The Work Volumes

Has anybody ever attempted to clean up these recordings? I would think with all of the technology now a days, that there would be a new computer program that would be able to clean up a lot of these tracks. This is a great collection to have, I just wish they were cleanier tracks. It seems as though some of these tracks don't sound much different on CD then they did back in the day on tape.

i think it goes up to about 9.
The last i heard a certain Irish fan was in the process of cleaning them
up.
I only have the first 4.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

someone wants a third cleaning of the tracks? Too much processing will make it sound fake, bubbly, and digitally garbled...

You have to ask Prince for clean copies. razz

The first five volumes (each 4-disc sets) were issued by Thunderball on factory-pressed CD.

Four subsequent fan-made volumes (and some additional single disc remix and outtake supplement releases) generally filling in gaps, but also providing some better quality recordings were subsequently produced on CD-R labelled volumes 6, 7 8 and 9, and adopting the same style artwork.

An 'enhanced' complete CD-R set was later put together which (eliminating some duplication) reduced the total number of CDs in the entire set.

They are bootlegs. Don't ask. It is against the site rules.

About 2 years ago, a cat got me all 5 volumes that were polished, a crisp sounding, and artwork for $60. I thought it was too good to be true until I got them all in the mail. I know this is wrong to talk about this, but that's perhaps the best sounding ----leg stuff I have ever gotten!

The best leg stuff I ever got thru the mail was a lamp.
