Tracklists of Albums throughout their development, Version 1, 2 etc.

Are there lists of albums varying track lists throughout their creation. I have tried to listen to as many different songs and versions of songs as I have been able to come across for as long as I have had the ability to do so and I'm finally starting to put timing into play as to when he created the song I'm listening to. For example, I just found out about an unreleased song that was recorded during (Parade) recording sessions.

Also , I would like to be able to see a list of every song he created in chronological order and I didn't think I could on the list page.

I love this site, I have read its pages for several years now as my love for Prince's life has grown.

I have gotten to that point that I wish I could sit in the vault and listen to every single recording or snippets of them to pick out my favorites.

Thanks community!

Of course, we don't know every song he created, but you can make a chronological list of known songs from PrinceVault's A-Z Song List - https://www.princevault.c..._song_list

After copying and pasting it into a spreadsheet, just sort it by recording or release date. In Excel, you need to delete some blank rows first, and tidy it up a tiny bit at the end, but it's not difficult.

I wish the list specified precise recording dates, though. I wonder whether someone has already taken the time to do that. It's always interesting to see what was recorded on the same day or week.

Good question and a great topic for you to delve in with, but I'm afraid the answer his huge!

With more unreleased songs than released ones, patching together all connotations is pretty much impossible. Have a wonder around the princevault.com website and and start to soak some of it up.

Which Parade era song did you find out about?
