. But that's odd, since the sessions in March and early April obviously were for C&D which he was planning as one of the two final albums he'd deliver to WBR on 26 April. Plus those songs are combined on C&D. He seems to have been rather focused on those "parting gifts"/"contractual obligations" back then, yet here we see three C&D tracks on an Emancipation tracklist... © Bart Van Hemelen

. Hmm, the timeline doesn't make complete sense, though. http://www.princevault.co...d_Disorder says: .
. Yet several/most of C&D's tracks were apparently recorded later. . C&D: re-recorded in March/April . DWD: April. . . Zannalee: worked on in April. . IRTIA: March. . ITL: March. . IW: March. . HU: February/March. . So perhaps all of those "new" recordings were re-recordings? © Bart Van Hemelen

While y'all are fussin' over dates, did no one decide to publish Parke's caption on this? It's half the story. I remember after Emancipation had its release party and had heard the ENTIRE album, Prince was walking to his apartment just down the hall ( in striped yellow and red pants ) and I hopped up from my desk, catching up with him as he was unlocking his door. Of course I couldn't say ... " hey Prince" so I made sure to approach loudly ( on carpeting ) and started to speak as I walked "...I just wanted to tell you ( now he's turned and I'm right up on him ) how awesome your new album is. I am proud to be part of it. " If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

I love seeing this written out in Prince's handwriting, with some similarities to how he wrote out the tracklist of Sign O' The Times on the album art. . It's a small, simple thing visually, but it helps to tie Emancipation-era Prince to the same guy as SoTT-era Prince. For me, at the time of Emancipation, they seemed like 2 totally different people in terms of music quality & my perception as a fan. Seeing this helps bridge that mental gap. . This is all part of my ongoing rehabilitation towards the post-WB years, and appreciating them more and more. [Edited 6/8/17 12:21pm] "..free to change your mind" | |

It was already supposed to close Exodus (seconf config) That would seem slightly more appropriate. The backwards writing has me thinking it was a hidden track. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

Nice logic on the backwards writing. | |

I wonder what the status is of the songs that did end up on Emancipation. I mean, it's all about the masters, right? While he was under contract with WB, all recordings belonged to them. See also all the tracks now on Purple Rain Deluxe and the problems he had with WB for some of the tracks on the released Crystal Ball. . Maybe the $100 million contract moved all recordings to Prince already, apart from the tracks he would give for those albums? In any case, there are a lot of tracks here, recorded at roughly the same time. Some ended up on WB albums, some on his first "emancipated" era album. When did his songs start being his? With that last contract with WB? With the end of the WB contract? Prince didn't care and simply used vault tracks as he saw fit? . That's the stuff that my internal nerd is interested in, as it might have repercussions for future deluxe and vault releases. Paisley Park is in your heart - Love Is Here! | |

. The $100M contract that Prince bragged about at first. It wasn't realistic, but that never mattered to P. . As to him telling WB or not, this picture is as much proof as anything that he recorded the tracks during his WB contract. I'm hoping someone can tell us what the legal status is of those tracks as to ownership/copyrights. I'm sure as soon as he had Paisley Park Studios up and running, it was much easier for Prince to hide recordings from WB, as before they had to pay at least for all those Sunset Sound sessions, so that told them at least about some recordings. . Since currently (if that Universal deal is actually off now) there is only the estate and WB with claims to the works, I wish that they could get together and work something out. That way the path is finally available to make plans to actually release all those deluxe versions and vault releases. As it is, we're just getting more courtroom drama for the next years.

. Panda's notwithstanding, and in keeping with the 12 songs 1 hour vibe of Emancipation, here's my take. Works better for me, your mileage may vary. Had to work a bit to make the flow work well. .

This is actually a fantastic thing to see on the day of his birthday, thanks to Parke for sharing this and thanks to bluegangsta for posting it here so that I actually got to see it. I'm gonna duck out of the org now for tonight and forget about what a certain someone else has decided to 'share' on Prince's birthday. Gonna listen to a few Prince tunes and go to sleep. Night all.
