Website with chronology of songs as they were recorded?

Anyone know if there's a comprehensive website that lists all the known Prince songs (official or otherwise) along with their recording date(s)? I'm in the process of cataloging a ton of my random tunes on MP3, and I name every album (or individual song) starting with its release year.

Year is fine... I don't need down to the day and hour.

Thanks in advance!

The songs are in alphabetical order but the year of recording is listed.

Honestly...not sure what's on the web. But the Per Nilsen book DMSR really covers that exact thing very well up to 1987/8 or so. I've often thought of making a playlist of all his songs in chronological order, just to hear how it all went down over the years.

And if they could copy that page, and paste it into Excel, they could sort by year and have it done that way too.

Isn't that what the actual book called "The Vault" is supposed to do?

I've never been able to get me a copy of it.

The exact date of a song recording is not always known, so the suggestion to follow the list on the princevault site will give you best known year of recording.

Where a more precise date of recording is known, this is shown in the information which underpins the 'On This Day' section featured on the Home page of the site.

The complete calendar is accessible here:

http://www.princevault.co...iversaries

So, for example, selecting January 7:

http://www.princevault.co.../January_7

shows that Prince worked on incidental music to the film 'Under The Cherry Moon' on 7 January 1986, and that he is also known to have worked on specific recordings at some time during the week commencing 7 January 1983.
ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.

Superb list btw Scifi, that must have taken ages.
I'm far too lazy to ever try compiling something like that.. biggrin

Anyone know if there's a comprehensive website that lists all the known Prince songs (official or otherwise) along with their recording date(s)? I'm in the process of cataloging a ton of my random tunes on MP3, and I name every album (or individual song) starting with its release year.

Year is fine... I don't need down to the day and hour.

Thanks in advance!

There a great book called 'The Vault' which does that.
Online, I don't know.

Obviously I know the catalogue is vast but seeing lists like that is really mind boggling. He's had a busy career.

Good golly, Scififilmnerd, that is some impressive work. I've been wanting to put all of my officially released stray Prince tracks in order but I was never sure about what should go where. Looks like now I know. Thanks for your effort.

Honestly...not sure what's on the web. But the Per Nilsen book DMSR really covers that exact thing very well up to 1987/8 or so. I've often thought of making a playlist of all his songs in chronological order, just to hear how it all went down over the years.


I hope you don't mind if I steal that idea for myself. Sounds fun.
