Even Parade, the 1986 soundtrack to the under-appreciated film, Under the Cherry Moon, was widely considered at the time to be a big improvement on its predecessor. When most people debate “the greatest Prince album of all time," Around the World in a Day usually cedes the floor to Purple Rain (1984), Sign ‘O’ the Times (1987), or 1999 (1982). The original came out a mere 10 months after Purple Rain the album, remixes and B-sides that rained down upon fans in the summer of 1985 combined to form one of Prince’s greatest artistic triumphs. It makes perfect sense that Around the World in a Day would be next up for wide re-release. But even once those oft-bootlegged treasures, along with vault gems most collectors don’t know about, make it to retail, there are still countless songs from Prince to fill multi-disc deluxe expanded editions of every Prince album from For You to Emancipation. With any luck, the powers that be will eventually release the Dream Factory and Prince's originally conceived Crystal Ball, including many tracks that wound up on other albums with different mixes or versions.
