"At the end of 1986 there were definitely two albums in the can that never saw the light of day. It's stuff that was recorded with the group and co-written with the group, just a continuation of what we were doing after the Parade album and before Prince made the decision to disband the group at that point." Fink adds that the Revolution members have made "an open offer to Prince's family to put those out as soon as possible."

Most of us know about Roadhouse Garden's existence. What might the other one be?

I wish!

1 of these is a follow up album to "1999" afaik?

Going to be a while before anything is released. Even if there were previous agreements for new material (not re-released), whoever is in charge is going to have to look at those contracts -- something which Prince might not have signed based on recent agreements (handshakes, no contracts).

Same as when he left WB, I don't care about the details -- I just want the music.

wow big news - i would love for the Doctor to provide some detail as to what the tracks were exactly. It will be interesting to see how P's family responds....if at all....

Those albums woud be awesome

I wonder if we're gonna start seeing more Prince protégés coming forward,requesting that unreleased albums be released.

I was thinking that too

It would be nice to hear finished vault music. Even if there are unfinished works, perhaps someone can finish and release them. I can't wait!!!!!!

Does anyone know what songs would most likely be on 'Roadhouse Garden'? Obviously the title track (lol) but what else?

For reference only:

Do these albums include Prince himself? or is it just the Revolution singing?

I thought 'Our Destiny' would be part of the same album...

According to sources (see article and messages above), it should be everything you'd expect from a Prince and the Revolution album -- that is, Prince and the Revolution doing their thing.

Lead P vocals in most cases - some tracks have the girls on lead. E.g Our Destiny - a version exists with Lisa on lead vocal, and another with P on lead vocal

More than anything, I want demos and rehearsals. Could give two shits about normal concerts. Aftershows -- give us those -- soundboard audio and videos.

Imagine if there are demos of Prince singing lead (hopefully not in his wack Morris Day impersionation) on demos for The Time. Or Prince on lead for "The Glamorous Life." I don't need remasters of that. Just release as is.

Longtime fans want something different. They do not want all 25 remixes of "The Continental." They do not want Carmen's demos. How about the tracks that Bonnie Raitt supposedly did? Are they terrible like a lot of non-Prince tracks were from that time period?

The reason none of us will ever hear anything in the vault is because something always catches our fancy and we listen to that one thing to death. That and (assuming he didn't destroy anything) there should be thousands of hours of material in there. If those in charge do things right, they'll make more money than Prince ever saw in his lifetime. I'm guessing it will be a clusterfuck though and those of us that have been fans since the 80s won't see anything until we are seniors or on our death bed.

I just want my headstone to have a solar panel, and wifi. Put a speaker in my coffin so I can continue hearing all of the stuff Prince kept from us over the years for whatever reason. Will the estate/trust continue that and just make much money off of licensing the rights to his music -- or will they be greedy as hell and release everything. I'm hoping for the latter.

I just found out about this before I went to see Bonnie in concert last month. I never knew she had a Prince connection beyond his recording of If I Can't Make You Love Me. If there is the album left that they recorded together, I would love to hear it, good or bad. I want to hear what Prince did for all these years, by himself and with other artists that I don't know about. By the way, Bonnie Raitt did three tribute songs dedicated to Prince during her concert, which was shortly after Prince passed on. Thank you, Bonnie.

It's stuff that was recorded with the group and co-written with the group, just a continuation of what we were doing......

We? co-written by the group? Hmmmmm. Sounds like the sound of a thousand lawsuits.
