Albert Magnoli still saying Prince wrote 100 songs for Purple Rain There was a Purple Rain screening the other night & Albert Mangnoli Still claims Prince wrote 100 songs for the movie. He has said this over & over again.. If this is true, I want that released right away. That would be the holy grail of A Prince release. he was at the height of his musical powers. Do people here think this is really true or not? BOB4theFUNK | |

If he really was as 'prolific' as a lot of people have said, I could easily see him pumping out a song every day or two during production of the movie. It is possible under those circumstances. Remember, he was writing for The Time, Apollonia 6 (Vanity 6), and the Revolution AT THE SAME TIME. Yeah, he probably did. Welcome home class. We've come a long way. - RIP Prince | |

He wrote them during the time they were filming or just before. Meaning, he was always writing, so i can't see him writing just for the film. I think some songs just fit the mold of what they were doing. Does The Vault or DMSR cover that many tunes in 1982 and 1983? I've not dug my out lately to see. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. | |

Still claims Prince wrote 100 songs for the movie. He has said this over & over again.. If this is true, I want that released right away. That would be the holy grail of A Prince release. he was at the height of his musical powers. Do people here think this is really true or not? I saw him say it years ago in an interview and it seemed truthful to me. But as someone else said here, I believe he had most of them written already. [Edited 8/30/16 18:40pm] | |

He also said that he has cassettes of the songs last night.
And the 100 songs previewed were not specific to the movie plot which is why they were not used.
He said that many times they would tell Prince what type of song was needed for certain scenes and a day later he would call and say "here it is"
Apollonia said she too has a cassette of unreleased music | |

. He also claims that 90 of them are unreleased, despite saying earlier that HE ONLY LISTENED TO TWENTY OR SO. © Bart Van Hemelen

. Sigh... Gotta love people just posting without looking at the facts. . FACT: Magnoli claims this happened before the August 3 concert. . FACT: There isn't a single studio recording known of a PR track prior to the August 3 concert. Well, except for a barely recognisable demo of Baby I'm A Star. . FACT: Prince did not have 100 outtakes at that time. (Wanna claim he did? Fine, look through The Vault etc. and present a list.) © Bart Van Hemelen

. Which he claims are in storage. You'd think that he would have made a list of those 100 songs ages ago, but apparently not a single journalist ever challenged this ridiculous claim of his. .
. And the ones he chose were? .
. Yet another contradiction of his own story! © Bart Van Hemelen

. This is disputed by Alan Leeds, and looking at what is usually present on other artists' deluxe editions I'd also guess that works made while under contract with WBR would be subject to their approval. Prince did a lot of shady stuff in 1998-2001 WRT some Warner-era material and stopped doing that suddenly, suggesting that at a certain point Warners were getting fed up with him and told him to cease releasing material they owned. . And sorry, but a remix doesn't make a song suddenly brand-new. Matter of fact, artists are even restricted from re-recording their own songs for X years after a contract ends to avoid situations where they'd release a "greatest hits" with re-recordings that would devalue the material owned by their previous record company. © Bart Van Hemelen

I tend to think it's a bit of an exaggeration but I wouldn't dismiss it outright. Springsteen allegedly recorded somewhere in the region of 80 songs for Born In The USA...so I'd use that as context to at least allow for the possibility the claim is true. | |

Why the hell would you even come to me (us) with that kind of response? Welcome home class. We've come a long way. - RIP Prince | |

This is old news? Magnoli has said this previously. I believe in one of the Prince documentaries and IIRC it's mentioned in "Possessed". | |

He said he still has the physical cassette tapes, so that's what it is. | |

100 songs is just like saying "a ton of songs" - He had a big stock of unreleased songs by that point already and was recording a lot by 1982/3, for his own projects and others. It's not a comment I take literally, end of story as far as I'm concerned. | |

100 songs on the top the of 300+ songs Shela E mentioned they did together in a recent interview. The dude just never stopped. "You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013 | |

I wonder if there's an alternate track to Purple Rain just in case Journey decided it was too similiar to "Faithfully". My guess is yes.

. Yet nobody's ever managed to compile such a list. Those early years are well-documented, so why don't people stop talkign about hypotheticals and look at the evidence? © Bart Van Hemelen

. He's repeatedly said this number, and now he has added that they listened to 20, and that 90 of those 100 are still unreleased. © Bart Van Hemelen

It's probably a figure of speech, The Colors R brighter, the Bond is much tighter

Bart I have always respected your opinions on here. You always seem to know exactly what your are talking about. You know your prince stuff!!!
With that said....What do you think is Prince's best unreleased stuff? And what is your favorite Prince Era? | |
