hello everyone.

long story short, i want to rediscover Prince's Music, meaning go back and listen to all the albums in there entirty (spelling? lol)

but i want to get the absolute MOST out of them. what i mean by that, is i want to not only rediscover the album, but also see live performances and tours from each era, and some really good boots..

if any of you have some free time, could you possibly list a few bootlegs(film), and bootlegs (music) to go with each album..

i know it sounds like a lot, nut PLEEEEAAASSSEEEEE

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT ASKING ANYONE WHERE TO GET BOOTLEGS, IM JUST WANTING PEOPLE WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM TO LIST SOME GOOD ONES THAT GO WITH EACH ERA.

THANKS!

Get 'City Lights' and you'll pretty much have the 80's wrapped up.

What do you mean volumes? I know they have a cd for each tour..DM through SOTT or is it Parade guys?

Re:Volumes, I think you are talking about The Work ..thats just outtakes upon outtakes

Cany be arsed listing specific boots for each album as it's late and i'm a little drunk.

Hoever, here are some essential audio boots you need to have...

Work It 2.0. (8 volumes, 34 cd's, fucking, great collection of outtakes)

30 years Of Unreleased Funk (more of the same, with some tracks in better quality)

Box Of Chocolates (essentail as as the air you breath, A+ quality outtakes collection)

Parade Demos (as above)

Husney's A Work In Progress

T's 12 Inch Archive (Top notch 12ich collection all lovingly ripped from vinyl and cleaned up and all the turntable jiggery pokery)

Crystal Ball & The Dream Factory (both Pimpsandwich versions, you need these more than the blood in yer veins)

The Dawn 4.1 (final and best version of this fuckingfantastic 90's collection, all mixed together like a dream, has loads of released and unreleased tracks)

The Exodus Has Begun (Top drawer Exodus outtakes, you ned this if all that is yer liking)

The Undertaker (digital funk bitch's cd rip, enhanced for maximun laldy.

There are a few golden oldie outtake collections like Dreams, Studio Nights and crucial, these are ok but most of it is in better quality now in the above boots.

Live stuff...

The City Lights you mention was originally released by superhero 150 years ago and was a titanic release, then 4DaFunk took some of it ad fixed some things that needed fixing and made them better.

You need...

Columbia '81

Saginaw '82

Providence '83

Probably more but like I said, am tired...

Sabotage records have re hashed the city lights releases with a few extra things and called them "remasters" there are 6 volumes of these (so far), but really....the 4dafuk shit is all ye need.

As for other live stuff.....fuck, it would take all week to list all the good ones, there are hiundreds and hundreds in top drawer quality.

Check here http://main.thedigitalgarden.org/ for titles and tracklists etc

You need all the basic pro shot ones or your life is not complete

These are all great quality pro shot vids...

New York '81

paris '81

The Summit '81

The makings Of Rain

Syracuse & The World

Ahoy Rotterdam EP

Cobo Arena '86

There are literally hundreds of unofficial Prince releases on torrent sites. All available right now without worrying about all that MU shennanigans.

Also, I don't know why people are not re-upping stuff on other sites, there are plenty of other reliable filehosters.

yeah i dont know, i think part of the problem is people might not know how to break rar's into parts and upload things. so when they see an upload request they dont realize how easily they could help out

Ahh yes, I see. A common problem with large files I suppose.

Well, it's easy enough to find out. these sites have forums where you can ask such questions have they not?

Google and YT are also great teachers.

no shit. They need like a national upload day with all the dead mu!

I guess there's not a lot of motivation for most people

I used to upload stuff to a well known boot site, my upload speed is very slow, so a 2 hour Prince show would take a few hours, during those hours, the upload slowed my pc so much I could barely do anything else. Then after it was complete I would be lucky to get 5 thank you's. Shitloads of downloads, but no one could bring themself to type two words to say thanks.

So yeah, lack of motivation could be a factor.

I once uploaded an outtake collection that over it's many discs got over 250 downloads, do you know how many people said thank you? 7, 7 fucking people.

Uploaders don't expect people to bend over backwards in thanks, but two words is not asking a lot is it?

Rant over...

thanks alot you guys!!

im finding most of these but sadly because of MU i cant download them... ugh, this is not easy,lol

Like I said, you need to start using torrent sites.
