"GO".. I have the rehearsal version (Nice, France)-- but was the STUDIO track ever circulating on bootlegs??

It's hard to hear the lyrics in the rehearsal version...

There is a clip of the studio version circulating.

yeah, it's about 40 seconds or something and it sounds GOOD

where the hell are all these kind of tracks that we only
have clips on or even only information about.

do they deliberately hold out on those (the bootleggers) to
give them one by one amongst rehashed boot material?

think: teacher, teacher/it's a wonderful day/train on the
dream factory bootleg a few years ago.

where did those tracks come from all of a sudden?

Some folks apparently do hold them back. I remember somebody posting a snippet of the actual "Lust U Always" at amp, but declined to put it in circulation. Then again, there are individuals even on this site who claim to have "Cosmic Day" and a few other mid-80s tracks but aren't willing to put them out widely.

maybe we should torture them until they give m up

I can't possibly churn out myself a record as bad as "Newpower Soul" for them to listen to. I think the plan would backfire.

It's not the bootleggers holding out, they're there to turn a profit and put the stuff out there. It's the handful of private collectors the keep the goodies to themselves, and trade only with people they can trust.

There's far more stuff out there than there is generally circulating, it's just a case of whether those that have it want to "free" it, as it were.

If they give up what they have, what do they get in return?

Trading has ALWAYS been about power. FREE THE "GO" STUDIO VERSION! But actually from the clip I heard, the studio version sounds a bit too pop ish and polished for me. The rehearsal sounds much more soulful in it's raw form.

I have heard that clip and loved it... I guess I was hoping there was more out there.

Exactly. Like why would I give up Wally?

No one would want to listen to my Rave outtakes anyway!

I have a version of GO, it's just Prince and Wendy, it cuts off after a minute and a half or so. Sounds like somebody is secretly taping it under their jacket or something. Start off with them turning on the drum machine and then turning it slower. A very raw rehearsa. I always assumed this was a boot of them writing the song, actually.
