Just 2 questions 2 all of u :

- Is there any1 here who has EVERY (or really almost every) studio song ever released by Prince and/or bootleggers (Turn It Up version 2.0, eye guess, is the best way 2 b sure u do). If such a person xist, eye sincerly would like 2 get some stuff from him/her.

- & by the way, what about a "looking 4" section on P.org, like people aking "eye'm looking 4 such track, anybody has it ?". Eye'm sure we could create a great xchange community, & if we xchange the MP3 via emale, WITHOUT using dis website 2 do it, eye don't think P.org would b subject 2 law problems with Prince.

What do y'all think ?

Ooooh. Your going to be in so much trouble.
Ian won't let a section for bootlegs exist because it will go against the rules. I do agree with you that it would be nice just to post something if your trying to find some outtakes, but somehow I don't think it going to happen.

Eye don't think eye have 2 b in any trouble JUST 4 xpressing an i-d, but eye just reminded dat it's not permitted 2 ask 4 outtakes here.

STILL...

- We could still do it 4 officially released trax (& there r a LOT of them).

- Anyway, what about creating a mailing list which would NOT b related 2 p.org or any website, neither have any legal responsible, & us dis mailing list 2 do what eye proposed, with both boots & official stuff ?

What do y'all think ?

I'm always looking for people to trade stuff with. So if there was some way of contacting a person to ask about a certain song or cd, for a trade. I think that would be a good idea. But it would take a bit of time to gather all names and how would we contact someone if we are not going to use the org.
What would be a better idea, is if there was a section on the org that we could just leave our name for contacting in regards to trading. Then people would feel comfortable knowing that it would be just the org community that your dealing with.

I forgot something. Maybe you should put your idea in the Prince.org section and see what Ian says.

Actually, eye know there is a possibility 2 create mailing lists with maybe Yahoo or Hotmail: people can put themselves on it, & each time 1 member of the mailing list community post an emale, every1 receives it, so dis way every1 would know dat some1 is looking 4 such song, & can contact him personnally (am eye nuts or r we the only 2 people intersted with such a thing ? Nobody else answers.)

althom said:

Eye will do dis 2morrow, & also ask him if it's OK 2 discuss dis or if dis topic is an offence 2 the rules. Eye know the rule about bootlegs has been made 2 protect dis website & eye respect it cuz eye don't want p.org 2 b in any trouble. Still, my question was as much, if not even more 4 official stuff, cuz some songs or versions r very rare, & not even on sharewares.

Any1 else interested in dis topic or does everybody xept us 2 have EVERYTHING P ever released ?

Peace y'all.

Count me in

count me in too.

i think all u BOOTLEGGERS are sucking the life out of
1) Prince
2) Being a Prince fan in general
3) the org

BOOTLEGGERS plz go elsewhere

A bootlegger is some1 who MAKES boots, as far as eye know we only buy'em. Anyway fact is dat they do xist, & do u dare 2 say dat u only have official stuff in ur collection ? U would b the only 1 here, eye think. &, eventually, sharewares now make us able 2 get 'em without givin' $$$ 2 any1, so nobody is makin' profit on the back of Prince anymore !

Still, u have 2 understand eye created dis topic 4 official stuff as much as other stuff. Eye mean, even with sharewares, eye still can't find rare stuff like the xtended version of The Dance Electric by Andre C., or the remixes of TMBGITW dat were included on the japanese maxi only, or again the japanese Special Mix of Love On A Blue Train, etc... & we always c here people asking things like "how can eye find Madhouse albums or Goldnigga ?", etc... which proves even the official stuff is looked 4 by many people...

Anyway, right now eye'm travellin' in China, but as soon as eye come back, eye'll create dis mailing list. Or if some1 wants 2 do it b4, please do it & let us know...
