I could swear I paid $5 plus shipping for that one straight from 1800NEWFUNK, right when it came out...

From PrinceVault.com:

"NYC is a cassette single sold for $20.00 directly from the 1-800 New Funk phone service, and can be considered the third and final commercially-released single from Emancipation (although Face Down had been available promotionally following the album's second single The Holy River, and The Holy River itself was released promotionally in the USA in the Summer of 1997)."

I'm not going to argue with PrinceVault on this, I'm just going to assume that the years ( ) have messed with my memory...

Nice INDEED! Much mo' betta...

I have the version with the gross cover. It turns out that it's a FLAC file upconverted from MPEG. What I'm wondering is if anyone has it in true lossless?

^^^that's a great pic of him. And just a good look for him in general.

Love me some Junk Music (what a dope title for a 20 minute song ). It even has the nerve to fade out . Wish I could hear the 45 or hour long original cut and see if there are more twists and turns, see what they came up with . Prince is a crazy drummer, Sheila bangin' away on the cowbell or whatever she bangin'. Lisa's little solos, the bass . Up From Below is good too. Wendy on the gee-tar. Eric is the man, as always . Got new love for A Couple of Miles too . Go 'head Prince/bootleggers

Given the fact that it's out there in some people's hands and the turn of events for the last few years after a decade without a single leak or so, I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of time before someone leaks the full sessions and everything else that's made its way outside of the vault for that matter. A few years maybe, but eventually I would be surprised if we didn't get everything.

Now if was in a mood to do something with his archives, a deluxe "The Complete The Flesh Sessions" box-set with the album and the whole sessions wouldn't hurt, though

it will never happen, but it would be amazing if Prince made available a box-set of all previously leaked vault material. To clear the decks for unheard stuff.
