my mom just bought one online for $86 and it has 21 tracks is that real or no

No. There were only two configurations - a 15-track and a 16-track. The 21-track probably has the 2gether EP tacked on and is a fake.

It's a real boootleg.

As mentioned already, yes it's a bootleg.

must make a note of this

Please folks, before spending that kind of cash on a Prince item, come here and ask questions. There are unbelievable amounts of fake/counterfeit/bootleg Purple stuff. Combine that with Prince's large, varied catalog, withdrawn and out of print items - it makes for a lot of confusion.

I think purplemaniac1992 will enjoy that disc anyway because it's probably excellent sound-wise. Many of us just hate to see someone get screwed by unscrupulous sellers.

Wow! $86...

Whenever I see a fake Gold Nigga on eBay I report it, I'm not usually the type to interfere but when I see people getting ripped off it annoys me.

i totally got gyped didnt I? i feel so stupid because i saw that it was $86 on madhouse music and so i rushed my mom to buy it before i researched and now im stuck with it....i might try and sell it later i have no idea but i am so sad that i got took and im only 17 stupid move on my behalf

Most of us have done things like that. Chalk it up to a lesson learned. Maybe somebody would do a trade with you. I would be up-front about it being a counterfeit, though. If it's a silver, it still has some worth to collectors.
