I've finally put together Parade as a double album, containing the original songs with extended versions and outtakes. I can now safely say, I've found my favourite Prince album. For me nothing will ever top this!

Here's the listing

Side 1:

Christopher Tracy's Parade

New Position

I Wonder U

Under The Cherry Moon

Girls & Boys

Life Can Be So Nice

Side 2:

Love or $ (extended version)

Anotherloverholenyohead (extended version)

Venus De Milo

Side 3:

Kiss (original version, not the naff extended version)

Do U Lie

Mountains (extended version)

Side 4:

All My Dreams

Alexa De Paris (extended version)

Sometimes It Snows In April

------------------------------------------------------

The whole vibe of this configuration is amazing. When I first heard Parade I was disappointed, but now in hindsight and with the benefit of hearing the extended/unreleased material, I feel that it's both one of his greatest achievements and a wasted opportunity (With all this great material it should have been a double album).

Something similar already exists in the real world with long versions, b-sides and a couple of extra things.

Check it out.

Thank you. I made the mistake of leaving off Old Friends 4 Sale. Criminal!

old friends 4 sale is still one of his best unreleased songs ever. the orginal version is so heartfelt

Well, if you can't see the title of this release anywhere on the back cover picture (that's the one on the bottom) then there is something wrong.

Do you have a vinyl press to make it??? Otherwise, how are you going to listen to all 4 sides?

A clean studio version of 'An Honest Man' instrumental, my kingdom for a clean studio version of 'An Honest Man' instrumental

Thats great, but what about Sexual Suicide and Others here with us.

Sexual Suicide was never intended for Parade, but yes, Others Here With Us should be on the OP's tracklist.

I don't have a vinyl press. I was simply trying to make a list in the context of how a double album would have been laid out at the time. Around 20 minutes max for each side. I'm nerdy like that!

I was trying to tracklist in the context of Parade being a double album of 20 minutes max on each side. Others Here With Us lost out. I feel it breaks up the mood of the album anyway. Never been one of my favourites. However, I can definitely fit Old Friends For Sale on there.
