What track made you realise... ...that Prince's unreleased catalogue is just as important as his released one? Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. |

Why Train? As for me, I don't think there isone. The first outtakes I heared (after The Black Album) were songs like Turn It Up, Extra Loveable, Witness etc... And I liked them just as much as the released ones. | |

It was the first unrelease song I heard that I though was as good as anything in the rest of his catulogue. Purely by chance, I guess. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. |

Old Friends 4 Sale & Crystal Ball, this was 1988, a decade before either was released. [Edited 7/29/16 6:32am] Liberty > Authority | |

I'm not sure I could narrow it down, but I remember hearing "Extraloveable" and "In A Large Room With No Light" before either of them had a released version and being blown away.
Oh, and "Wally" of course |

Moonbeam Levels. I heard about that track for years before I ever obtained it - and it totally lived up to its billing. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

You've heard Wally? Yes, he has. And I've heared it too. And so have you. We can all imagine how it sounds like in our own mind. | |

Probably The Black Album as a whole in the late '80s. And maybe one of the unreleased versions of We Can Funk. | |

I agree with so many already mentioned (crystal ball, rebirth of the flesh, witness, electric intercourse).. Also need to add noon rendevous, all my dreams, Adonis+, player, empty room... All these songs could easily be career defining for almost anyone else... Just amazing!!! |

Oh yeah .. Also his version of desire had always been special to me.. That is one of the first unreleased songs I heard... |

The first one was Electric Intercourse followed by Wonderful Ass and more recently Leaving for New York (recorded in 1976) which blew me away the first time I heard it. Life Matters | |

Not sure how to answer that since the first bootleg I heard back in 1988 was The Black Album and I loved it more than Lovesexy which soon followed. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

The first bootleg I heard -after the black album- was Open Book, which I loved then and I love now just as much. But probably the song I first thought 'this is as good as anything that he's ever released' was All My Dreams. | |

In A Large Room With No Light actually made me angry. It's sooooo FUCKING GOOD, I still can't understand why he never let that surface.   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

For me it was the 1-2 lunch of the unreleased versions of Feel U Up and Irresistibe Bitch that I heard on "A Better Place 2 Die" bootleg in the late 80s. The sound quality was so awful and the lyrics so buried with his soft delivery - it just sounded like the top of a mountain of unreleased gems. Moonbeam Levels and Turn It Uo were on the same boot, as well as Cboxolate. I still love the tracks on that collection and am dismayed that the sound quality on the best versions of them aren't better (Moonbeam Levels is out in pretty decent sound but the others suffer from hiss and distortion). . Once I heard the rehearsal of When Doves Scream, I knew this guy was borderline crazy and had no choice but to go all in.
