These songs r registered with the copyright office. Does anyone know if all these songs have been released or could some of these song titles be some of the songs in his vault ? Here's the list. http://cocatalog.loc.gov/...?V9914D228 [Edited 7/25/16 5:48am]

I don't know that all of these have been officially (or unofficially) released, but this isn't his entire catalog. At first glance, there are songs missing. "Cause and Effect", "Free Urself", "Indifference" are just three I noticed aren't on there.

This would take you doing some simple math on your own, ya know. If he averaged 12 songs per album, that 80 albums to equal 960 songs. He was only at half that when he died. Of course, you can calculate on the internet only stuff, and songs he gave to other artists, but you're still not near that 960 mark. I don't even know if there are 960 songs in bootlegs that are circulating.

It's not hard to figure out how many songs he's released, really. A bit of effort, and you could have a pretty good rough number. As someone else noted, there are songs not listed, so it's not even a complete list of his recordings. It's simply what he decided to register a copyright on. I would imagine the estate is going to have a heck of a time registering new stuff as new albums come out with songs that have no been registered yet.

Benni & Trivialpursuit u both seem very knowledgeable of everything he's done maybe u could list the song titles that r registered but have not been released yet that would b very helpful thanks 😀

Trust me, I'm not knowledgeable about everything he's done. As I said, just at first glance, I noticed those three songs weren't listed. Mainly because I've been listening to those songs a lot recently.

Looking forward to the Post Pix of What Prince Was Wearing While Copyrighting 960 Songs thread. And, of course, the 960 Songs?! Someone Make Me a Mix thread.

Moreso the former.

Nope You can do that.

several of these are duplicates. She's Soft and Wet is the same song as Soft And Wet. She's a Peach is the same as Peach.

The list I was keeping of titles is over 1250 songs. This is just what was registered, but even these are questionable. I doubt there was a song called 'sheet music'. lol

Are titles sent for copyright with the song itself is my question

Here's a list of 393 unreleased songs written by Prince:

At 12 songs per album, that's almost 33 albums' worth of material. FYI, princevault.com is probably the definitive source for all information of this kind.

Believe it or not, MC Hammer's album was recorded at Paisley Park! so although not directly involved, Prince gave his blessing to the project and fully endorsed the samples used.

Based on the fact that "Pray" appears in this list, "She's Soft and Wet" is also by MC Hammer - it's on the same album as "Pray", and is built on samples from "Soft and Wet".

Great point. I didn't even notice that. So this is far from comprehensive.
