1986 March 31 : Parade UTCM Era


Prince and The Revolution (October 20, 1986) Anotherloverholenyohead - Single 7"/12" UK
Anotherloverholenyohead captures the final spark of The Revolution — a playful, horn‑driven funk workout that radiates the theatricality of the Parade era. Pairing it with I Wanna Be Your Lover was a clever UK‑only move, reconnecting fans with the youthful disco‑funk that launched Prince’s career. The result is a single that bridges two eras: the raw ambition of 1979 and the sophisticated experimentation of 1986. A vibrant collectible from a moment of transformation.
