UPDATED 23-24 January 2024: I made a Mid-January 1992 Willing And Able single entry with the two versions moved to there from the January-March 1992 O(+> album entry. The Flow #3 was also moved to there from 4 January 1992 as it might possibly have been intended as a B-Side. AND... In The Middle Of The Night and There were moved from the 1992 entry to the January-March 1992 O(+> album entry as they were obviously intended for the rock opera.
SvarSletUPDATED 8 May 2024: Two piano instrumentals recorded in Tokyo in early September 1990 were added.
SvarSletUPDATED 13-14 May 2024: A Paradigm #1 was tentatively added to the early 1991 George Clinton entry thanks to PrinceVault. And a In The Middle Of The Night #1 was added in the January-March 1992 entry with the short version (now #2) getting it's own The Paisley Park Sampler entry in mid-1992 thanks to Neversin. Also, I deleted two of the autumn 1992 Remixes of Everybody Get On Up for having no involvement by Prince. Instead, I added the segues from Carmen's album to the 1992 entry which I had previously forgotten.
SvarSletUPDATED 29 May 2024: The Dance #2 was moved from May 1991 to December 1991 thanks to a description by Neversin.
