Wriggling squirrel meat. Now let's nail down the details on someone who is TRULY indescribable.

AND deserved the respect of releasing what he saw fit. Fans my azz.

Enjoy the pleasure of your critiques.



I would have told Prince to his face that I enjoyed some of his unreleased songs. I can’t help it if I think that music is some of the greatest ever. I don’t regret listening to any boots ever. I really don’t know why you’re getting so emotional about this.


What you would have told Prince doesn't really matter. This is not about you - get it?


Here's the reason I'm getting emotional (which is not a negative by the way). The guy, in his own words, said 4 months before his death that he did not like people stealing music from him. It never stopped pissing him off, probably wore away at him for decades. I am really starting to understand by reading, even this thread alone, how far some of his fans were/are removed from caring about that. I also understand why he did not leave a will. My guess is that was on purpose - when I'm done, you're done.


"There was one engineer who said that their sole purpose in life was to get the stuff out of the vault, and get it copied so it wasn’t lost to the world. I’m trying to figure out if that’s illegal. Should I fear for my safety that you might need some medical attention? You want to come up in my vault and you feel like that belongs to you and that’s your purpose? You better find something to do. That’s scary."

Am I supposed to care that he didn’t want me to listen to bootlegs? Good lord. I couldn’t care less. He said and did many things I don’t agree with. I was his fan, not a loyal servant.

And I’m “done”? Ha. Nope. I’ll be enjoying all these awesome bootlegs for years to come. I’m sorry you’ll never have a chance to hear this music. It’s really good!

I'm just curious why some so-called fans are rooting so hard for failure. That says 100% more about the person than Prince. Prince had his awards in life, internal and external. And his killjoys have theirs. RodSerling, Bart - they all revel in the negativity.

The rest of us? We're just enjoying the music and celebrating the life.

If he had left a will, he could have prevented us from hearing any unreleased material. He did not. That was his choice.

Oh please rolleyes if Prince was really sooooooo concerned about "people stealing music from him",he would not have been so careless with his music in the first place.It's well-known that he routinely handed out tapes of unreleased songs to friends and associates.He even admitted that he understands a fan's desire to hear bootlegs,because as a teen,he was the same way with James Brown bootlegs.

You're quoting from an interview which was pulled from publication because apparently he had problems with its representation of him--you're not to supposed to have read it, at least according to Prince. So--either his opinion matters to you, or it doesn't. But if it does, don't bring this interview into it.

I always suspected that he might do a Zappa Beat the Boots thing with whatever anyone sent to him anyway. Even if he had perfect recordings for a show, he'd just release the boots officially (as some are claiming the estate is doing now)--so "good fans" would buy them.

No one said stop listening to his music. That is just where this is getting taken in order to justify doing what he didn't want people to do. Get his art without him being paid for it. He didn't like it.

If you don't like the article I quoted from there are many many more of those comments from him in plenty of other press.

You're not done taking whatever you can Sausage, I understand.

Listening to Mary Don't You Weep for the first time today and it is brilliant! The Gospel-style vocals with the bluesy/jazzy piano is amazing. I love it!

I'm good with this and look forward to having it! I think the choice makes perfect sense as a ramp-up for an upcoming Piano & A Microphone 2016 release. This is the kind of stuff I want to see released from the vault - cohesive collections that show Prince's genius. While I'd generally prefer full band recordings to solo piano, I prefer this cohesive release to a random selection of unreleased songs.

This shows Prince’s talent and perhaps glimpses of genius, but I think it’s a real stretch to call it either “cohesive” or “a collection” in any true sense.

If you read more closely:

I am pointing out the lack of 'new' music we are going to hear for quite a while now.

Celebrating someone's life here is proportional to these releases.

Having thought about it, this is nothing to worry about. This is only been two years since his passing. There are many more years where all kinds of material will be released (regardless of how any previous release did sales wise etc.). Some future releases will be raved about, some will be criticized. It's important to note that they shouldnt release huge compilations of unheard music at once that some are expecting, but spread out throughtut the next decade(s).

Personally, I’m quite encouraged by this release. It may be somewhat underwhelming from our perspective (as die-hards/collectors), but it illustrates that they're willing to put out less mainstream releases if it serves to showcase his pure musicality. This is the kind of thing that I assumed would be languishing in the vault for years, and releasing it to a broader audience is a good thing.



I’m not sure that I understand the cynicism regarding their motivations.

It would have been cheaper. Boots were expensive back in the day.

I would take fortnightly pilgrimages to Camden in the 90s (pre widespread internet). I’d visit Prince’s shop for the symbol shaped candles and other tat, pay my respects and catch up on the latest news, but I’d head to the market for the music. The contrast was quite stark, unless you wanted endless copies of the Goldnigga cd. smile

I bought multiple copies of Goldnigga with the deleted track “Guess Who’s Knockin’” at the 2000 Paisley Park garage sale. Sold them all for a nice profit. Thanks, Prince!

Another point regarding the people who are all whining “but but but Prince didn’t want us to buy bootlegs blah blah fucking blah” — Prince also said he didn’t want people to buy The Black Album. I’m guessing most of those Whiny MFs own a copy of The Black Album. As they should, because it’s fantastic.

Hasnt ever real collector had these tracks for decades? I hate the bulsshit way they are trickling shit out over months. WHy not make a compilation that is substantial and accessible to everyone. Even some hardcore fans cant keep up with chicken shit marketing tactics like let one track out every 3-6 months.

As you know, the Black Album was officially released, so ever since 1994, it doesn't really count as a bootleg anymore.
