Remarkable interview!

I wish the journalist had asked more about which masters were destroyed exactly: things that Prince had just done or old songs. This is sad news however, I hope too many songs weren't lost. I also wonder about the use of the word "masters": does it mean the multitracks survived?

The fact that he was reluctant about Elixer and finally got it out shows that P had a complex relationship to his own work.

This interview also confirms that there's a shitload of unreleased material from 1996 on, since apparently P kept recording nons-top.

The older stuff is some of the raunchiest material he created. Wouldn't surprise me i guess if that's what he destroyed. Great interview tho.

I remember the lady in the white veil eek I think there was a restraining order against her at one point. I remember her always trying to get in at Paisley Park and once I overheard security would tell her that she knew she wasn't allowed there and they could call the police for violating the order, but they wouldn't if she just left. But she would still show up every weekend for a time, and I remember seeing her outside, but I don't recall seeing her inside. I remember thinking she was very strange.

Was that the lady Prince ended up comng out and talking to himself?

I remember him relating a story where the staff wanted him to call the police, but instead he went out and asked her if she really wanted him to do that. She apparently ended up leaving on her own and never coming back.

Or so he related it anyway.

i remember seeing her at parties a few times over the years, once she even spoke to me. couldn't see her face under the veil and thought she might be from another country.

Is this the lady with the Arabic attire? If so, I have seen her many times over. Great read, I must say.

Yes, that was Princess and she was very sweet. She was unique and special and did love Prince very deeply in her own way. While I was living in her Hawaii, she was to and I went to her house and had lunch with her many times. I've lost touch with her but I do worry hat she isn't doing well since Prince's passing. She smelled so sweet no matter what time of day or late into the night.

One sad thing is that she flew to NYC during the Musicology tour and was held up and harassed by security and wasn't allowed into the show until halfway through the set. She went to many shows before that one and I always felt that "Cinnamon Girl" could have been written with her in mind. I have photos of her, me and others that were posted on the NPGMC website. The girls from Italy were also great as well as the couples from Sweden. Prince had some of the best fans who traveled all over the world.

They're was only one fan that I felt went to far when she moved near Prince and actually became a JW and went to the same Kingdom Hall. I saw her at so many shows and she worshipped Prince just a bit too much but was still a very nice lady but you didn't ever debate Prince with her. I remember her sitting about 3 rows behind Prince at the NAACP awards where he performed. I just remembered, she royally ticked me off at one show where she was behind me and kept slapping her tambourine. It was driving me crazy!!!

It is great to see so many bootlegs out there and see myself in the audience and yes, all the other great fans that supported and followed him around the world. The crazy ones weren't the diehards but rather the fans that it was their first time and they would get drunk. The diehards helped pay the bills and Prince did take care of us. Princess, if you're out there I wish you love.

It could have been. I have a very clear recollection of her being told to leave by security though, not Prince. And they said you know you're not supposed to be here and she would try to talk her way in anyway, so I suppose it's possible.
It was like she was there all the time, and then one day she was just gone. I always figured she eventually gave up because she wasn't allowed in, but it sounds like she just relocated her crazy lol

3121Live

Ian Boxill here. As requested by one of your board mates i will answer a few questions.


As far as the tapes destroyed, These were songs that were recorded prior to 2001 I believe, so they are songs prior to me working with him. I was told this by some of the guys that were working at Paisley at the time. I am not sure which masters were destroyed but I believe some were released songs like Sexy MF and other songs that were explicit and had cursing on them. Hope that helps.

Having been in the vault with him on many occasions there are still a lot of tapes in there that seemed to be unreleased music. He would always have me look for songs there and it would take me a while to go through all the tapes because it’s in no particular order. Whatever is still in the vault will be released eventually I am 100% sure.
