Prince and the Parade and Sign O’ The Times Era Studio Sessions. 1985 and 1986
Duane Tudahl
Out now: from Duane Tudahl, friend of the site and author of the excellent Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983 and 1984, Prince and the Parade and Sign O’ The Times Era Studio Sessions. 1985 and 1986.
This is an entirely new publication, following the same format as his previous book. This ones deals with 1985 and 1986, some of the most prolific years of Prince’s entire career. This new book, has even more sessions described in detail than the previous one, and spans over 700 pages. For nearly every song recorded in 1985 and 1986, Tudahl has uncovered more detailed information than previously known and, again, presents it in a fresh and exciting narrative that takes the reader into the studio with Prince, revealing the creative process, providing a look behind the curtain and revealing the brilliance of Prince’s work.
We are very pleased that Duane has once again graciously allowed us to update pages on PrinceVault with the new information from the Parade and Sign O’ The Times Era Studio Sessions book. Unfortunately there are some techincal difficulties wirty the site that prevents us from editing some pages. We’re looking into solving this, but for the time being no pages are being updated yet.
Princevault.com provides the specifications, the book provides the story. If you liked the previous book, you will definitely not be disappointed with this one. You can order it here or from the bookstore of your preference.
