I have just read a really cool and informative thread...

http://www.prince.org/msg/7/101499

started by scififilmnerd and provided with a huge wealth of info by BorisFishpaw. To both of you can I just say...



So to my topic - how amazing would it have been (for the fans) if there had in fact been a triple (or double) CD released in 1993 called "The Dawn". This is according to Boris. It sounds very plausible and I am somewhat surprised it is not mentioned in any of Uptown's books (including The Vault which is brilliant).

Anyhow, assuming that Boris is right then does anyone care to venture a guess as to what the track list might have been? The rules have to be that any tracks included must not have been actually recorded after December 1993.

Here goes:

Disc I
01. Interactive
02. Endorphinmachine
03. Space
04. Pheromone
05. Race
06. Loose!
07. Papa
08. Dark
09. Solo
10. Come (B.E. Mix)
11. Strays Of The World
12. Poem

Disc II
01. What's My Name
02. Die
03. Calhoun Square
04. Dolphin
05. The Same December
06. Laurianne
07. Dream
08. Chaos & Disorder
09. Emotional Crucifixion
10. Shhhh
11. Zannalee
12. The Ride

Disc III
01. Acknowledge Me
02. Love Sign
03. Days Of Wild
04. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World
05. Hide The Bone
06. Player
07. 319
08. Now
09. Shy
10. Billy Jack Bitch
11. Eye Hate U
12. Gold

How's that?

Any tracks missing? Any tracks recorded after the cut-off date (I don't have any books at hand to check).

You forgot both versions of "Welcome 2 The Dawn" (acoustic and "normal")...

Neversin.

Whoa that sounds cool! I would have included Peach (segueing into Chaos & Disorder) and Pope.

Well here's the one I made a few years back (though I did cheat by including a couple of tracks
that were not recorded at that point)
