Prince's peak years - Wendy and Lisa's Contributions So does anyone have knowledge of the total number of tracks that Wendy and Lisa contributed to Prince's recordings that never came out on the main 3 albums that were released? I think during their time it was Purple Rain thru the end of Parade...considered by most to be the peak of his prolific and most quality recording period. We know of the tracks on those albums...I believe its probably listed on the album credits but what about the non-released stuff that is circulating or maybe even some that isn't wide circulating but some collectors have and haven't released yet? Is there enough for a full cd or 2 that never came out or even more? I figure someone who ordered the vault book may have access to that info or something like it.
Does anyone know? Stuff i'm talking about that I think I know of that most know of is like maybe Train, All My Dreams, Teacher, Teacher...etc.
I know there has to be way more than that during those 3 years known and unknown. "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

U shall find detailed credits for both released and unreleased tracks on http://princevault.com/in.../Main_Page
The album credits were very vague concerning The Revolution's exact contributions. Later research by Per Nilsen and co. revealed who did what on what exactly. A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

I don't think anyone will really know, especially because we don't know the full back catalogue Also since Lisa was in the band since Dirty Mind we don't know her full contribution . but U can add songs like Roadhouse Garden, Our Destiny, In A Large Room With No Light . But this is a well of information I don't think anyone can really answer | |

Yeah I know, I think that came from serious hunger pains of wanting more... In the last few months I get the full version of Adonis & Bathsheba, the 6.7.1985 Masquerade ball, the 4 recordings from the Flesh and a few others I want more dammit!! | |

The '85 birthday show? With Drawers Burnin'? It's out on soundboard (I'm assuming since it appears to be new)? No fucking way! "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Thanks for that info. I'll definitely go check that out. It just seems with the amount of recording he was doing then and stuff we know that we have heard that didn't make it to record that there's at least one cd of stuff to find.

What about stuff like Witness for the prosecution, She wants a place in Heaven, Wonderful Ass, Last Heart...stuff like that? Think it was all cut from either Dream Factory or Crystall Ball? "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

It was always believed to be about Vanity (but I too thought it was a Dream Factory piece)

WOW...that so totally to me sounded like it was from the Dream Factory sessions. I guess he already sorta had that sound formed in his head earlier on. "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

I think my ears automatically heard it as a Dream Factory era sound because I was told it was from that period. When I listen to it again, the sounds are definately 1999-Purple Rain the guitar sounds, the cymbals, the synth touches but a touch of something different that stands out
But it was pulled back up again by Wendy & Lisa in 1986 so I guess both are right | |

Listening to the newer/longer version of Traffic Jam, i think it has overdubs by W&L, and i don't like it as much as the simpler Prince only version. same for some of the other re-worked versions by W&L. Too much clutter covering up the funk. | |

Gee why don't y'all people go to Princevault for those things? It is from both 1983 AND 1986, and both versions r circulating (the second being the deadliest if u ask me): http://www.princevault.co...derful_Ass A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

I did which is why I said it was pulled back up by Wendy & Lisa in 1986 PrinceVault does not acknowledge it's connected to Purple Rain | |

Like what other examples? And we don't know if W&L did any overdubs on Traffic Jam They did work on Old Friends 4 Sale & Strange Relationships too

It wasn't, it was just a song recorded during the same set of sessions but there's no indication that it was ever considered for the album, even in what Susan says. A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

But according to what Susan said 'that is an indication that it was...' | |

I don't think so, this is pure speculation. She was exposed to a lot of new material and expected her favorite tracks to be on the album the same way we been xposed to new songs in 2013 and expected some of them to be on AOA or Plec. The fact that you expected expected, IDK, Fallinlove2nite to be on AOA and that it comes from the same set of sessions doesn't mean it was ever considered for the album. Maybe it was but we don't know this. Every possible song from 1983 and early 1984 may have been considered for PR for all we know, but without any tangible factual indication that it was, I believe it's pointless to try and jump to conclusions or hint that it could have been the case.

you said there is no indication. Indication def a sign or piece of information that indicates something. She says:And he had songs that didn't make it on the album like "Wonderful Ass," that's an indication (smile) why call that one out specifically if she didn't know it was intended for the project? Now I don't believe there were 100 songs submitted... but if there were a lot of songs why not this one

We interpret the same quote differently. 2 u it implies it was considered for the album, to me it doesn't. I stand by my position but who knows u may be right, but this is not my understanding of the quote A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

Since it was supposed to be about Vanity, after she left, whatever ideals he had surround her and the music he might have pulled it. reading the original draft and their mind tripped relationship in it and those lyrics definately mesh. But we stand by our opinions and that is cool

Anyway it's the 86 version that kills. How THAT was not considered for release just beats the hell outta me A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

84 version is 10 minutes or so IIRC, the intro is very long and has been moved to the ending on the 86 version, which is really basically the same but a 6 minutes, shorter and more efficient edit IMHO. Sound quality of the 84 version is quite low, too, while Box Of Chocolate gave us the 86 version with perfect sound!
