i think prince and bowie are just about neck-in-neck in terms of officially released material, but bowie - even though he has a pretty impressive amount of bootleggage out there - has far less circulating in his "fan underground" than prince does. for whatever THAT'S worth...  | |

Miles Davis has a large catalogue as well. He's been dead for 16 years now and they're still releasing box sets filled with unreleased jams (though none of it with Prince unfortunately  ).Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

That's a really good point also. I think Prince is hands down the most bootlegged artist ever (in terms of the number of concerts and outtakes circulating among fans). He's been constantly on the road for almost his entire 30 year career in an era filled with accessible technology. Plus it doesn't help that his music has a quality about it that attracts an 'obsessive' audience. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

Smillan said: Hey, can anyone think of a musician who has recorded / released more material than Prince. I don't know how many albums Frank Zappa released, could he have done more. Although maybe Prince has recorded a lot more, just like at the Work.
Whereas most of Prince's official releases are pure studio tracks, many of Frank Zappa's releases are live albums. Some of them are a mix of live and studio tracks. And some of the albums that are considered traditional studio releases have songs where the basic tracks are from live concert recordings, then those basic tracks are "built up" to studio quality with overdubs and editing. Zappa's vault is still in the process of being explored by designated vaultmeister Joe Travers, and Frank's wife Gail Zappa stated that about forty completed album masters have been identified so far. There's also orchestral compositions committed to paper as well as tons of digital synclavier compositions in various states of completion. Most of Frank's stuff is on analog tape which, if you include his studio work before The Mothers of Invention, dates back to the early 1960s. Some of his earliest analog tape recordings have been baked and transferred successfully, so anyone worried about the preservation of Prince's analog material shouldn't be too worried....although Gail did say that when Joe bakes Frank's tapes they only get one pass at it, if they fuck up, then the recordings are lost forever! | |

Bruce Springsteen perhaps? 150 cd releases between 1990 and 2007. That's a fair few. He writes for other people a lot too. Can't stand the stuff personally but hey...
Umm how about Bob Dylan? A LOT of tunes from that guy. I think there are probably quite a few artists that can compare with output volume. No point mentioning 'the vault' as I'm sure every artist has many songs they've chosen to scrap, keep or just hold back. Hell, even I have one or two. | |

A better question would be who has had more releases in the writer/producer/performer category. NOT MANY! | |

I suppose it is important in this discussion to go over studio albums. Mind you, I would put in the Warner Bros, best of for the B-sides which would have been a great release on its own. James Brown has loads of live albums but then again, if Prince wanted to he could put out loads too.
Also, with all of the hundreds of unreleased material, in theory Prince doesn't have to write any more music and could keep on releasing albums for the next 20 years or so. Miles Davis must be ahead of Prince but he first released an album in 1949 and released his last one in his life time in 1991 (42 years). Prince has been going for around 29 years so long may he continue.  | |

I'd say for every album there is at least an albums worth of unreleased material. I would say this is probably the case up to Rave. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

1994 The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Songbooks I've heard these recordings....they're phenomenal. I've got them too.  Ella was a ridiculously crazy talent that I adored. Which is why when these heffas like Beyonce, Britney, and Christina get called divas I wanna scream. Ella should be required listening for all these chicks to see what a real vocalist does, and it doesn't include screaming at the top of yo damn lungs.  
Also, I think Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin have more released recordings than P. | |
