We finish up our coverage of the Live at the Forum (April 28, 2011) concert from the Deluxe Welcome 2 America set. There’s a ton of Prince in this half (and thanks for your patience, fam!). Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
It’s so pretty! We look at the deluxe packaging for Welcome 2 America and check out the first half of the Live at the Forum (April 28, 2011) concert. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
It’s “new” here in 2021! Welcome 2 America is a FULL ALBUM that was (mostly) as Prince intended it to be released but shelved for a decade. Was Prince prophetic in the album being as salient in 2021 as in 2010, or have our concerns changed so little in over a decade?

This is another compilation of NPGMC tracks, but not an official one. Josh curated a selection of other tracks for us to check out from the club and this would have made a wonderful third compilation album. Check it, purple friends!

Another compilation of NPG Music Club tracks is up. The Slaughterhouse put together another set of tracks from the NPGMC - some as originally released, some remixed or alternate versions. Lots of fun, no matter how you look at it. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Were you a part of the NPG Music Club? No worries if you weren’t - The Chocolate Invasion is one of two compilations with most of the best bits. If you were, no worries there either - there are alternative versions of some of the original releases.

One of the first artists signed to Paisley Park Records was Taja Sevelle and we round out our Sign O’ The Times era coverage with her eponymous album. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Prince was a MACHINE and thrived off live performance. He often continued into the wee hours of the morning and June 15, 1987 at New Morning was a particularly wonderful and unusual show that we couldn’t wait to talk about.

Prince was so incredibly prolific that even the massive Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe couldn’t contain it all. We have another group of era outtakes from the late 80s. Love is expressed in all kinds of ways in these songs. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Prince was ALL over the Madhouse albums, and even more obviously - at least to us - on Madhouse 16. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Who loves leftovers? Dinner is already made AND it’s usually better the next day… Well, these outtakes that criminally didn’t make it onto SOTTSD are a delish treat, today on The Mountains and the Sea. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Prince didn’t always need his name attached to a project for it to be important. Madhouse was about the music - for love, for experimentation, for expression - just getting the music OUT was enough.

Prince held a benefit concert in Paisley Park on New Year’s Eve in 1987. What a fun way to ring in a new year as we finally come to the end of the disks included in Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe.

The hits the audience craved and the fantastic live arrangements that made concerts special as we visit the back half of the show in Utrecht from June 20, 1987. Nothing disappoints (which makes it challenging to pick a sea…) Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
Thanks for your patience! We survived the Texas Snovid 2021 and we are finally back in your feed with the live performance in Utrecht from June 20, 1987. Happy Purple Listening, Fam! Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]

Prince’s extended versions and B-sides are better than most people’s singles and album cuts. Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe Disk 3, this week on The Mountains and the Sea. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]

Sheila E was busy with her own album that released in 1987 - her third in the 80’s on Paisley Park Records - and it is worth a listen in the lead up to SOTTSD. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
We wrap up our Jill Jones coverage with primarily unreleased material and videos. There really should have been a second Jill Jones Paisley Park album. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
B-sides and unreleased material aren’t just the realm of Prince. Jill Jones has some (not too hard to find) extras that are WORTH a listen. More Jill Jones discussion this week on The Mountains and the Sea. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
JJ? Juicy Jams? Jubilee Jingles? How about “Just Joy” when it comes to the eponymous JJ album. Jill Jones discussion this week on The Mountains and the Sea. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ Twitter: @TMATSPodcast Email: [email protected]
