Uncommon PRN Productions, Inc., rehearsal memo, 8.5 x 11, dated January 3, 1986, sent from PRN general manager Karen Krattinger to eleven members of The New Revolution. The memo alerts that rehearsals begin on Monday February 3, 1986, and continue through Friday with double sessions each day lasting from noon to 6 pm. Krattinger adds the 26-song set list below, noting that “All songs should be choreographed and arranged (not ballads).” Song titles include: ‘Raspberry Beret,’ ‘Purple Rain,’ ‘Kiss,’ ‘Soft and Wet,’ and ‘Mountains.’ Prince is listed in the carbon copy line at the bottom. In fine condition. Coinciding with the release of Parade and the film Under the Cherry Moon, this rehearsal set list was doubtlessly used for Prince and The Revolution’s 1986 Parade Tour, which commenced on March 3, giving the supporting performers one month to learn the songs. From the Prince Collection of Karen Krattinger.
