" FruitToAttractBears" It's perfectly ok to discuss bootlegs you have heard. Let's hear from some people.

As a matter of fact. There used to be a lot of Bootlegs ( Non-Official Label Music) sold direct inside of Arenas where Prince Concerts were held. Especially back in the 1980's and 90's alot of stuff was sold during his concerts. Does anybody remember this or am I just imagining this?

Question: Who was selling this stuff? Do you think Prince didn't know they were being sold at official booths during his concerts?

Prince is probably the biggest bootlegged Artist of all time. Don't you think that bootlegging can help an artist's career. Prince could turn around and sell official copies of most of his own bootlegged stuff and he could make millions anytime he wanted to. I think bootlegging has kept Prince's career hot for almost 30 years even though his record sales didn't always show it. He is the Greatest perform, writer, producer of all time.

I don't remember boots being sold inside the concerts!? Outside yes, but inside?

The best bootleg releases I've heard are by the 'Thunderball' label. They issued cds in volumes called 'The Works' Volume 1 and 2 etc.Each volume is in a 4 cd set. The sound quality ranges from good to excellent and the majority of his most sought after unreleased tracks are on them.

There are 5 volumes of Tballs The Work set indispensible stuff nod

As far as live stuff goes Vega 2002, Small Club and Purple Finale are my favorites

The Work. End of discussion.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
