See, there are free labels. They release cool stuff every month. In most cases, you can count down from 10 to see either Eye or Sab or both release the same shows with "never seen before glossy booklets" and stuff. It was different back then, but that's how it is now, and that's a shame.

Maybe they take the free stuff, turn the (volume/bass/treble) (up/down) a bit and then press it. Maybe they don't even do this. Fact is they rip the stuff which was (and still is) available for free.

DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY HAVE USED THEIR OWN SOURCES FOR ANY OF THESE RELEASES? REALLY? "Oh wow, that's dull..."

EVERYBODY who's following the bootleg "market" can see that. Everybody knows it, and yes, people can have different opinions on that. But then, there is that little website called Prince.org, and on Prince.org there is that little frustrated troll named Udo asking for "proof proof proof" like a broken record. It's like you say "the sky is blue" and i come and answer "no it's red, unless you give me some proof". Yes, innocent until proven guilty, of course! But there's stuff that's so obvious it don't need no proof except for the blind, deaf and unwilling to acknowledge.

You're making a major clown of yourself that way. Sorry.

You could've said it louder, but you couldn't have said it clearer.

Whatever.

I'm still waiting for your "scientific facts".

You posted a lot of bullshit but you haven't shown your cards yet. So... give a proof that Sab didn't rip of fan releases or shut up.

You stated about the subject of this thread. Now you make the assumption broader.

You err by taking stuff personal as well without ginving any proof over the matter except for restating (like a record...) your 'obvious' facts which are not obvious without proof.

No, they do not get more obvious by writing them in capitals.
You can repeat whatever you want.
You can assume you detect frustration.
But I think something else is true.
So far you did not convince me, so far you did not give us proof. So far you did not reach your goal.
So who should be frustrated?

Because when I as for simple proof, multiple times, and you do not come up with it then there might be no proof.

This thread is going nowhere even though I asked for a simple way of ending the 'discussion'.

Talking about yourself here?

BTW, we should start discussing Vol.4....

They'll sure have the guts to say that it wasn't ripped from FBG releases as well...

But it depends: that Udo guy seems to ignore certain observations that doesn't fit his interests.

Proof has been given and on at least 3 separate occasions by 3 different people (myself included), yet you have completely ignored each example. There's little more to say on the matter so it's down to you to prove otherwise. Which you haven't.

Come on, don't let this thread bury in oblivion!!

I'm afraid Udo still has some questions to anwser...

Nope, i have only had four discs worth out of all the City Lights series before now, a couple from this set and Controversy stuff.

Can you tell me what year this series goes up to?

the original city lights is 1980 to 1986. two shows from 81, two from 82, two from 83, atlanta 85, stockholm 86. this new set is just other soundboards that had nothing to do with the original city lights. the original set were taking from video tapes rumoured to come from a band member. most of the shows are circulating on pro shot video

yeah it Is though to have been bobby, as he was the only one that was in the band in all the shows but not in any of the later tours. Matt was also in the band throughout but was kept on after Parade so the assumption if it was him there would be something from Sign O the Times and Lovesexy on the set as well.

^With that in mind I can only wish that Matt had been the leeker.

What?

Udo has run out of words to defend the undefendable?

Well, maybe Sabotage are waiting for FBG and 4DF to put out some of their astounding sources out before they can continue with 'their' City Lights Disaster.

This is indeed a brave new world.
