I own a copy of each and every track listed on this website, except for the following.
If you have any of those tracks and you wish to send them to me, or trade them against other songs that I have and you don't, please mail me (lotus[dot]flow3r[at]ymail[dot]com) or reach me through the Org (I'm databank there). I don't check this email address often so please don't be mad if the reply comes late.
SO FAR INCLUDED IN THE LIST: My wishlist of tracks made available between 1976 and 1986. There are others from later years of course, but I will add them as I progress with the proofreading phase.

OTHER UNIDENTIFIED / UNLISTED / UNCERTAIN TRACKS:
1976 RADIO JINGLES/COMMERCIALS
While For You was the first Prince recording ever made available for the public to purchase in 1978, Chris Moon revealed that Prince contributed music to at least "five or six" radio jingles and commercials, including one for a store named "Gigi's", while he was working at Moonsound in 1976. Those would be the first Prince recordings ever made available to the public. Hopefully, copies have survived and may one day be rediscovered. Until the existence of such recordings is confirmed and more information is made available, I am unable to create entries for them. More info needed.
VANITY 6 SOLID GOLD TV BROADCAST
Vanity 6 lip-synched Nasty Girl on the show (1983/01/15). As I don't have the performance, I cannot tell if it's a unique edit or not. More info needed.
1999 TOUR WGPR TV BROADCAST
According to a source (the late Richard Kuhn, aka BigChick), one of the Houston live shows from the Triple Threat Tour was aired late at night by Detroit TV station WGPR at some point in 1983 (or possibly even later). It most likely was the 1982/12/29 show that was finally released in 2019, or the 1983/01/03 show, since both were pro-shot. It was pro-shot and sent to the station either by Prince himself or members of his staff, and while it's not clear whether Prince had authorized this broadcast and whether he was even aware of its existence, it was at least sanctioned by his management or any given member of his staff. More info needed.
POSSIBLE HOW COME U DON'T CALL ME ANYMORE LONGER VERSION
The existence of a 3 seconds longer edit of How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore has been reported to exist on the 1983 European cassette version of the album. More info needed.
POSSIBLE STAND BACK EXTENDED VERSION
Wikipedia claims there exists an extended version but besides what appears to be fanmade mixes, I haven't found any proof of its existence anywhere. A slightly extended mix can also be heard on a music video that's on Youtube, but it seems to be fake. More info needed.
POSSIBLE AUTOMATIC VIDEO EDIT
Princevault lists a 3:40 video version on the music video's entry, but as I don't have a copy, it's unclear to me whether this is the same as the 3:38 single edit, or a slightly different version. More info needed.
POSSIBLE LET'S GO CRAZY EXTENDED PROMO VIDEO
Princevault reports a 7:13 video edit, however I am incapable of knowing if this is from the movie or a longer edit of the normal promo video, and whether the audio track is different from any other known version. More info needed.
POSSIBLE PURPLE RAIN ALTERNATE PROMO VIDEO EDIT
It's possible there are up to four different Purple Rain promo videos besides the movie scene itself. MTV Europe used to play one with the spoken intro in the early 90's, while the version on the Purple Rain 2004 anniversary edition doesn't have the spoken intro. A source also reported the existence of two other edits without the intro: one that would have been aired on Dutch TV and another one on MTV. The former had more sound effects from the film while the latter had slight differences with the DVD version (different fade-in and mix on the guitar solo). I'm also uncertain whether the version in the film itself is the exact same mix as the "music video" version added to the 2004 DVD. Until I have proper evidence that all those versions exist, I'll only include the version from the film on the list. More info needed.
POSSIBLE APOLLONIA 6 EUROPEAN TV APPEARANCES
Apollonia 6 lip-synched on the following shows, but I have no way of knowing if any of those are unique edits. More info needed.
Germany: Sex Shooter on Formel Eins (1984/10/02)
Italy: Sex Shooter on some unidentified TV show (1984/??/??)
The Netherlands: Sex Shooter on TROS Pop Formule (1984/09/??)
France: Sex Shooter on Les Enfants du Rock (1984/??/??)
POSSIBLE APOLLONIA 6 JAPANESE TV APPEARANCE
Reportedly, Apollonia 6 did a 1985 appearance on Japanese TV. It may have featured unique edits of one or more songs. More info needed.
POSSIBLE OLD FRIENDS 4 SALE PROMO CASSETTE
According to at least two sources, the original Old Friend 4 Sale (sans orchestra) was aired regularly on NY station 104 WDKX in late 1985/early 1986. Reportedly, the radio hosts suggested that they had obtained the cassette directly from Paisley Park but it could also have been the result of an unintended leak (in which case it shouldn't be featured on this website). More info needed.
POSSIBLE SHEILA E. TV APPEARANCES
Sheila 6 lip-synched on the following shows, but I have no way of knowing if any of those are unique edits. More info needed.
Reportedly, Sheila lip-synched The Glamorous Life on Dutch program TopPop, on the same day she did The Belle Of St. Mark (1984/11/03), but I have no way of knowing if it's a unique edit.
Besides The Glamorous Life, Sheila is reported to have lip-synched The Belle Of St. Mark on Dutch TV show Countdown (1984/07/22), but I have no way of knowing if it's a unique edit.
UK: A Love Bizarre on Solid Gold (1985/??/??)
US: A Love Bizarre and Sister Fate on American Bandstand (1985/10/26)
PARADE WGPR TV BROADCAST
According to a source (the late BigChick a.k.a. Richard Kuhn), the full 1986 Detroit show (the same that was used for the Parade promo video album above) was aired late at night by Detroit TV channel WGPR at some point in 1986 (or possibly even later). This last version was pro-shot and sent to the station either by Prince himself or members of his staff, and it's not clear whether Prince had authorized this broadcast or whether he was even aware of its existence, but the tape was definitely sent by someone from his camp. The exact content of this broadcast is uncertain: I don't know whether it was entirely unedited or if some small cuts were made here and there. More info needed.
