Whispers and Screams - a planned double album??


What happened to the planned double album 'Whispers and Screams' which the Brian Boyd article from 1992 above mentions had been ready for eight months? Never heard that mentioned before?! (See no.20).

Interesting as the rest of that article seems to be mostly accurate...!

Interesting... Absolutely no idea! Maybe a provisional title for what later became the Love Symbol album? Maybe an unedited version of what later became Orgasm?

Yes, it's odd as I never heard about that before...

I've heard the Dawn mentioned a few times before (an quote in the London Metro even as recently as 07 mentioned it was a film of his life that he was working on)

Never heard of it. Can't find any info on it either. It's not mentioned in The Vault nor on scififilmnerds unreleased album info.

Yes, it was either 06 or 07 and was just a sideline from an entertainment reporter....saying he was working on a film of his life. I heard nothing else since about it though...

And what about point 16. A video for Live Aid of him playing naked?? Did that really happen?

Point 17 is the story of Prince and Sinead. Which leads me again to my point: Prince should answer Sinead's cry for help and give her a good fuck. Both need it.

I've looked it up, but I guess it was a bit of wishful thinking on the side of the journalist.

^ Ah, ok! Well maybe that version is unreleased j/k!

But the majority of those points are known to be true which makes me interested in the comment about the album..?...

Could it be a reference to Whispers and Echoes?

I remember this titled bouncing around but there was never any follow up of individula tracks or any info whatsoever then it just vanished. Not even a hint of a title track ever emerged.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

^ Ah, interesting theory, that would explain why he would call it that, it's quite ironic!

I remember seing a picture of him sitting playing a guitar with nothing on but leggings and probably a thong. Maybe thats it?

I've heared about an album called Whispers and Echoes somewhere after Graffiti Bridge, but it was all just a rumor.

I dont believe for one second that no1 has "Whispers & Screams", finest piece of unreleased pleasure ever...tut,tut, tut hardcore fans... wink

If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.
