PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION - PARADE (LP) 0 7599-25395-1

"Parade" was an interesting release with all of it's firsts and lasts.  It was the first soundtrack album on the Paisley Park label.  It was the last album Prince recorded with the Revolution.  It's the second Prince record on the label and the first actually recorded at Paisley Park.

It was released March 31, 1986.  It contained music from the motion picture, "Under The Cherry Moon".  It also represented a huge shift in style for Prince.  But that's not the point of this entry.

The LP appeared as a gatefold.  The record itself was radically different from "Around The World In A Day".  The A-side label was white with a gray watermark Paisley Park logo filling up almost the entire label space.  The B-side label was the same except it was black with the gray watermark.  Almost all of the artwork on the US releases associated with this album are black and white coloring.  There are some slight variation.  Mostly in the colors of fonts.  On the front label, the song titles are written in red while album info is written in black, on the back the song titles are written in white and the album info appears in red.  The album speed is 33 1/3.
