New (bootleg) live and studio compilation on iTunes

WARNING - This is a boot and will be taken down from iTunes, but since it is (at least temporarily) "officially available" I think it's reasonable to let people know about it, and to post here on the org (mods, if you disagree, feel free to delete):

[link removed - Tom]

Tracklist is (my notes on each track in bold):
Uptown 4:01 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Pop Life 3:49 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
1999 3:42 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Push 5:23 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 ACTUALLY PUSH & PULL FROM ALADDIN DVD
Controversy 3:31 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
1 + 1 + 1 = 3 11:43 Prince Prince - Live Album Only FROM ALADDIN DVD
Dirty Mind 4:00 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Got a Broken Heart 5:21 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
I Wanna Be Your Lover 2:49 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Strange Relationship 3:41 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Little Red Corvette 3:04 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 STUDIO VERSION
Pass the Peas 2:36 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Whole Lotta Love 4:23 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Family Name 5:58 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
I Would Die for You 4:22 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM 1985 LIVE VIDEO?
Take Me With You 2:44 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 FROM ALADDIN DVD
Shadows In the Dark 2:35 Prince Prince - Live $0.99 NOT EVEN PRINCE!!!


I just wrote a review, which probably won't get posted, but here it is anyway:
This album is a bootleg - not official. Total post-Superbowl cash-in. A lot of these tracks aren't even live - they're just the Warner Bros studio tracks pasted on. The live tracks are taken from the Prince - Live At The Aladdin DVD, which is worth getting just for 1+1+1=3, the most funky live version of this song (or almost any song) I've ever heard.
Shadows In The Dark is not even a Prince song - I don't know who it is, but it sounds nothing like Prince. And the track titled "Push" (a Prince track from Diamonds And Pearls) is actually "Push And Pull" (a Nikka Costa track here played on the Aladdin DVD by Prince and Nikka Costa).
AVOID! THIS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN SOON ANYWAY!


Of course, if Prince wanted to release a live album on iTunes today, he would totally cash-in and I would have no problem with it at all.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about this.
