I wonder if we can finally get the tracklist of all those songs peppered throughout year one of NPGMC. There are many theories and ideas, but that disk could tell the truth.

You can see the names of a handful of the tracks on the CD Prince's hand is holding.

Underneath the Cream
When I Lay My Hands on U
Supercute
When Will We B Paid
U Make My Sun Shine
Golden Parachute ("hute" can be seen under his thumb)
Gamilla ("Ga" can be seen between his pinky and ring finger)
The Daisy Chain (between the middle and ring finger, upside down, guessing as it's a lowercase "the" and then a word ending with y and a word starting with C)

Impossible to know the track order but it's cool to see those songs all but confirmed. One would guess "High" would be included as well.

See the large image of Prince's hand on the CD:

I totally agree!

.

The designer would have had a track listing to work from - even if the tracks were to change, which often they did.

.

At least a track listing would be confirmed.

Very good point!

.

If the tracks spiralled inwards, then the likely track listing would be:

.

When I Lay My Hands On U

Supercute

Underneath The Cream

Golden Parachute

When Will We B Paid

The Daisy Chain

Gamilla

High

U Make My Sun Shine

.

It's interesting to see only nine tracks. I can't see room for a tenth.

.

This is the track listing on PrinceVault:

.

Supercute

Underneath The Cream

Golden Parachute

When Will We B Paid

The Daisy Chain

Gamillah

High

My Medallion

U Make My Sun Shine

When Eye Lay My Hands On U

.

It's interesting to see My Medallion can't be placed.

.

Maybe Steve Parke would be happy to solve the mystery but I don't use FB.

.

Awesome! I love seeing this and the Rave 89 artwork.

And nice detective work regarding the track list! I was just listening to The Chocolate Invasion and The Slaughterhouse over the past few hours. I'd love to know the official High tracklist.

Well, I mean it's not because Parke could post it. It's probably not as big of a mystery to him, as it is to us, because he was looking at it every day.

I asked Parke. Will post if he responds. He would certainly know what at least one planned configuration was.

Gross. He certainly had the right to put his pubes on an album cover, but I have the right to say "Uh no thanks" and not buy it.

I bet you bought Dirty Mind with his thigh sideburns. Or Lovesexy where he's totally naked. or Prince where he had his junk rubbing on the back of a horse.

This.

How can someone be offended by pubic hair?

Always loved Supercute. Yes it has a very dated and unflattering production, but you could hear that underneath it all is a very cool track.

I think many of his 90's tracks can be cleaned up and get to the core songwriting and get pleasant results. But supercute for sure is a great pop song buried in bad production technique.

The art looks like something someone has knocked up on one of those greetings card websites, as for the track list...I'm almost falling asleep typing this due to the boredom. I'd have bought it though, like the sucker I am.

Humans have hair on their body nothing gross about it unless it is coming out of your ears on nose.

The average person is not walking down the street showing off the pubic hair.

This is all subjective, isn't it? You're getting offended because i dont wanna see P's pubes? I find that hilarious. I seriously hope you don't lose sleep over this. But I bet you will. I bet you'll think about this tonight and be bothered by it. Then you'll post tomorrow how you didn't think about it at all. It's like i have a Crystal Ball.

---Not subjective humans have body hair most of us figured this out around junior high in health class. If you find my comments on it on hilarious you need to get out more.
