It is a sealed video cd of Prince LIVE in Miami with the Revolution. I hope I don't get in trouble for posting the pictures.

FRONT


BACK


I don't belive it is a boot,since it has the UPC code thingy.

Bewwwwwtleeeeeg

Totally a bootleg.

Front cover is from 3121: Vegas, rear cover is from the Lovesexy era, while all the tracks are from 1999/Purple Rain.

It also says the "copyright" is 1986 - neither of those cover images even existed in 1986.

BOOOOOTLLLLLEEEEEGGGGG!

I can't believe no one asked this yet....how's the video quality?

Well hopefully it's not a piece of crap. *crosses fingers*

EmeraldSkies said:

Boot. And I hope you didn't pay too much for it because it's not even the complete show.

It's a bootleg.

In some countries the copyright laws don't cover live recordings, so things
like this can be manufactured and sold without technically breaking the law.
Of course that doesn't stop it still being a bootleg, as the manufacturers are
basically just exploiting a legal loophole and Prince isn't seeing a dime from
releases like this.

good lawd ! i imagine the paisley police will come knockin... i echo what's bin said, its clear that these type of boots aren't put 2gether by people who kno about, or care about P or the quality of their 'product', the 'artwork' being from completely different and wrong era's, not even being anywhere near a complete show... but then Malaysia being the origin of it should get the alarm bells ringin !!

there is an answer,
P, WHEN U GET BACK 2 PAISLEY, OPEN THE VAULTS !

How much did you pay for it?

those crazy bootlegs it doesn't even include the entire show.

Two ways to spot a boot...

Does the packaging mix up different pics from different eras?

Have you ever seen it in a store or know of it's existance? (This is usually the best indicator)

I hope you didn't pay a lot for it. Looks like crap.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w..._recording

" is an audio and/or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist, or under other legal authority. The process of making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. A great many such recordings are simply copied and traded among fans of the artist without financial exchange, but some bootleggers are able to sell these rarities for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material.

Bootlegs can consist of recordings of live performances, or material created in private or professional recording sessions. Changing technologies have had a great impact on the recording, distribution, and varying profitability of the underground industry.

Although distinct from unauthorized copying ("piracy") and counterfeiting, as it involves material which has never been offered for commercial release, bootlegging is considered infringement in many jurisdictions. The copyrights for the song and the right to authorize recordings often reside with the artist, according to several international copyright treaties. The recording, trading and sale of bootlegs continues to thrive, however, even as artists and record companies attempt to provide "authorized" alternatives to satisfy the demand."

I stand corrected

My point was that it was from the timeframe - 88-90. Surely not from the 1999/Purple Rain era.

Madison88 said:

Bootlegs are unauthorized recordings.In this case,it's a concert from the 'Purple Rain' tour.There are also bootlegs of Prince's unreleased songs,outtakes,demos,alternate versions of released songs,etc.It's illegal to sell and distribute this stuff.
