The 1986 Box Set: A Year in the LIfe

Parade was a disaster. The temptation is to go right back into the studio and make a killer album, 
but I think half the problem with Parade was that I recorded it too soon after Around The World, 
and I just didn’t have enough good material ready.  I’m not gonna make that mistake again.”

Prince, according to A Documentary by Per Nilsen p.68

Prince:  The “1986” Box Set
(December 1985-January 1987)
A Year in the Life

The period from the end of 1985 to early 1987 (“1986”) was one of Prince’s most prolific periods for 
recording and performing music.
"The 1986 Box Set: A Year In The Life" is a summary of the year, which saw Prince tour the Parade 
album while recording music that became 1987's Sign O' The Times.
