Prince Parade Soundtrack CD

List All Reviews

 a lot of good music in here...
"Parade" is probably the most "band-produced" album from the Revolution period. From listening to later output from both Prince and Wendy & Lisa (sometimes with Bobby Z.) it becomes clear that this album owes as much to the members of the band as it does to Prince himself. And this is no bad thing! The music boasts a kind of subtlety and playfulness that marks the best of the Revolution output. I'd definitely put this alongside "Sign O' The Times" and "Purplr Rain" in the top 80s Prince albums. Also worth checking out is Wendy & Lisa's "Eroica".

 Such Music is More Than Just the Late 80's
This is a Prince Master Piece that it under rated and one of his "best of's" most ignored. I haven't heard it since I've last seen it in 1987.

 Brings back fond memories!
Although this album never did much on the charts, the memories it brings with it are priceless. Both "Mountains" and "Anotherloverholenyohead" were being played on the great R & B stations in New York "back in the day" in the summer of '86 when times were simpler and it was a big experience to take a girl and some of your best friends out on the town for a cruise or just to hang out. "Kiss" needs no hype, it's a classic to this day. "Girls and Boys" is one song we used to crank up nice and loud in the car. The rest of the album is just so-so, like any other Prince album.
