UPDATED 12 October 2023: Something In The Water #1 was deleted from April 1982 as it was fanmade. The version with the fade-in that was released on the 1999 Deluxe edition is the genuine one and is now #1. Thanks to Atomic_Monkey and TheSilentMikey.
SvarSletUPDATED 30 October 2023: The track Blue was added to the July/August 1982 home studio recordings entry. It's possibly the Blue Diamonds & Sunday Pearls track mentioned by Duane Tudahl in the D&P Deluxe booklet. Thanks to TheSilentMikey.
SvarSletUPDATED 5 February 2024: A Sometimes It Snows In April #1 was added in the 1979/1980 entry.
SvarSletUPDATED 2-3 April 2024: An alternate version of I Wanna Be Your Lover was inserted in the April 1979 entry. A Jack U Off demo was tentatively added in June 1981.
SvarSletUPDATED 21 June 2024: Fat Jazz was added to the 1977 jams with Bobby and André at Loring Park. Also, the summer 1981 entry is now a Jamie Starr entry with Friction being recorded for a Jamie Starr album.
SvarSletUPDATED 18 March 2025: In the 28 December 1976 - 1 January 1977 Sound 80 entry, the order of the three versions of Just As Long As We're Together was corrected thanks to 2KBoy who convincingly argued that the now #1 is rawer than the now #2 of which the now #3 is an edit that was included on the demo tape for WB.
SvarSletUPDATED 23 April 2025: The original bootleg version of Feel U Up was re-instated as #1 in the autumn-winter 1981 entry as it has different sounding drum beat from the now #2 version released on the 1999 SDE - and the now #2 may even be a Frankenstein Mix, who knows. AND, of course, the numbering of all subsequent versions of Feel U Up was corrected. Thanks to 2KBoy.
SvarSletUPDATED 26 April 2025: The versions of Feel U Up, Irresistible Bitch and Purple Music released on the 1999 SDE were moved to the Frankenstein mixes chapter. Thanks to TheSilentMikey. And, of course, this affected the numbering of the versions remaining in the Chronological Prince Recordings lists.
SvarSletUPDATED 27 April 2025: The released version of No Call U on 1999 SDE was moved to the Frankenstein mixes chapter, making the Jill Jones version in July 1985 #2. Thanks to TheSilentMikey.
SvarSletUPDATED 27 April 2025: The release info for Money Don't Grow On Trees, Vagina, Rearrange, International Lover (Take 1), How Come U Don't Call My Anymore? (Take 2), Yah, U Know #1 and Teacher, Teacher #1 has been moved to the 1999 SDE entry in the Frankenstein mixes chapter. Thanks to TheSilentMikey.
