of his albums. simply because so many others have done it n put b-sides, remixes and unreleased tracks on a second disc that would be so absolutely amazing 
all those songs in good top notch soundquality, including long versions of "Love or Money" and "Alexa de Paris" etc and some 12" versions plus a couple of unreleased tracks, like "Others here With Us" and "Old friends 4 Sale (86)" or "All My Dreams" to name but a few
The only adaptation I would make regarding the entire Parade project as it was released, including it's single releases n videos etc would be the inclusion on the album of the first, original version of "Old Friends 4 Sale" and the ultraweird "Others here With Us", thus providing the album with Princes weirdest/most haunting track and his most beautiful ballad.  You're killing me softly here. Stop it! Just including the long version of "Alexa de Paris" would ruin my panties. The Normal Whores Club | |

Hard to believe that on the back of the huge success of Kiss, Mountains couldn't even get in the top 40, and yet later on Girls & Boys managed to get to 11 - I think that proves Girls & Boys was inherently catchier than Mountains and a far better single choice. | |

Yeah - but 'Mountains' was the only single he released as a 7", 10" and 12"!!!!  ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

Don't get me wrong, I love both songs, but 'Kiss' should have been followed by "Girls & Boys' with an extended 'I Wonder U' as the B-side and then 'Anotherholenyohead' with 'Neon Telephone' as the B-side.
 I agree. I have a lot of those old 12" singles and I wish that they would re-release them on CD's. I know that they would sell. It's frustrating to me as to why they won't do that. Don't they want to make money? | |

I have only joined this site this year so forgive me if this has already been discussed but I absolutely adore UTCM stuff and wondered what other people thought of the actual film and what there fav moments were ? I know its sort of cheesy but For so many reasons its my fav, I love the Christopher Tracy character.
Also good to see someone else likes the song All My Dreams cause I love it along with She Spoke To Me! Which Ive not seen mentioned before. | |

Actually, I agree with you... Anotherlover would have been a great 2nd single. I seem to recall Billboard magazine having a similar feeling for this track and, also, commenting that Kiss+Anotherlover made for a better listen than the maxi-single of Kiss itself. As it was, the disappointing showing of Mountains on the pop chart pretty much killed any interest that Pop Radio had in Parade. | |
