I'm still trying to figure out how The Work compares to Work It in terms of track list (which is more complete) and overall quality...so I can just do one or the other.
All these multiples of the exact same tracks are killing me.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I think The Work is better quality than Work It. Aren't the last couple of volumes of The Work not really proper bootlegs? I think there's a whole few discs just with NPGMC tracks on them, no outtakes. | |

Jeffiner said: Volitan said: yes. On vol. 1 Thanks! No prob. I have 1, 2, and 3. I haven't got the others because pre- Love Symbol era Prince is my favorite. But I'm sure there's good stuff on the other ones too. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

Have you heard both of them? Or is this something you're guessing at? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

They go in chronilogical order. Earliest outtakes from say, '76-'84 are on Vol. 1. '84-88 on Vol. 2, '88-91 on Vol 3. I don't know after that. Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

You can't find it anywhere? Or it's never been found anywhere  | |

http://prince.org/msg/7/268679 VERY interesting, thanks Jochem! Someone posted these lyrics, and Borisfishpaw said can you spot the errors? This is what I think they might be... This is a Cosmic Dream.... I Look Outside My Window. I see the blue and the green.... There goes a Mermaid Uh Oh! Swimming through the sky, How did she get there Oh My! There's nothing strange, I'm not derranged, I only want every day..... To Be Oh To Be - A Cosmic Day! This is a Cosmic Dream.... I Look Outside My Window. I see the blue and the cream There goes a Merman Uh Oh! Swimming through the sky, How did he get there Oh My! There's nothing strange, I'm not derranged, I only want every day..... To Be Oh To Be - One? Cosmic Day! ? ?[Edited 8/2/08 8:30am] | |

I believe many of the tracks the hoarders are holding onto will see the light of day. All it would take is someone offering the right amount of greenback and the tracks would be free.
Listen to me you guys that trade in circles. Your power trip will soon be over. The rat's in ur circle will take the $$$. | |
