Purple Rain Dbl LP?

I am looking at a list of songs that were never released in this Per Nielsen book,and some say that they were included on a Purple Rain Dbl LP. I have been searching,and have to found this double LP. Anyone know where to find it?

There's no such thing as a double album of Purple Rain.

There was a Japanese promo double album called "Strange Tales From The Rain" though.
Maybe it was a reference to this? As well as tracks from Purple Rain it included
several b-sides and associated artists' tracks, as well as previous Prince hits.

So songs like 2 Many 2 Soon,and 2 Late Darling are not real songs? There were a couple of other that were listed also,but I don't have the book with me right now.

The whole thing is fake, including the song titles.

It looks sooooo "bootleg". WB must have been caught off guard by PRs success and needed it whipped up in a day.

Normally I would be interested in something like this,but this set isn't too exciting.There's nothing rare on it.The song "Modernaire" should be on this thing!

eil.com actually had this for sale a few months ago, and no I didn't get mine from them. Their stuff is too expensive.

Isn't "Jammin' Til The Dawn" a circulating instrumental outtake?

Disc 1 was basically a deluxe edition of Purple Rain and Disc 2 was greatest hits
