1) Don't Bother
2) Asking About
3) My Vault music
4) You'll have to pry them
5) From My Cold Dead Hands
6) And Larry's
7) So join my Lotusflower site
8) And I'll take $77
9) Of your hard earned
10) Recession stricken hands
11) And promise you a T-Shirt
12) But never send one...

Are any of these circulating?

You are still talking about Larry?

He's touring on his own now for F-'s sake. Hardly in Prince's pocket. Nor was he when Prince lived in L.A and he remained in Minneapolis.

OperatingThetan said:

It was obviously a joke. But I blame Larry for you not getting that.

^Absolutely nothing to do with CB#2

vitriol said:

and you know this how? several of the songs sampled are on that track list . . .

cosmicday2010 said:

They were from a warners sampler cassette that was sent round to pitch prince penned songs to other artists.

I heard that too, but there has never even been a photo of this cassette or documentation etc. This resides in the land of myth.

What artist other than Prince will attempt to sing Adonis and bathsheeba or Big House or what use is the instrumental to another artist?

Well, that's just an assuption of yours, and -even worse- based on absolutely nothing.

So, you need a photo of that cassette to believe the story? Funny!
[Edited 3/28/10 16:19pm]

^Well, that's again your opinion.

I won't go into further details of that tape and the REST of its content.

This is not the place for such a discussion.

Let's leave it there, after adding that even those few short samples were not intended for circulation. But there's quite a few self-made heroes in Princeland...

vitriol said:

a Prince forum isnt the place for discussion? If the tape was sent from WB to industry officials . . they wouldn't expect it to leak? This is getting more ridiculous and far-fetched.

And the Larry Graham shit is old and tired.

vitriol said:

a cassette that indicates its a sampler from Warner bros. with labelled tracks . . . call me an "I need the fact/evidence" kind of guy.

Its just as much an assumption as your story is . . .

sure is. every time I hear him pop up on Peace or Every Day Is A Winding Road or any number of Prince songs, I think the same thing.
