Mutiny and High Fashion don't really move me but 'Fashion' is ok.
But 'River Run Dry', 'Screams of Passion', Nothing Compares 2 U, and 'Desire',
I would love to hear Prince do on an album.

Can we replace Mutiny with Desire and make Mutiny a B-side?
Add Paisley Park back in.
While I'm at it, make America the B- side of Pop Life and put She's Always in My Hair after Pop Life.

Prince would never have put two ballads back to back inthose days.

I often wondered about that - but i feel the vibe of the songs is more geared towards parade - in fact High Fashion would have been perfectly suited to Under The Cherry moon. The Family project was clearly the some kind of bridge album for prince to move over to the more horn based sound he wanted to explore.

I always thought Manic Monday would have fit the ATWIAD album though.

All the Family songs warranted more attention from prince (Didnt Bobby z write River runs Dry though?). Much as I love the family album, wouldnt it have been total killer if the album had included other '85 tracks given to Sheila, such as A Love Bizare, Sister Fate, Dear Michaelangelo. That wouldve been one helluva album.

I don't think any of The Family tracks would've worked on Around The World
In A Day at all. Musically, they've got a very different vibe from each other.
They've got more in common with the Parade material. Adding them to ATWIAD
would just ruin the album IMO.

And yes, Prince didn't write "River Run Dry", Bobby Z did.

I'd take The family's version of NC2U over P's any day. Paul's vocal have so much ache in them and that's what makes it a great cut.

I agree only because Prince spends so much effort trying to distance himself from The Family and Sinead's versions.

He definitely distances himself from sineads, but listen to the One Night Alone version of NC2U, its not too far from the arrangement of the Family's. Also the arranegement he performed on the nude tour had echoes of sineads version, in terms of vocal delivery, tempo etc.

Ive only ever heard his demos for High Fashion, Mutiny & Desire. Ive heard a rehersal of Screams of passion, but nothing else. Do others exist?

Interesting idea. Prince's creative method is to release his music before he fully develops the concept that he is processing. That's why I never agree with the fans who want to edit P because we would miss out on a lot of great material.

The album would've been too long...Warner Brothers would've pitched a fit...and we'd never have gotten to hear any of it.
