if you could choose one unreleased recording from the Vault, either video or audio, what would it be?

From the sample some people have heard it sounds a lot like Cosmic Day and is sightly faster than the released version.
I realy want this too but my choice is The Divine just because of the hype.

My first concert: Paris 25/8/86. Part of a potential Parade SDE?

this should be a seperate Live album release, like he says in the show 'This is a record' during Pop Life I think . This is really one of best shows of the tour I think.

The Grand Progression

Good question. Now that I've finally got an officially released version of "In A Large Room With No Light", my mania for unreleased songs has cooled. At this point, I'm just happy with whatever the next SDE will contain. (If we ever get any more SDEs...)

.

I suppose I'd love to hear any "sketches" of "Alphabet St.". I know he recorded the "Lovesexy" album in a very short amount of time, but there *have* to be some demos out there, right?

.

Oh, and I'd love to hear any versions of "Vicki Waiting" he created, especially that instrumental version that plays during the fund raiser party in "Batman".

Raspberry Beret demo Make U Mine original Promise To Be True original Mia Bocca complete Evolsidog Any iterations on Joy in Repetition, Sign O the Times, Strange Relationship, Cream, 7, Blue Light, Future Soul Song, Come, Lovesexy, 3121, Musicology.

we thinking the same

p's original tracking of mia bocca w/ his vox is an underrated holy grail as it's one of the greatest pop songs he ever wrote.

while we're at it, throw his original Boom Boom in there. so many 1982 tracks completely ignored on the SDE. fuckin sucks.

"When Doves Cry", all iterations including full base, full production before he stripped it all out.

Purple Rain 1/1/85. Dallas show. My first Prince concert and my best friend that attended with me passed away unexpectedly. We had this show that we often spoke of.

Any 1988 aftershow video.

Any lost tapes from the 1999: The New Master session, especially any featuring Rosie and Doug.

Lovesexy Show in Los Angeles, the one I attended.

Don't know because I've not heard them all!

Of the ones I've heard, I really want to hear more of Evolsidog.

That song that he said was too good for the public to hear yet, a ballad I think, in an interview With a journalist in the back of his car! In the late 90s?

That was The Divine.
He tried to place it on different albums and I think it was about Emancipation in that interview but he tld the intervioewer that he would drop it from there because it was too ahead of its time and/or too good for the people to here yet. That's why I really would like to hear that one.

I'm dying to hear Evolsidog in full since hearing the snippet.

I'd also really like to see some rehearsal recordings released officially (video ideally). The footage used in the NC2U video raised my hopes, but I’m not holding my breath.
