... who here owns one???

surely somebody among us does.

personally this would be a dream 2 own this.
the most well known rarity besides the original pressing of The Black Album.
& it is my favourite jam.

& if u DO own this,a foto of urself with it would b wild.


oh,also... which version(s) of 'GettOff' r on this wrekka?
(is this where the DamnNear10Minute version comes from?)

the vinyl I have is the same as the cd single

the one i am talking about is the mystery record that was sent 2 DJ's & radio stations,
with the purple scribble on the front.
im not even sure if the artist/title names r on the vinyl's label or on the cover.

there were only 1,500 of these i think.
& they were sent out i believe by Paisleypark,not Warner.

here's the cover...i don't own a copy of this, unfortunately...

i dooo, 3 of em actually

I don't own it, but the rare version of 'Gett Off' on there can be found on 'T's 12inch Archive' bootleg.Basically all Prince's twelve inch versions spread over 6CD's.

Nice.

i have that bootlegg archive...pretty damn sweet!

Triple J in Australia somehow got a copy of it and spun it a few times before the regular version came out. I taped one of the tracks on it, but the radio reception wasn't the best, so i got a little static on my copy. I like that version though to the released one

i have the mp3 of the damn near 10min mix.

purplepump kicks ass tho.

This one still pops up occasionally on eBay for about $150 still sealed mint condition... I bought one in 1992 for $10 still sealed from a dude who thought it was just the regular 12", I did too actually back then...
A couple of years later I bought an opened 12" and finally discovered it was a whole other version...

But a real rare find would be that Mica Paris 12" with Prince's demo of "If I Love U 2 Night" on it, or the 12"'s Prince's DJ was carrying around at the October afterparty in Rotterdam, dude had about 10 12"'s of songs of off "Emancipation"...


Yes...

Neversin.

The "Damn Near 10min Mix" is the ONLY track on this promo version. The second promo release had multiple tracks, including some of the tracks that were on the CD single.

The white sleeved one.

hmmm...a friend of mine has this sealed and mint...don't think I could convince him 2 open it though, since he paid £££ for it!

I just got lucky when I could buy an opened one cheap...

if it's the song u wanna hear...
it is usually on winmx or kazaa

Mine is proudly on display. . .still sealed. . .would love to open it. . .

I actually bought a crappy bootleg to hear the damn near 10 minute version after I bought the sealed copy. . .[New Power Mixes. . .stay away from this one!]

it used to go for as much as 1500.00 in japan...

however, one can get lucky and find it at a record show for as little as 10.00. it would take a lot of luck, though...

i will be putting one up on e-bay soon. i'm still debating the minimum bid. it isn't sealed, but in excellent condition. i think it's only been played once or twice. the cover is near perfect (with only a slight bend in the corner...

if anyone is interested, you can org-note me...

I have this. Yep its the one known as the "Damn near 10 min mix. Same on both sides.

This is the best version by far. Why. Coz the flute line is backed up by guitar, like the live version! Love it!

You see; if you have a sealed copy and keep it sealed without listening to it then you are a nerd.

This music is made to be listened to.

Weirdo's

I have one
Actually am very glad with it, this version is da bomb!!
Also have the other promo for gett Off with the 6 diff versions on vinyl... I'm a real record collector

notice... the official paisley park bootleg is ONE sided...

This a rare item indeed. Also the Sexy MF promo package that came with the girlie underwear and a few other things that I can't remember off the top of my head.

peterv said:

Finess said:

I remember seeing all that a homies house... Always wanted that package too. Did they send them out to radio dj's?

SquirrelMeat said:

Then you got a bootleg...
The Paisley "bootleg" is a one-sided Promo the "A-side" label is white with purple scribblings on it (Nothing Can stop... Blah blah blah, the same as the original yellow 12" cover) and the time which says "approx: Damn Near 10 Min."

The "B-side" however has just a purple label and that's it...

Neversin.
