PrintableIt's been said before, but it would be a dream for these albums to be re-issued with extra songs / b-sides / remixes on them. I know it would mean Prince working with WB's again, and is therefore never likely to happen, but surely its worth pestering WB's about. Particularly re-mastered stuff.
If enough fans lobbyed for it, Im sure it would make them re-consider. Imagine Parade with All My Dreams; Sexual Suicide; Love Or $; An Honest Man; Others Here With Us; Last Heart; Kiss & Mountains 12", and possibbley even some live stuff. Im not even gonna try to start on SOTT. This wouldnt only be great for us fans, but it would help re-establish in the publics minds just how brilliantly prolific this man was. | |

fms said: CrozzaUK said: They should definitely re-issue / re-master SOTT on one CD, perhaps editing Beautiful night or It slightly so that all the songs can fit on the one disc. The sound on the current CD is crap, and its such a pain having to change discs. that second problem is easy to fix. make yourself a single disk version by including the single edit of the title song from the hits 1 or the very best of..i've tried it. fits perfectly, if u don't mind an early fade for SOTT. by the way, my opinion is that the parade album is probably prince's most unique album ever. he really had something special on that one, never sounded like it before or after. the problem is it is too short on great material! had parade been a double (think of outtakes: alexa de paris, love or money, sexual suicide) parade would be an all-time classic album from the man. as is, i could never pick it over sign o' the times, which , along with the 'prince' album (2nd one), has spawned more classic prince songs than any other. aside from 'kiss', 'girls & boys' and 'sometimes it snows...', parade is a mere curiosity compared to SOTT. just count the classix: sign, , icould never..., if i was..., the cross, housequake, u got the look, strange relationship, ballad of dorothy...& c., & c., & c.!!! let's do the math, people! how high can u count?!! No disrespect but how can u say that the album Prince has spawned more classics than Purple Rain? | |

I would have to say for the music beats Parade has my vote, but lyrics in the songs SOTT has my vote. | |

I'll adopt a 'Brian Wilson' approach to this question. Brian Wilson has said that he agrees that Pet Sounds is his "best" work, but he actually called the Friends album his personal favorite. Having said that...
I agree that Prince's best album on the whole is SOTT However, my favorite is still Parade. -SWANGisthinkingofchanginghisfavoritetoLovesexyorTRC | |
