I'm not sure about the European discs but, the US promotional copies of Lovesexy are tracked. Of course, they are very rare now.

I should've commented ages ago, but I suck. So much to say about this era of Prince, which is my favorite. Instead, I will simply share a photo of a wall in my house that is a conversation piece, particularly whenever a band crashes here:

Mine or very unorganized, but if there any songs you know by name you're
missing, let me know. I'd be happy to email them.

Thanks.

B-sides disc coming up in part 2 next Tuesday. I'm still missing some things from him – even with 1,044 unique non-live tracks on my iPod I know at least a few dozen known bootlegs that I've never heard. Always looking though.

Great job on this. Although I own possilbly everything Prince recorded, I always like the thoughtful album-by-album breakdown. When it's an artist I'm only casually familiar with, I download all the tracks and have found some real keepers.

The one thing I would have added to this time period was his b-sides. No artist has done more with this than Prince and his best ones came from this early era. 'Irristable Bitch”, “Erotic City” “17 days” “She's Always In My Hair” and others would have been killer tracks for any other artist.

Fantastic job, Dave – a Popdose guide (!) on one of my favorite artists (!). It was good to get some insight to his output before “1999″ (the album when I really started paying attention to him). “Sign” is still my favorite album of his, followed closely by one that you'll be covering next week.

I agree on the stumping nature of “Parade”, but I absolutely love both “Mountains” and “Anotherlover…” (two of my first iTunes purchases). And, I'm one of those folks who really digs the “Batman” album too, pretty much start to finish (especially “Vicki Waiting”).

And, I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I've just never liked the song “Purple Rain”. I can certainly appreciate why most everyone else does, but for me, it's one of those songs that rubbed me the wrong way when I first heard it and it never recovered. I can tolerate the extended jam in the latter part of the song, but I can't change the channel fast enough if it's the first part (w/vocals).

Again, love this…already looking forward to next week.
