This is shaping up to be a great list, databank! Thanks for putting in the hard work. Thanks to your update I've already come across a few albums I had no idea existed (for instance the Morris Day side project).

A great way to keep ourselves updated on any Prince affiliated artist releases is cdbaby.com. They specialize in underground/independent releases, and they're an especially good source when it comes to local Minneapolis artists who used to work for P. I've dug up quite a few albums using their site. Here's an example : local MPLS artist Sophia Shorai recorded an album with Tommy Barbarella called 'Long as you're living'.

Two additions to your list :

*Candy Dulfer - Live in Amsterdam & Live in Montreux are both albums and (great) dvds.

**Sandra St Victor has a new EP out, called "Sinner child (at my spheres)". There is also a remix EP. There's more info on her website www.sandrastvictor.com.

I'll do two artists for today as well. Maybe you can add them to your list?

TONY M as DEACON (source : wikipedia)

the song 'Fast Break' on the 'Hoop Dreams' OST (1994)

JILL JONES (source : wikipedia)

• Jill Jones (1987), Paisley Park
• Two (2001), Dav Music
• Wasted (The Grand Royals Ft. Jill Jones) (2004), Peace Bisquit
• Living for the Weekend (2009), Peace Bisquit
• --> Jill's working on a new album right now, it might drop in 2012.

Didn't include Living For The Weekend because it's a single. Thx for The Grand Royals info, I didn't know that one

You're right. After having looked into it, it was just an EP consisting of the single + 8 remixes of that same track.

The Grand Royals is the project name for Ian Ginsberg collaborating with Jill Jones. (The band, so to speak, only consisted of these two members.)

We could add another ST PAUL album to the list. This best of compilation includes two previously unreleased solo songs, "The Regulator" & "Forgive Me", and one song with fDELUXE, "@8" (later released on their 'Gaslight' album).

*Straight to the funk, volume 1 : best of, 2010

Don't forget Rosie Gaines too!

She's got a LOAD of albums & EPs!

I wasn't planning to add best ofs but if u request it I will I'll add it later, though, as I'm strict on respecting the thread's chronology in suggestions in order not to forget anything.

Wikipedia also mentions a few albums where he performed as a sideman, but I wasn't sure what to do with them as I couldn't find any additional detailed info :s

Thanks, Databank! I mentioned this particular best of because it included some new songs.

I love this thread... The final list will be enormous. Thanks for putting in so much work, Databank. Maybe you could request it to become a sticky once you've got a complete list?

Hi y'all

Had a few health issues these last days, might prevent me from updating for a coupla more days, but I 'ain't dead yet

Get well soon databank. I've got an ear infection myself at the moment that's making anything other than sleeping a pain in the ass (ear?!).

Still got some releases to add to the list too sometime this week.

Nice work databank!!

Quick question, what was Prince's involvement with Jesse's Shockadelica album? Of course I know the back story about Prince's Shockadelica song and Jesse's use of Prince's arrangement of Do Yourself a Favor. Was there something else?

Thanks and keep up the good work. I'm a bit overwhelmed now with all of this information! It's gonna take me years to track all this stuff down and listen to it!

It's only that (DYAF). It's true that Jesse used P's arrangements without P's consent but nonetheless, Jesse's writing co-credits are actually Prince's additions (Pépé Willie was sole author of If You See Me). Therefrore, DYAF is the only official release of Prince's version of the song (Pépé's pre-Prince version surfaced in 1992).

Therefore, despite Prince not approving Jesse releasing his version (the fact that he didn't sue makes it a tacit approval, though), I always considered DYAF as a Prince song given to another artist (or, in that case, taken by him), hence the italics here ^^

In the end I think that I will, just like I did for Sheena Easton, just indicate that a best of album exists, leaving the details for the curious and obstinate fan to find out In some cases, listing best ofs is as complicated as listing singles, so I'll just say they exist with no more details ^^

The mods are to decide what is sticky or not, I won't request but u can if u wanna. I doubt it'll be a sticky, though, as Scififilmnerds astonishing listings and articles weren't made stickies in 2009 (though remaining the definitive articles on the subjects they addressed to this day).

Thanks for answering my question about stickies, databank. I hope you're already feeling better. I've got a busy week right now, but I think I might be able to put in some extra work on the list next weekend.

Hope you feel better by the time you read this. Get well soon. Your help on databank's thread has been much appreciated, not just by me, but I'm sure by all the peope who have checked in on the list on a regular basis. Thanks again!

Thanks guys

Updated list and alphabetised it too!

Holy grail type stuff! Fabulous

Updated one final (I think?!) time!

Probably a fools erand, but if I get round to it, I'd also like to expand it with related artists as performers, remixes as well as just writers/producers - *gulp*

AS-TO-NI-SHING work, dude!!! Thanks!

I didn't read it in detail yet but I noticed a small mistake: Rosie Gaines' Try Me was released as early as 2004 or 2005 (I think it's 2005 but I don't have the time to check right now), not 2010. I know because I legally downloaded it from her website back then.

Peace

There are no writing-credits for Prince on RS2 by Rhonda Smith, "just" lead and rhythm guitar on "Time" ( 2 songs co-written by Kat Dyson )

Uups, this was a repyl to your impressive list, but the quote disappeared...

counts this one?

Neneh Cherry:

Neneh Cherry - I've Got Y...at Discogs

Thanks famosA

maxbos, it sure does count - though databank's original thread was albums specifically, although I ended up adding a couple of non-album/b-side songs in my list too - but purposely left out non-album remixes (there are quite a few Wendy & Lisa, Bobby/David Z, Jesse Johnson etc ones), and contributions as performer only (like lots of tracks with Wendy on guitar for example, not as producer/writer).

If you want to compile a remixes list, I think we'd all love that - and could help too if you like!
