100's of songs, instrumentals,different versions,.. Who in his co. leaked these, or was it just the night cleaner with an extra key to his vault? I mean over 400 songs I have never heard.

If we told you that, we'd have to you.

Are you serious? They talking to Bria about his other women, about his business all while hiding their cars and houses?

Well now we know how and why!



Uhm, I'll be hitting you up with a note shortly for some ah insight.

It buggs me to think how much is available....

The lable, freinds...engineers...musicians ect.

I'm about 2 faint...What are u talking about mystery guest.
u got 2 let a brotha know...

That is my fav unreleased track...and that LRC extended mix was slammin'

Prince used to let his studio/home demos go out the door with his associates, band members, girlfriends, the cleaning lady, etc. That's all that's ever really got out - demos. He runs a much tighter ship these days. Prince makes sure to get the soundboard tapes at every show too.

Some things, like the Versace mixes, The 1987 Black Album, various promo-only remixes and mixed-down acetates/test-pressings were placed in the public domain, ultimately ending up on bootlegs for their scarcity.

The reason many boots sound like crap is due to generational tape degradation. A tape of a tape of a tape. Sometimes an earlier generation of those tapes shows up, and we get a substantially better boot.



















Listen closely... here come the people that think Prince leaked his own material and created the bootleg market...

You've just heard 100's of unreleased Prince songs and you come here asking who could have leaked them? Who gives a fuck!!!

The most important (well the second most important) question is ...were they any damn good?

The majority of the ones I have run from his early demos (1976?) to the Batman years, a ton of them and 99.9% are good,

I seriously appreciate the earliest demos/boots prior to 4 U - Dirty Mind
Lisa, Broken, Tick Tick Bang, Leaving 4 New York, Donna, We Can Work It Out, Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me...

That must've taken you a long time to listen to, I hope you took toilet breaks.

Did you get any titles?

People are forgetting to think this person might just be a late bloomer on the bootleg market. They're probably hearing all the stuff we already have. Not new unheard of things.

That's what I was thinking too.....I just keeping the bases covered just in case

...example:...COME ON HYPERMIX (IMPORT SINGLE)..7:58mins..

Neither this or the Little Red Corvette extended mix you mention about are unreleased. You know that, right? So why are you bringing them up in this thread?

TwiliteKid said:

Because that's what she does. Random, LSD induced, noise.

What a privilege!
Wish I had friends like that.

Unfair that it can't be shared

Prince most certainly has been given 'a gift' and that he should free from the Vault

chocolatehandles said:

You don't have ANY boots, is that what you're saying?

ernestsewell said:

No - Only legit stuff all the way back from 1979.
All current music is paid for - no down loads either!

Am I living in a cocoon?

chocolatehandles said:

Sort of.

chocolatehandles said:

Lil bit. Tell us now whatcha heard!

udo said:

I know; you're right - but on the other hand every thing I've got Prince has benefited from.

If you've never heard/played/bought (Prince...) b00tl3gs, you missed at least 2 decades of output. Of course you can try to catch up...

udo said:

I imagine that in the US & Europe bootlegs are more readily accessible.
Most Aussies will agree with me that it was impossible pre internet down-load days.
And right now making ends meet is a bigger priority
So when the kids leave home I'll have some extra cash & I'll catch up then.

chocolatehandles said:

well I've never had to pay
Love is supposed to be free... I guess, so really close Fam 'share'
Even when I got a copy of the Black Album back in 87 it was free,

chocolatehandles said:

You shouldn't pay for bootlegs. Just about everything is available online if you spend enough time with Google.
