The period from the end of 1985 to early 1987 (“1986”) was one of Prince’s most prolific periods for recording and performing music.

"The 1986 Box Set: A Year In The Life" is a summary of the year, which saw Prince tour the Parade album while recording music that became 1987's Sign O' The Times. It contains over 12 folders of studio tracks, 4 key live shows, 2 pro shot live videos, a tour rehearsal and an interview to follow Prince through one calendar year. 
 
It is also a tale of two halves:
 
1. First half of “1986” (December 1985- July 1986):
 
Final tracks recorded for Parade
He formally expands the Revolution to include horns & the fellas
Construction starts on Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen
He increasingly records studio tracks with input from Wendy and Lisa
Release of the Parade album and the single ‘Kiss’
In early June, assembles the 2nd configuration of the planned fifth Prince & The Revolution release Dream Factory, starts the “Hit & Run’ Tour in the Detroit, and gives a rare radio interview with Mojo.
 


2. Second half of “1986” (July 1986 – January 1987):
 
‘Under the Cherry Moon’ movie is released and flops
Wendy & Lisa inform they want to leave the group but are convinced to stay. From sometime in July - for whatever reasons - Wendy and Lisa were no longer directly involved in Prince studio recordings
The ‘Parade’ Tour goes to Europe and Japan.
He breaks up the Revolution – the 9 September Yokohama show is the last performance of Prince and The Revolution.
He records tracks for Sheila E’s third album
After the group effort of The Flesh, records the Madhouse album by himself (w/ horns)
Starts recording much darker and funkier tracks like 'Housequake' and 'Shockadelica', creating Camille using a sped-up voice with more horns in his music
Plans the release of Camille, which turns into the 3 LP opus Crystal Ball
Due to Parade’s poor sales, Warner Bros objects to a 3 LP release, so Prince assembles the double LP Sign O’ The Times 
Records funky tracks that were later compiled for the Black Album
 
Start of the self-described dark “Camille” period, to which Lovesexy was the eventual response. 
 
“From King Lear to Michael Corleone, the descent into darkness - after a period of bliss – has always been more interesting and provided the most dramatic tension in the creation of art.”
