Prince sheet music books

What sheet music releases has Prince had? On Ebay, I've seen songbooks for Purple Rain, Around The World In A Day, Parade, Come, Diamonds and Pearls, The Hits 1/2, and a "The Best of Prince" compilation. Are there any others? Surely "1999" was a songbook?

Never been able to find 1999. There are ones for SOTT, Lovesexy, and prince as well. Not sure about any others.

I own the "Parade" sheet music book. And I know about a one-song-book for "If I Was Your Girlfriend".

Has this stuff gone out of print. I have only been able to buy The Hits 1/2.
In a couple of hundred years historians may discover that Prince's lyrics were written by Christopher Marlowe.

There once was a Purple Rain "Off the REcord" which had exact transcriptions.. not just piano arrangement. I wish I bought it then.

I can't find it anywhere now.

Be careful, some of them are not accurate (wrong chords or tabs), especially the Purple Rain Off the Record.

Really? Off the record had mistakes? That kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it.


I' still like it though. Do you have one you are willing to sell?

Sorry GarMF, but I'll keep my copy, even if the Purple Rain and darling Nikki guitar solos are wrong.
