What Did Prince Do In Week 4 of Jan 1986? Kiss + Mountains take shape + the Flesh gets assembled

In Episode 156 of What Did Prince Do This Week?, we dive into Week 4 of 1986 and Prince’s Parade-era studio activity, including the evolution of “Kiss” and its iconic 12” version featuring the B-side “Love or $,” and a review of the extended version of “Mountains.” We also discuss a mix of “An Honest Man” for the film Under the Cherry Moon, examine the assembly of The Flesh album, and explore further edits and mixes of the vault tracks “Groove” and “Mobile.” Prince also pulled “Roadhouse Garden” and “All Day, All Night” off the vault shelves.

What Is #WDPDTW?

We meet every Saturday at noon ET for What Did Prince Do This Week?, an interactive virtual book club and salon where we slowly read and discuss Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions and the full Prince Studio Sessions series by Duane Tudahl.

It’s more than a book club. It’s a Saturday salon inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, where Prince’s work becomes a jumping-off point for deep cultural, musical, and historical conversation.
