i figured it out

 

Full Tracklist:
1. Old Money (?) - Based on the other photo and the fact that Old Money made it to UV's final tracklist, it is likely that she kept it on this draft as well

2. Money Power Glory

3. Guns N Roses (?)

4. Black Beauty

5. Lake Placid

6. Melancholia

7. Earthquakes

8. Summertime

9. Dragonslayer

10. Trans Am

11. Queen Of Hearts (?) - last track looks like it has "of" in the middle, and QoH was recorded feb 2nd, and this photo was taken in January so it could've been considered/first written here

oh found it

and just like that... the years long mystery has been solved

 

Tropico Tracklist Draft #1:

1. Old Money

2. Black Beauty

3. Guns n Roses

4. Lake Placid

5. Summertime

6. Melancholia

7. Jesus

8. Pink Champagne

9. Elvis

10. Earthquakes

11. Venus

12. Fake Roses

13. Preacher

[Dark City 1,482]

Instead of torturing myself to death, while trying to figure out the actual tracklist, I’ve  been trying for the past year, but with no results.

 

I’ve come to a simple conclusion:

Use the tracks, that we know for sure to have been considered for Tropico

 

Old Money

Black Beauty

Guns and Roses

Lake Placid

Summertime 

Melancholia

(I talk to) Jesus

Earthquakes

Pink Champagne

Hollywood

Dragonslayer

Ave Maria

Angels Forever 

Money Power Glory 

 

Now the “Tracklist” is not in order, but uses tracks that we sure Know to have been considered for the project. I did not put Elvis in this tracklist because it is too raw (don’t misunderstand me, i love that song)

Something like this wouldn't be that bad of a record:

1. Ave Maria (Intro)

2. Angels Forever Forever Angels

3. Melancholia

4. Pink Champaigne

5. Dragonslayer

6. Earthquakes

7. Summertime

8. Hollywood

9. Money Power Glory

10. Guns and Roses

11. Old Money

12. Lake Placid

13. Black Beauty

14. I Talk to Jesus

 

Singles:  1st Black Beauty, 2nd AFFA, 3rd MPG remix feat. The Weeknd, 4th I Talk to Jesus or Earthquakes (with cheap phone recorded Lizzy Grant inspired video like UV or HM title tracks) 5th Summertime (with cute homemade video with Barrie a la Summer Wine).
