Prince And The Revolution Parade Rar

• Prince And The Revolution Songs

Prince & the Revolution shift musical moods and textures from song to song - witness how the fluttering psychedelia of 'Christopher Tracy's Parade' gives way to the spare, jazzy funk of 'New Position,' which morphs into the druggy 'I Wonder U' - and they're determined not to play it safe, even on the hard funk of 'Girls and Boys' and 'Mountains,' as well as the stunning 'Kiss,' which hits.

Prince And The Revolution ?– Charade

Label: Planet Rock Records Paris ?– PR2

Format: Vinyl, LP, Limited Edition, Unofficial Release

Country: France

Released: 1987

Vinyl in very good condition. Some wear on sleeve as shown.

I've researched this bootleg a lot and struggled to find one exactly the same. The novelty is the track listings on the record itself which are very different to the track listings on the sleeve (although the same songs).

Sleeve states: 'All songs written, performed and produced by Prince and the Revolution. Recorded at Paisley Park and Sunset Sound except Heaven which was recorded in France in the summer of '84. All tracks previously unavailable in these versions. Charade is released to celebrate the 'Parade' tour of 1986. A dream factory presentation for fan club use only. Copyright Planet Rock Records Paris 1987. All rights reserved. PR2'

Note that the song titles listed on the album don't match those on the record. The listing below is from the record.

Side 1

1) Parade Wendy's little girl

2) Try a new position

3) Wonderful

4) Can I taste your ..moon

5) Careful what you say

6) Slice of life

7) Aires in the snow

8) New pals at a bargain

Office 2011 mac key generator download. Side 2

9) Strawberry creams

10) Men & women

11) Hate the poor

12) Hell

And the listing on the sleeve is:

A1 Little Girl Wendy´s Parade

A2 New Position

A3 I Wonder U

A4 Under The Cherry Moon

A5 There´s Others Here With Us

A6 Life Can Be So Nice

A7 Sometimes It Snows In April

A8 Old Friends For Sale

B1 In All My Dreams

B2 Girls & Boys

B3 Love Or Money

B4 Heaven

Sleeve also notes:

different version: A1, A2, A4, A6, A7, B2 and B3

previously unavailable: A3, A5, A8, B1 and B4

It's certainly Prince singing. And on the first track he does sing, 'Little girl Wendy's parade' rather than, ' Christopher Tracy's parade'.

Feel free to ask questions but I don't know much more..

What better time for a new baptism?

Parade is Prince's third and final album co-credited to the Revolution. It was seen as a considerable improvement on Prince's previous album Around The World In A Day, helped greatly by the inclusion of its highly recognisable lead single Kiss.

The accessibility of Parade put to rest the fears that, after Purple Rain its succeeding album Around The World In A Day, suggested Prince had lost his magic touch and herald his downward spiral. Parade restored Prince's commercial appeal, as despite Around The World In A Day selling well this was largely due to it riding in Purple Rain‘s wake and left the buying public largely disappointed. Being more mainstream, Parade sold 1.8 million units in the US (peaking there at number 4 in Billboard's charts) and 1.4 million elsewhere. It is certified Platinum by RIAA.

The album forms the soundtrack for Prince's second movie, Under The Cherry Moon which was released three months after the album. Its songs follow the story of its lead character Christopher Tracy, played by Prince in the film.

An orchestra of 67 perform in the opening track. The lead single Kiss won a Grammy in 1986 for best R&B Vocal Performance, a song Prince originally intended to give to former bandmate Brown Mark for his solo album Mazarati. Despite its success, Prince was never entirely happy with the album version of Kiss, nor much of Parade, which he later admitted it lacked inspiration and considered the whole project had been rushed – NME, however, named it their best album of 1986.

Cover story

Parade ended up with two possible covers shortlisted. Both equally good, one was printed each side of the LP's gatefold. When designing the album's artwork, Laura LiPuma suggested to use an alternative shot from Jeff Katz's photo session of Prince for the cover picture. The one chosen was Prince holding up his hands, but LiPuma's preference was one with Prince pulling up his top, and so came up with the idea to flip the images and join the two together – meeting them at Prince's belly, positioned at the point of the fold. With the cover open, the two photos make one seamless picture.

Parade – review

Parade marks Prince's first foray into artful music. With fame and confidence heightened by the success of Purple Rain and if a little rattled by Around The World In A Day, Prince spreads the Revolution's wings for what was to be their third and final collaboration together. But here is an admission for you, I don't actually like Kiss and although it is the most well known track on the album it is, thankfully, not its best. Staying on subject, even Prince conceded he had not enough material to fill Parade – feeling that the project was rushed, under prepared and lacking clout. If there was ever a candidate for re-recording a Prince would love to get his teeth into Parade once more. But don't think Parade is a lesser album for quality. It was his best production up to that date and kicks off with the sweeping overture Christopher Tracy's Parade then sliding effortlessly into New Position after which to slow down with the moody I Wonder U and Under The Cherry Moon. Parade is artful storytelling and picks up again to the point of masterful with the often overlooked Girls & Boys and Do U Lie? These lead us into some of the best tracks on the album: Life Can Be So Nice and the sweeping Mountains. But it is the longest title in history, Anotherloverholonyohead, that names the standout track on Parade, its chorus the best, and the best cure to writers block anyone can get.

Paradeis rated 4 out of 5 by Goldies Parade.
