I'll just have to salivate over all your comments. I did try the whole torrent thing once but gave up. It seemed so hit and miss, maybe I am just lazy lol

We can funk... Well am I the only one 2 think the Graffiti Bridge version is more accomplished ? Maybe it's just because I discovered it with this album ? I agree that original Can't stop this feeling is stronger...

To me they are two completely different songs, I discovered the chocolate one first back in the days and I fell in love with it, but I do also like the Graffiti Bridge version, it's just another song to me (and Clinton's on it...)

Now I'm grooving to Girl O' My Dreams/Can't Stop (love this version!) while I'm typing. biggrin

looking forward to a Wonderful Ass before bed but then that's nothing new sad

What the Prince version of A Place in Heaven, or ANY version of A Place in Heaven? If that's the case, get your arse into gear and find Dream Factory, pronto. Amazing album, you won't be disappointed smile

Isn't it fantastic though? I just get caught in the basslines of so many of these tracks, they're fantastic.

blah blah blah

Well on Dream Factory, it's Lisa on lead vocals. Makes a nice companion to Prince's version. Might be worth giving it a spin after you've finished with Box o Chocolates.

cool

*All of a sudden the Roadhouse Rehearsal footage became widely available all of a sudden on youtube

Someone "all of a sudden" uploaded it , you or I could do the exact same and have it live for the world to see in a couple of hours. The footage itself has been circulating widely for a LONG TIME.

Bootlegs are released on CD/download regularly, this being one of them. The "catalog" number FBG29, denotes it is not the first time this label has released something, unless you're saying Prince is behind all the others too.

The tracks on BOC aren't perfect, why would Prince clandestinely release audio tracks in low-generation quality, to known bootleggers, so they could put this out there for free. He has his own subscription based website where he could charge MONEY for putting them out there himself in perfect quality.

emilio319 said:

What's so hard to believe that Prince is behind SOME of these???

It's not a case of belief, there's simply no evidence, besides being entirely unlikely and illogical - I'd guess some folks here know the people behind these releases, they're fans after all.

Think about it.

Normally, I wouldn't question this, as what you say is absolutely right, and we KNOW Prince didn't put this out.
However, re the bit I've put in bold:
He has his own website where he could charge Money for putting videos out. So it's not like he'd give videos, of say, his Montreux performance to third parties to put on the internet...

I would rather be a full-time "fluffer" at a rhino insemination facility than give up my Box O Chocolates.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I was under the impression that the whole 'Fluffer' thing was just a myth and that there was no such thing, can anyone confirm this? does anyone know some that has been one or been one themselves? cool

I do know a lot, but they'd never speak about it in public. That's probably the main thing seperating fluffers from Prince's web designers. [Edited 4/9/10 17:45pm]

I forgot that was there. No wonder PhotoBucket sacked my account for bandwidth usage. I guess folks have been hotlinking that gif all over the place. lol

Just when you thought this thread was dead. Leave it to the Squirrel to resuscitate it.

Well if he's going down with the ship, I'll come along for the ride.
