to release the track as a limited edition 12" single to DJs and radio stations in its original, 9:22 version. <br />
<br />
Response to the song was so high, that [[Prince]] decided to place [[Gett Off]] on [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], removing [[Horny Pony]] to do so. [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]] then received a standard commercial release as a single. The [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]] maxi-single contains various remixes and three new tracks which are largely based on [[Gett Off]] itself ([[Violet The Organ Grinder]], [[Gangster Glam]], and [[Clockin’ The Jizz (Instrumental)]]). These tracks receive their own song entry pages, separate from this song.<br />
<br />
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 27|27 September 1991]], [[Prince]] recorded a track called [[Gett Off’s Cousin]]. It is likely this track is an instrumental track with a similar musical backing to [[Gett Off]] rather than a remix; for more details, see [[Gett Off’s Cousin]].<br />

|trivia = The second 't' in the title "Gett Off" may be to avoid confusion with the track [[Get Off]], released the previous year on the [[Single: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]] single; this is unverified, however.<br />
*Various versions of this song include both a sample and reference (by way of paraphrased lyrics) to James Brown's [[Mother_Popcorn|Mother Popcorn]]<br />
*Interestingly, a different edit of the ''Extended Remix'' of ''Gett Off'' was included as background music in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Boy_Scout The Last Boy Scout] movie directed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Scott] and starring [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Willis Bruce Willis], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damon_Wayans Damon Wayans] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halle_Berry Halle Berry]. The film, released in December 1991, was shot between March and June 9, 1991 i.e. before the single release in July and the maxi-single in August. The end-credits mention that the song was included ''"courtesy of Paisley Park / Warner Bros. Records Inc. by arrangement with Warner Special Products"''. The song is played by a DJ ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Griffin Eddie Griffin]) in a strip-club. It is not known if the differences in the mix come from the original recording provided by Warner or was altered during the shooting or the post-production stage. Due to this uncertainty, this version is not listed above. The song was not included on the film’s soundtrack.<br />

|introduction = '''1999 ''(Super) Deluxe Edition'' ''' is an elaborated remastered re-issue of [[Prince]]’s fifth full-length studio album [[Album: 1999|1999]] and the eighth posthumous album release overall. <br />
<br />
In the 2CD version ''Deluxe Edition'', the remastered original album is augmented with a disc with 18 b-sides, extended versions and edits from the [[Album: 1999|1999]] era. <br />
<br />
The more elaborate ''Super Deluxe Edition'' has third and fourth disc with 24 previously unreleased songs from the [[Album: 1999|1999]] era, a CD with the [[01_December_1982-1|Late show of 1 December 1982 in Detroit, Michigan]] from the [[1999 Tour]] as well as a DVD release of the concert on [[29 December 1982|29 December 1982, Houston, Texas]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
See [[Album: 1999|1999]] for details on recording of the eleven original tracks.<br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate|Prince’s estate]] started to work on '''1999 Deluxe Edition''' in 2017, following the release of [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain Deluxe]], although [[Album: Piano & A Microphone 1983|Piano & A Microphone 1983]] and [[Album: Originals|Originals]] were released in the meantime (in 2018 and 2019 respectively). The original album was remastered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Grundman Bernie Grundman], who also did the mastering of the initial release in 1982. Grundman also worked on the second disc, ''Promo mixes and B-Sides Remastered'' which contains all the edited versions, remixes and B-sides that were officially released on singles to promote the album between 1982 and 1983. The edited version of [[D.M.S.R]] comes from the [[Album: Risky Business|Risky Business]] soundtrack. <br />
<br />
The third and fourth volume, ''Vault Tracks I'' and ''Vault Tracks II'' contains 12 previously unreleased songs ([[Money Don’t Grow On Trees]], [[Vagina]], [[Rearrange]], [[Colleen]], [[Turn It Up]], [[You’re All I Want]], [[If It’ll Make U Happy]], [[Purple Music]], [[Yah, You Know]], [[No Call U]], [[Don’t Let Him Fool Ya]] and [[Teacher, Teacher]]) and 11 previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes) of songs recorded between November 1981 and Summer 1982, during sessions for the original [[Album: 1999|1999]] album ([[Feel U Up]], [[Irresistible Bitch]], [[Bold Generation]], [[International Lover]], [[Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)]], [[How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore]], [[Possessed]], [[Delirious]], [[Moonbeam Levels]], [[Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got]] and [[Do Yourself A Favor]]). Some of these songs were never considered for that record however, and many of them were reworked over the years, considered for other projects or offered to other artists. Additionally, the ''Vault Tracks II'' contains a solo 'Tour Demo' medley of [[Lady Cab Driver]] / [[I Wanna Be Your Lover]] / [[Head]] / [[Little Red Corvette]] recorded by [[Prince]] between the two legs of the [[1999 Tour]] in 1983. [[Prince]]’s Estate archivist, Michael Howe, wanted to include the initial version of [[Baby I’m A Star]] recorded in December 1981, but this specific recording was not found. [[Lust U Always]] and the original 1982 version of [[Extraloveable]] were left off this release because of their risqué lyrics.<br />
<br />
The songs of the ''Vault Tracks'' discs are sequenced chronologically with accompanying notes by Duane Tudahl. Sixteen tracks were mixed by Niko Bolas in 2019 specifically for this release as some of the original mixes made by [[Prince]] or one of his engineer at that time were found only on cassettes. Bolas duplicated as closely as possible those mixes by working with the master tapes. [[Bold Generation]] was sourced from a cassette to be included on this release as the original master tape was so damaged that it become unusable. <br />
<br />
<br />
With the exception of drums played by [[Morris Day]] on 2 tracks ([[Bold Generation]] and [[International Lover]] (Take 1) [Live In Studio]), guitar parts and backing vocals provided by [[Dez Dickerson]] on [[If It’ll Make U Happy]], all of the songs and versions that make up the ''Vault Tracks'' discs are solo recordings by [[Prince]]. This material was recorded at his [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota and the [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, California.<br />
''Vault Tracks I'' and ''Vault Tracks II'' contains the initial versions or alternate takes of songs that were re-recorded or edited for the [[Album: 1999|1999]] album: <br />
* [[International Lover]] (Take 1) [Live In Studio]: This version was recorded live with [[Morris Day]] on drums and [[Prince]] on piano. [[Prince]] re-recorded the song solely shortly thereafter.<br />
* [[Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)]] (Original Version) was recorded in April 1982 by [[Prince]] at his home studio. The album version released in 1982 was a re-recording made a few weeks later at the [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, California.<br />
* [[Delirious]] is the full version that was edited down for the original album.<br />
<br />
Two alternate recordings of songs that were released as b-sides between 1982 and 1983 are included: [[How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore]] (Take 2) and [[Irresistible Bitch]]. A third song, [[Feel U Up]], recorded around the same time as ([[Irresistible Bitch]] (and mixed together), was re-recorded from scratch in 1986 and released as the b-side of [[Single: Partyman|Partyman]] in 1989, eight years after its initial tracking.<br />
<br />
[[Turn It Up]], [[If It’ll Make U Happy]], [[Moonbeam Levels]] were or may have been considered for the original [[Album: 1999|1999]] album in 1982 but were discarded. This version of [[Moonbeam Levels]] is slightly longer than the one included on the [[Album: 4Ever|4Ever]] posthumous compilation released in 2016. The 1982 version [[Possessed]] is entirely different from the version that appeared on [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain Deluxe]]. <br />
[[You’re All I Want]] bears similarities with two other songs written and released around that time (namely [[Delirious]] and [[Horny Toad]]). This song and [[Money Don’t Grow On Trees]] were planned for [[Album: The Hookers (1982)|'''The Hookers''']] album, which was left unfinished. [[You’re All I Want]] was later offered to [[Eric Leeds]] for a new [[Madhouse]] album (later called [[Album:_Times_Squared#Quotations_and_trivia|26]] and was listed (as '''U’re All Eye Want''') as one of 22 tracks [[Prince: A Celebration]] attendees could vote on for inclusion in the [[Album: Crystal Ball Volume II|Crystal Ball Volume II]] release but nothing came of it. [[Vagina]] was long thought to have been also recorded for possible use on [[Album: The Hookers (1982)|'''The Hookers''']] album, but its lyrics do not support this idea. Lead vocal overdubs were recorded by [[Vanity]] for [[No Call U]] but the song was not included on the [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]] album. <br />
<br />
The music and arrangement of [[Rearrange]] are very similar to the later recorded [[Lady Cab Driver]] but it is not known if it was recorded for [[Album: 1999|1999]] or another project. The lyrics of [[Rearrange]] are thematically linked to [[Bold Generation]]. Like [[Feel U Up]], [[Bold Generation]] was reworked and released eight years after its creation as [[New Power Generation]] on the [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] album. [[Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got]] was also reworked by [[Prince]] for inclusion on [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] after being re-recorded in 1986 and offered to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_O’Clock Three O’Clock] for their [[Paisley Park Records]] album [[Album: Vermillion|Vermillion]] along with a revamped version of [[Teacher, Teacher]]. The latter was also listed on a configuration of the unreleased [[Prince and the Revolution]] album [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] in 1986.<br />
<br />
[[Purple Music]], [[Colleen]], [[Yah, You Know]] and [[Don’t Let Him Fool Ya]] were not recorded for a specific project at that time or known to have been offered later to another artist or group. [[Do Yourself A Favor]] is a cover of a song by [[Pepé Willie]] ('''If You See Me''') that [[Prince]] first recorded with [[94 East]] in 1976. The song was still unreleased in 1982 and according to [[Pepé Willie]], [[Prince]] did not have a copy of the song re-recorded it from memory. [[Jesse Johnson]] released a version, clearly inspired by [[Prince]]’s 1982 take, also titled '''Do Yourself A Favor''' (and misses [[Prince]]’s own lyrical contribution to the track, a humorous spoken section in his "[[Jamie Starr]]" voice), on his album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockadelica ''Shockadelica'']. Oddly, the credits on both [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockadelica ''Shockadelica''] and [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999 Deluxe]] are shared by [[Pepé Willie]] and [[Jesse Johnson]], and [[Prince]]’s lyrical contribution are not acknowledged on the latter. The original version of '''If You See Me''' was released 10 years after [[Prince]]’s solo version.<br />
<br />
The last track of ''Vault Tracks II'', the 'Tour Demo' medley of [[Lady Cab Driver]] / [[I Wanna Be Your Lover]] / [[Head]] / [[Little Red Corvette]] was played live only once on [[01 February 1983|1 February 1983]] at Lakeland, Florida.<br />

|introduction = '''Sign O’ The Times ''(Super) Deluxe Edition'' ''' is an elaborated remastered re-issue of [[Prince]]’s ninth full-length studio album [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] and the ninth posthumous album release overall.<br />
<br />
In the 3CD ''Deluxe Edition'' version, the remastered original album is augmented with 1 CD with 13 b-sides, extended versions and edits from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era. <br />
<br />
The more elaborate ''Super Deluxe Edition'' version has fourth, fifth and sixth disc with 45 previously unreleased songs or versions from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era, a 2CD with the [[20 June 1987|20 June 1987 show in Utrecht, The Netherlands]] from the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] as well as a 2 hour 15 minutes DVD release of the concert on [[31 December 1987|31 December 1987, Paisley Park Studios, New Years Eve show]]. The DVD also includes the promo videos for [[Video: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], [[Video: U Got The Look|U Got The Look]] and [[Video: I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man|I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
See [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] for details on recording of the sixteen original tracks.<br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] started to work on '''Sign O’ The Times Deluxe Edition''' in 2019, following the release of [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]]. The original album was remastered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Grundman Bernie Grundman], who also did the mastering of the initial release in 1987. Grundman also worked on the third disc, ''Promo mixes and B-Sides Remastered'' which contains all the edited versions, remixes and B-sides that were officially released on singles to promote the album in 1987. All other songs on the released have [the 2020 remaster] label as well, but are in fact first mastered by Grundman and released for the first time in 2020.<br />
<br />
The fourth, fifth and sixth volumes of the CD-version, ''Vault Tracks I'', ''Vault Tracks II'' and ''Vault Tracks III'' contain 29 previously unreleased songs (some in different versions) and eleven previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes) of songs recorded between May 1979 (the original version of [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]) and July 1987 (songs intended for a project with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Raitt Bonnie Raitt]) that didn’t come to fruition. It should be noted that while from the right era, some of these songs were never considered for the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] album. <br />
<br />
Seven tracks ([[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] ''(1979 Version)'', [[Power Fantastic]] ''(Live In Studio)'', [[A Place In Heaven]] ''(Prince Vocal)'', [[Eggplant]], [[Forever In My Life]] ''(Early Vocal Run-Through)'', [[Crucial]] ''(Alternate Lyrics)'' and [[There’s Something I Like About Being Your Fool]]) were mixed by Niko Bolas in 2020 specifically for this release and duplicates as closely as possible the original mixes. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] originally intended to also include the [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] film on DVD in the ''Super Deluxe Edition'' set, but the legal complications over the rights (which have passed between several companies since they were sold to Cineplex Odeon Films in 1987) prevented them from doing so.<br />

|introduction = '''Sign O’ The Times ''(Super) Deluxe Edition'' ''' is an elaborated remastered re-issue of [[Prince]]’s ninth full-length studio album [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] and the ninth posthumous album release overall.<br />
<br />
In the 3CD ''Deluxe Edition'' version, the remastered original album is augmented with 1 CD with 13 b-sides, extended versions and edits from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era. <br />
<br />
The more elaborate ''Super Deluxe Edition'' version has fourth, fifth and sixth disc with 45 previously unreleased songs or versions from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era, a 2CD with the [[20 June 1987|20 June 1987 show in Utrecht, The Netherlands]] from the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] as well as a 2 hour 15 minutes DVD release of the concert on [[31 December 1987|31 December 1987, Paisley Park Studios, New Years Eve show]]. The DVD also includes the promo videos for [[Video: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], [[Video: U Got The Look|U Got The Look]] and [[Video: I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man|I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
See [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] for details on recording of the sixteen original tracks.<br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] started to work on '''Sign O’ The Times Deluxe Edition''' in 2019, following the release of [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]]. The original album was remastered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Grundman Bernie Grundman], who also did the mastering of the initial release in 1987. Grundman also worked on the third disc, ''Promo mixes and B-Sides Remastered'' which contains all the edited versions, remixes and B-sides that were officially released on singles to promote the album in 1987. All other songs on the released have [the 2020 remaster] label as well, but are in fact first mastered by Grundman and released for the first time in 2020.<br />
<br />
The fourth, fifth and sixth volumes of the CD-version, ''Vault Tracks I'', ''Vault Tracks II'' and ''Vault Tracks III'' contain 29 previously unreleased songs (some in different versions) and eleven previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes) of songs recorded between May 1979 (the original version of [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]) and July 1987 (songs intended for a project with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Raitt Bonnie Raitt]) that didn’t come to fruition. It should be noted that while from the right era, some of these songs were never considered for the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] album. <br />
<br />
Seven tracks ([[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] ''(1979 Version)'', [[Power Fantastic]] ''(Live In Studio)'', [[A Place In Heaven]] ''(Prince Vocal)'', [[Eggplant]], [[Forever In My Life]] ''(Early Vocal Run-Through)'', [[Crucial]] ''(Alternate Lyrics)'' and [[There’s Something I Like About Being Your Fool]]) were mixed by Niko Bolas in 2020 specifically for this release and duplicates as closely as possible the original mixes. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] originally intended to also include the [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] film on DVD in the ''Super Deluxe Edition'' set, but the legal complications over the rights (which have passed between several companies since they were sold to Cineplex Odeon Films in 1987) prevented them from doing so.<br />

|introduction = '''Sign O’ The Times ''(Super) Deluxe Edition'' ''' is an elaborated remastered re-issue of [[Prince]]’s ninth full-length studio album [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] and the ninth posthumous album release overall.<br />
<br />
In the 3CD ''Deluxe Edition'' version, the remastered original album is augmented with 1 CD with 13 b-sides, extended versions and edits from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era. <br />
<br />
The more elaborate ''Super Deluxe Edition'' version has fourth, fifth and sixth disc with 45 previously unreleased songs or versions from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era, a 2CD with the [[20 June 1987|20 June 1987 show in Utrecht, The Netherlands]] from the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] as well as a 2 hour 15 minutes DVD release of the concert on [[31 December 1987|31 December 1987, Paisley Park Studios, New Years Eve show]]. The DVD also includes the promo videos for [[Video: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], [[Video: U Got The Look|U Got The Look]] and [[Video: I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man|I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
See [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] for details on recording of the sixteen original tracks.<br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] started to work on '''Sign O’ The Times Deluxe Edition''' in 2019, following the release of [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]]. The original album was remastered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Grundman Bernie Grundman], who also did the mastering of the initial release in 1987. Grundman also worked on the third disc, ''Promo mixes and B-Sides Remastered'' which contains all the edited versions, remixes and B-sides that were officially released on singles to promote the album in 1987. All other songs on the released have [the 2020 remaster] label as well, but are in fact first mastered by Grundman and released for the first time in 2020.<br />
<br />
The fourth, fifth and sixth volumes of the CD-version, ''Vault Tracks I'', ''Vault Tracks II'' and ''Vault Tracks III'' contain 29 previously unreleased songs (some in different versions) and eleven previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes) of songs recorded between May 1979 (the original version of [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]) and July 1987 (songs intended for a project with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Raitt Bonnie Raitt]) that didn’t come to fruition. It should be noted that while from the right era, some of these songs were never considered for the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] album. <br />
<br />
Seven tracks ([[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] ''(1979 Version)'', [[Power Fantastic]] ''(Live In Studio)'', [[A Place In Heaven]] ''(Prince Vocal)'', [[Eggplant]], [[Forever In My Life]] ''(Early Vocal Run-Through)'', [[Crucial]] ''(Alternate Lyrics)'' and [[There’s Something I Like About Being Your Fool]]) were mixed by Niko Bolas in 2020 specifically for this release and duplicates as closely as possible the original mixes. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] originally intended to also include the [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] film on DVD in the ''Super Deluxe Edition'' set, but the legal complications over the rights (which have passed between several companies since they were sold to Cineplex Odeon Films in 1987) prevented them from doing so.<br />

|introduction = '''Sign O’ The Times ''(Super) Deluxe Edition'' ''' is an elaborated remastered re-issue of [[Prince]]’s ninth full-length studio album [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] and the ninth posthumous album release overall.<br />
<br />
In the 3CD ''Deluxe Edition'' version, the remastered original album is augmented with 1 CD with 13 b-sides, extended versions and edits from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era. <br />
<br />
The more elaborate ''Super Deluxe Edition'' version has fourth, fifth and sixth disc with 45 previously unreleased songs or versions from the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] era, a 2CD with the [[20 June 1987|20 June 1987 show in Utrecht, The Netherlands]] from the [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] as well as a 2 hour 15 minutes DVD release of the concert on [[31 December 1987|31 December 1987, Paisley Park Studios, New Years Eve show]]. The DVD also includes the promo videos for [[Video: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], [[Video: U Got The Look|U Got The Look]] and [[Video: I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man|I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sessions and compiling</b><br />
<br />
See [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] for details on recording of the sixteen original tracks.<br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] started to work on '''Sign O’ The Times Deluxe Edition''' in 2019, following the release of [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]]. The original album was remastered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Grundman Bernie Grundman], who also did the mastering of the initial release in 1987. Grundman also worked on the third disc, ''Promo mixes and B-Sides Remastered'' which contains all the edited versions, remixes and B-sides that were officially released on singles to promote the album in 1987. All other songs on the released have [the 2020 remaster] label as well, but are in fact first mastered by Grundman and released for the first time in 2020.<br />
<br />
The fourth, fifth and sixth volumes of the CD-version, ''Vault Tracks I'', ''Vault Tracks II'' and ''Vault Tracks III'' contain 29 previously unreleased songs (some in different versions) and eleven previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes) of songs recorded between May 1979 (the original version of [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]) and July 1987 (songs intended for a project with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_Raitt Bonnie Raitt]) that didn’t come to fruition. It should be noted that while from the right era, some of these songs were never considered for the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] album. <br />
<br />
Seven tracks ([[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] ''(1979 Version)'', [[Power Fantastic]] ''(Live In Studio)'', [[A Place In Heaven]] ''(Prince Vocal)'', [[Eggplant]], [[Forever In My Life]] ''(Early Vocal Run-Through)'', [[Crucial]] ''(Alternate Lyrics)'' and [[There’s Something I Like About Being Your Fool]]) were mixed by Niko Bolas in 2020 specifically for this release and duplicates as closely as possible the original mixes. <br />
<br />
[[The Prince Estate]] originally intended to also include the [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] film on DVD in the ''Super Deluxe Edition'' set, but the legal complications over the rights (which have passed between several companies since they were sold to Cineplex Odeon Films in 1987) prevented them from doing so.<br />
