Listened to Small Club the other day for the first time in awhile and it's as essential as any Prince recording there is.

There's only 1 winner and that winner is SMALL CLUB!!!

The Work, with some execeptions of a few Live bootlegs.

"Small Club" - Best Bootleg Album? Thanks for the tip, Org. Don't usually like bootlegs (most sound like crap to me), but picked it up after reading this thread. Would have never known. That's why I love The Org - I get a Musical Education upon every visit.

"It is better to travel well than to arrive."

Live you can't beat the first Avenue performance from August 1983.

Studio wise I've always really liked Crucial, it plays like a proper album. All the songs are from the 1985-1986 period and work well together and the running order is spot on.

any of the o2 shows

Lots of fans will say OR Small Club, as it was the first aftershow in sound board quality to make it out of the death grip of The Vault OR indeed that sequenced Dream Factory.

But, in retrospect, the bootlegged Black Album and Charade back in the days certainly were albums that were coveted, made Prince legendary and gave a good scope of how silly he was, shelving songs like Old Friends 4 Sale.

Charade was interesting as it was the first album that showed people the progress of how Prince distills recordings into something final.

Y'all know The Work has been drastically expanded...right?, it's now got all that I'll Do Anything material, runs to 33 discs now,

Small club is a quality recording, but there are some rougher ones around that I enjoy just as much.

It's live bootlegs all the way for me.

As for the O2 shows. __ck me !!!!! Amazing !!

Now that I know Prince don't like it, I don't do it now.

if i have to choose 5:

Small Club
Stripped Down
Osaka '89
The Work 1 - 5
Xenophobia 1 & 2

peace,grafix

It's funny how people have different tastes; the O2 shows just summed up for me everything I do not like in Prince's music these days; flat, uninterested and easy. You play that funky music, , Mr Nelson, while I just go and play The Knife records, thank you.

But dayum, them old boots. YUM!

Back in college I did pick up a bootleg titled "just another N-word singing" It was a SOTT Europe concert. One lp was only left speaker, but the second lp was both speakers and though its been years since I've dusted it off, wasn't that bad, though i really don't know much bout bootlegs.


But I've never heard this bootleg discussed.
