If Prince was just cynically grabbing your $'s... by releasing any old stuff he could throw out there. Irrespective of quality, how would you feel?
Happy to buy? disappointed? New stuff, old stuff, vault stuff, or the best he can be right now? what would you like?  |

Quality would matter a bit. I wouldn't want a 3rd or 4th generation track. I have those. They're called bootlegs. If it was still the same quality as when he recorded them, albeit analog or digital, then fine. Make sure it sounds good, and I'll buy it. Old stuff, pre1996, preferably. | |

I'd love Crystal Ball II, if he'd let the fans pick as i believe was the original idea, that'd be great. His current business model is pants though, he needs to rethink it. Not being disparaging to his religion, but it's restricting his artistry, no sweary songs from the vault etc. Oh well.  |

He dropped the ball on that one. He told Larry King he wanted to "clean up" the bootleg market a bit. He took one swipe w/ a paper towel and called maid service after that (ie his lawyers). | |

You've seen lotusflow3r.com right? Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

Are you implying he isn't doing exactly that right now?
Are you implying he isn't ashamed of some of his old material? Are you implying he still has some old material left? Are you implying that exactly that would be worse than the current situation? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Are you answering a question with a question? Are you thinking this is Jeopardy? Am I going to eek out another question or two? Do I think I can, of course I do, right?  | |

Are you answering a question with a question? Nope. Just trying to get som context here. Are you thinking this is Jeopardy?
Which is? (not all of us are from the anglo-saxon backgrounds) Am I going to eek out another question or two?
Already running out? Do I think I can, of course I do, right?
No, not really. That was a fail. But can we please try to get a good grip of what we can assume and expect before we answer the main question? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

You preface this with "IF"?

So you assume that the topicstarter unwillingly implies that he (P) is not cynically grabbing? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
