My vote goes to the craptastic "Rude Boy" disc... I had this and for years thought was the Holy Grail of Princedom

There have been too many for comfort. Since being able to download from the interweb though it's no big deal if I snare a boot and it's a load of pish, or the quality is shit. However, sticking to certain free labels is what I do now (exept for a few exceptions). That way good quality releases are pretty much the norm.

Happy days.

My original boot of The Black Album (on cassette) was at once amazing (content) and horrendous (sound quality).

Probably the "Live USA" one from Germany, which is basically a CD copy of an LP boot, but re-edited.

Was so cheap that the "silver" in the CD has actually desintegrated.

d&P one. don't own it anymore. it was like live recordings in a club

montreal act 1 tour that i saw came up on a boot board and it was in the lowest quality mp3 possible plus its was a pretty rough audience boot at that and the guy said he would post it in flac later but never did so all i have is this horrible sounding version of a show i actually saw and it drives me nuts cuz it sound like shit and i know the flac would at least be listenable .. other than that i would say that diamonds and pearls rehearsal that has no prince on it .. just the band .. that was a bit disappointing

I think it was called "Chocolate Box". It was a live show but you couldn't make out the songs.

I still have the album.
