Okay, someone had asked if the first three songs should be "one suite". I know how on UNDUN, the last four songs were originally one track but had to be divided into four songs. Personally, I always felt the first four songs on PARADE should be as "one suite". I realize I'm breaking the rule here, but if it's my album to compile, I play by my own rule so:

Side 1
Under The Cherry Moon Suite: a) Christopher Tracy's Parade; 2) New Position; 3) I Wonder U; 4) Under The Cherry Moon
Life Could Be So Nice
Alexa De Paris (Full Take )

Side 2
♥ Or $ (Extended Version)
Mountain (Extended Version)
Venus de Milo


====
This was the hard one, because PARADE is one of my favorite Prince albums from start to finish. As I said, I always hear the first four songs as one "movement", a bit more SGT. PEPPER or ABBEY ROAD in tone than ATWIAD ever was (IMHO) but, I'll stick with this.
