NO SOLICITING FOR BOOTLEGS! Discussion is fine, so long as the bootleg is not being promoted e.g. pre-release; requests/offers to share or copy, and links to download or bootleg sites are not. These rules are strictly enforced!
***********************************

Hi y'all,

.

I see a new thread popping every once in a while about new leaks, sometimes several a day or a week as is the case now. It's confusing enough that we don't always know where to get them, it becomes a headache if we first have to figure out what to look for by browsing the board every day. I don't think we need a new thread for each new leak.

.

Please share info about new leaks, starting by the new ones from this week. I originally wanted to repost all the new releases/leaks in the OP but I never get around to doing it so I think we just follow new posts in the thread to check on new leaks/releases.

.

Please limit the discussion to informations about the leaks/releases (sound quality, sources, is it rehash or really new/improved, etc.) so that the information isn't lost in a flood of comments about the music itself: you can create separate threads to discuss artistic appreciation of the content itself.

.

Please don't fuck-up the thread by asking for or sharing links. Mods will lock the thread if you do that.

.

Please post only confirmed leaks and tracklists (i.e. you have the tracks or several posters have confirmed having them). Let's avoid rumors and fakes as much as possible.

.

When the thread autolocks, I'll make a new one and ask the mods to make a new sticky.

.

Thx for ur help

.

Created this because apparently, "Purple Underground: Volume 5 - Someone 2 Call" has been leaked.

.

Please post detailed tracklist and comparison to other existing sources here when confirmed, I am not aware of the tracklist so I can't do it.

.

The boot itself and personal appreciation of the content can be addressed in this dedicated thread: http://prince.org/msg/7/457447

Is this any kind of upgrade over the good old bootleg from the 90's? A remaster perhaps?

There are clips online. I've heard better quality soundboards, thought the audio issues may be down to whoever's tinkered with the recordings.

Is the Cabaret Metro an EYE offering?

It's from an outfit called Dream Factory Records. I'm sure it's basically Eye.

Will have to hunt those down. Curious about whether it's a *new* tape or if it's just a home made remaster (which I'm afraid most likley will the case, otherwise this would have been discussed already).

is there a reason all these soundchecks r from purple rain tour?? will they be going thru all the tours?

The original sources for the leaks. Some people were only around up until a certain point to collect those tapes. We may get more pre-PR or 86-87 stuff. After that I don't think there's much in circulation in terms of soundboards and rehearsals.

I don't know anything, that's just what I could gather from what various people told me in private or said here on the Org over the years.

I haven't heard the samples yet but are these messed with by Eye like the 1983 First Avenue release they did, that was horrible! These people at Eye records only degrade good recordings with there so called cleaning of fine sources.
The only version I have of this recording was the dual mono Soundboard bootleg release from the 90's, I hope this is finally the stereo version.

We're hearing rumours.....contradiction news .....real news....false news etc.....we don't know anything until the material is out ....so wait & see !

I can't wait to hear these

Me too. Hope we don't have to spend 'another lonely Christmas' with no 'presents'.

is the sound quality the same for the "Someone to call rehearsal" as was circulating before?

So the “Purple Underground” boot is now out. However it’s probably the least interesting volume out of all of them since most of it has already been leaked.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know what stuff is new from it?

Ah right, thanks a lot, that's very helpful. Am I correct in thinking the cover of More Bounce To The Ounce on disc 3 was also leaked a while ago (2011?) as a single track, or was that a different performance?

With the Useless release by The Estate/WBR of this past fall (Piano 83) & the laughable releases 2 come by The Estate/SONY.....i really hope that EyeR will release something very consistent & xclusive in the weeks 2 come (Blast V7?)...really....this is not an exciting time to enjoy 4 fans with official releases since Prince's Death !!!
