If SOTT was only one disc?

Recurrent Émancipation thread reversed :
.
Imagine you are an WB executive and you are now telling Prince, after having reduced Crystal Ball to the two discs SOTT, that he must reduce it to ONLY ONE disc.
You can only chose 8 (eight)songs from the original 2-discs album, ( no Crystal Ball or Dream Factory BS please).
But you can name the album otherwise.
.
Good luck
.
Mine :

SOTT
Housequake
Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Starfish and coffee
I could never take the place of your Man
U Got The Look
The Cross
Adore

My sister bought the "Sign O' The Times" DVD Movie Concert for me. When she visits me, she will bring me the DVD. I like all the tracks from the album, so I will definitely enjoy viewing the movie!! ⭐✨⭐😉

Interesting exercise. I'm not going to go with my favorite 8 entirely, but rather the 8 songs I think would make for the most interesting album, with a clear tendency toward my favorites, of course.

"Sign o' the Times"
"Housequake"
"The Ballad of Dorothy Parker"
"Starfish and Coffee"
"Forever in My Life"
"Strange Relationship"
"I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man"
"The Cross"

50 minutes is impossible on vinyl. Moreover you could only chose 8 songs, not 12 !

50 mins can easily fit on one disc
Many 90s albums were well over 45 mins but were pressed on one record
Anyway as it's a mere 8 songs (why??), I'll do it like this

Play...
Dorothy parker
Starfish
Hot thing
Slow love
Forever in my life
Never take the place...
Beautiful night

That s why SOTT is a double album

Dude I bought a lot of rap albums in the 90s when rappers were making 70 min long albums. De la souls first album was pressed on only one record!
