Released:

- Madhouse - 8 (1986, released 1987)

- Madhouse - 16 (1987)

- Eric Leeds - Times Squared (1991)

- The NPG Orchestra - Kamasutra (1996, released 1997)

- Prince - Xpectation (2002, released 2003)

- Prince - C-Note (2002, released as separate tracks in 2002 and as a full-length album in 2004 - not 100% instrumental as it contains one vocal track)

- Prince - N.E.W.S. (2003)

Unreleased:

- Prince - Owen Husney's Rehearsal Room Session (1977, never intended for release, circulating)

- The Flesh - The Flesh (1986, planned for release but canceled at the last minute, uncirculating)

- Madhouse - 24 (1988, planned for release in 1989, evolved into Times Squared, circulating in full)

- Madhouse - 24 (1993, only 2 tracks were released, planned for European-only release in 1994 or 1995, canceled for unknown reasons, circulating in full)

- Madhouse - 24 (1995, only 2 tracks were released which seem to indicate that it might have been a jazz version of Kamasutra. Seems to have been planned for release at some point in the late 1990's/early 2000's but was canceled for unknown reasons, uncirculating)

There were many other instrumental sessions, some we know about and some we don't, but I don't believe any of them were ever considered for release.

Hope this helps.

As suggested previously - it can also be helpful to some people if you switched your Caps Lock off when you post - thanks.
