But, even with the bootlegs, you could usually listen to them in the stores that carried them, read up on the quality of sound and music on various web sites or get the scoop from another music head or Prince fan. That luxury is still a bit more than paying money for the promise of the possibility of something. Totally different animals. Guess it all depends on the stores you frequented. | |

ThreadBare said: peterv said: Actually, no... Most cases with boots dealings were at wrecka shos, and many times they were sealed and not available for preview. Also, there was no (or very little) internet or preview outlets for fans, so most of the time, it was a stab in the dark...Not to mention that there were usually on a few copies available, so the sense of urgency influenced buyers to make rash decisions.
Guess it all depends on the stores you frequented. Also, MOST cities didn't have record shops that sold boots, or at least VERY few. LA and NYC had fair amounts, but that's LA and NYC. | |
