Black Album: Official vs. Bootleg Version Looking for some help...trying to understand the difference between the trax on the official WB release of the Black Album (1994) and what is on a bootleg of it (circa 1988).
Does anyone have both the official and a boot of the Black Album to know if they came from the same source? Sorry if this has been asked before but the search function seems to be still down for maintenance... Thanks! | |

The Official Released Black Album:
Le Grind Cindy C Dead On It When 2 R In Love Bob George Superfunkycalifragisexy 2 Nigs United 4 West Compton Rockhard In A Funky Place Unofficial: The same tracks as above with In All My Dreams Old Friends 4 Sale. I think there are LOTS of different versions of the unofficial release tho-all on diff labels, and under the name of diff artists. | |

Most of the bootlegs have the same tracks.
Sometimes with a few extra outtakes tagged on the end. A common fault with a lot of bootlegs was that they missed out the fade-back bit at the end of 'Rockhard In A Funky Place' and some of them play just a little bit too fast, and of course sound quality varies. | |

I have a bootleg copy of it where the first 4 songs are on Track 1 and the last 4 songs are on Track 2. It has a lot of official logos like and the Paisley Park Logo and the sound quality is pretty good, but as with any other bootleg copy, it became a waste when the REAL official release came out in '94.Don't hate me 'cause I'm NOT beautiful | |
