Prince and the Parade and Sign O' the Times Era Studio Sessions

1985 and 1986

By: Duane Tudahl, Sir Elton John - foreword

Narrated by: Ron Butler

From Prince's superstardom to studio seclusion, this second book in the award-winning Prince Studio Sessions series spotlights how Prince, the biggest rock star on the planet at the time, risked everything to create some of the most introspective music of his four-decade career.

Duane Tudahl takes us on an emotional and intimate journey of love, loss, rivalry, and renewal revealed through unprecedented access to dozens of musicians, singers, studio engineers, and others who worked with him and knew him best - with never-before-published memories from the Revolution, the Time, the Family, and Apollonia 6. Also included is a heartfelt foreword by musical legend Elton John about his time and friendship with Prince.

Ron Butler reads Prince history like a dream again

Excellent 2nd book on Prince by Duane Tudahl and masterfully again narrated by Ron Butler. May more volumes continue.

Great stories behind the music

This is possibly the closest we get to Susan Rogers writing her own book. She had a front row seat to his genius, I keep hoping she would write a book.
Here she gives many stories within the studio of what was happening around the creation of many songs.
I’m only left to wonder once Paisley Park opened if records were kept as was the case with Sunset Sound to produce another book within this series.

Informative and Interesting.

I loved this book. So fun to follow his early career , and to play songs that are documented along the way after hearing a bit of history of each one. Not to mention the memories it brought back to me as I was living in this time . I even learned a little about what it takes to produce a record . Prince was an amazing, one of a kind genius. I’m still listening to his music.
