What is the TOTAL number of audio recordings released under the name 'prince' since he started making music? Is anyone crazy enough to find out? Including LPs, CDs and cassettes, but obviously not counting double.

The TOTAL will include the following (may have missed out on some but just for a general idea, everything):

1. Released Singles
+
2. Released albums
+
3. Bootleg singles
+
4. Bootleg albums
+
5. All Live released
+
6. All Live Bootlegs (ALL)
+
7. Greatest hits released
+
8. Bootleg compilations

Only audio recordings. No DVDs please. It's a tall task but I'm sure there are prince completists out there who would have a fair idea. How many do you own?

Most importantly, can we have a figure? Does any other artist match this total?

My God, you actually ask me to do this in one lifetime?

yes. if you have a big collection, just count. keep the numbers coming.

after all, the man has played, performed, conmposed and produced all this music in one lifetime. and we can't count it? what sort of prince fanatics are we? are we wimpy that we can't count? I met a grateful dead fan who knows everything, every last thing about every EP and LP released.
