TGE!

I was about to say Dirty Mind, but I'm gonna go For You.

I've dreamed of a For You deluxe for a while now. It's a wonderful, sweet little album and I bet there's a trove of his early career stuff we haven't heard yet on top of the great boots that are already out there.

the gold experience would be a good choice, plenty of good stuff that we know about already and quite a few tracks like Laurianne that we know almost nothing about

My vote is DIRTY MIND.

Prince's first un-argueable classic album.

The balls he had...to go from a SEE, I CAN WRITE POP HITS immediately to leapard bikini punk funk and songs about sisters and getting blowjobs...

Added bonus too... There is VERY LITTLE we know about the music he wrote and recorded in late in late 1979 - 1980... There might be a treasure trove of funk...

Well Parade first, it's been delayed enough times! But then Around The World In A Day, hopefully including Prince's versions of The Family tracks, and maybe A Love Bizarre too.

I want to see Camille as a stand-alone release.

Dirty Mind, Around the World and Parade HAVE TO receive the deluxe treatment.

I'd buy them all but in terms of what would excite me definitely "Dirty Mind" and "Controversy" top the list. Also I'd look forward to "LoveSymbol" and "The Gold Experience" because that was the time I got into Prince in the first place. I'd also love "Come" deluxe but that won't happen in my lifetime lol

The Gold Experience would be a dream for me, with those live shows, and some brilliant music he made around that time. I think the Parade album superdeluxe wont be on the radar after alot of the Sign of the Times vault tracks seem to come from the same era.

Absolutely TGE with all related tracks and outtakes. I'd combine Come with that release.

There are loads of out-takes still remaining from the Parade area, and that's just the ones we know about.

Obviously I'm just mimicking what others have already said, but a '90s release for sure... Love Symbol, Come or TGE. I'm not obsessed enough with any of the other '80s albums to be that desperate for an expanded deluxe edition of any of them (I'd rather the focus be on reissuing albums that are hard and expensive to get in *any* track listing on vinyl), but I can understand why others (especially those who have been fans for decades, unlike me) would feel differently.

Dirty Mind....it's such an important album in his career.....truly bold and edgy.

Parade. I really want to hear a full great sounding Heaven.

for me it's going to be Parade, also. the whole 85/87 period is just so magical and beautiful.

i want every single bit of music i can possibly get from that period

MADHOUSE SUPER DELUXE!!!
Vanity 6 Super Deluxe!!!
The Time Super Deluxe!!!
Jill Jones Super Deluxe!!!

:swoon:

Tough question. Right now the material I would be most grateful to hear (from the choices listed) would be…

* Out-takes recorded between SOTT and Lovesexy
* Songs that were intended for Rave ‘89
* Song recorded for Anna Fantastic
* The Grand Progression

As such I think ‘Lovesexy’, ‘Batman’ and ‘Graffiti Bridge’ will all have something to offer me.

That being said, given the choice of any of Prince’s albums I still would choose ‘SOTT’ first, followed by ‘Parade’. As such I’m extremely glad that these are the next intended releases.

Lovesexy or Parade
