Prince/Classic Rehearsals 1983-1990

Prince’s rehearsal recordings from his time with Warner Music remain in great volume, and they’re endlessly fascinating, as they explore many more ideas than he ever performed live. And because he was a perfectionist, there were hardly any dull performances. Cosmic Records has compiled a rehearsal album from a unique perspective, rather than a live album! The album includes The Question Of U at Paisley Park before the Nude Tour, Dance On from a rehearsal in Osaka for the Lovesexy Tour (Bonnie Boyer says, clap your hands, everyone!), Nothing Compares 2 U at Paisley Park before the Nude Tour, Strange Relationship and It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night from a rehearsal for Sign O The Times at Paisley Park, Controversy/Mutiny at Washington Avenue, Love Or Money/Let’s Pretend We’re Married at Paisley Park, Superfunkycalifragisexy recorded during the Sign O The Times period at Paisley Park, the mysterious performance of Sleazy, and Head/Lady Cab Driver from the 1999 tour. The album’s gradual, funky development is captivating, and includes rare rehearsals that focus on the connections between the songs. Listening to it like this, the absence of cheering sounds like a studio album, further enhancing the brilliance of Prince’s performance! A wonderful new discovery! 1.The Question Of U/Electric Man 2.Dance On(Instrumental)/Sheila E Drum Solo 3.Nothing Compares 2 U 4.Strange Relationship 5.It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night 6.Controversy/Mutiny 7.Love Or Money/Let`s Pretend We’re Married 8.Superfunkycalifragisexy 9.Sleazy 10.Head/Lady Cab Driver
