This is incredible and just reaffirms the mind bending thought that pretty much every studio bootleg track has been privately circulating all this time in excellent quality. Thanks to whoever unleashed this. Now for my requests: MOONBEAM LEVELS. (Sorry for yelling)

Yes, that would be nice.

What I really want, is the NPG version of Love Thy Will Be Done with P on lead vocals instead of Sonny.

I would rather have Tony M rap sweet nothings in my ear before giving up my Parade Demos.

Worth downloading for Love or $ - holy shit that is some totally, stripped down, nasty funk. Even better than the overblown 12" remix version, it's a groove that locks and keeps going. Uh.

I thought that was the poorest track on ther to be honest. And that's considering I don't like and never have liked There's Others Here With Us. Love or $ is far too much of a demo for me. If P's vocals were bought up it would be awesome and, for me, it mars what is a fantastic release.

Eh, for me "Love or $" is worthwhile for the funky guitar. I can see why he cut it from the released version as it seems superfluous but it is still good to hear it.

How dare a release titled Parade Demos have a track that is far too much of a demo.

Classic.

I know.

Having heard There's Others Here With Us several times since it became available to me, that song would never fit anywhere on an official Prince release even if WB were libral enough to let him use at the time, it's just too damn strange for anyone but some -us- diehards. I like what is here on this release sans Claire Fischer and several songs, this was a great discovery for those responsible, danke.

Yes, exactly what I was wondering about: Are these really demos? Seems more like just an early configuration of the album with finished recorded tracks, with some eventually getting replaced. A better title would maybe have been " Parade; The Original Tracklist", or something. But hey, this is no compliant, just an observation
