Whoever you are... THANK YOU

Yep! Thanks

I wonder why Feel U Up wasn't segued with Irresistible Bitch: they just work together as a single track, it's a damn pity.

American In Paris was released alongside Our Destiny and Lust U Always alongside Vicky Waiting, it's pretty obvious that all the tracks come from the same guy(s), meaning that at least a 3rd volume is in the works.

Whoever you are... THANK YOU

<troll>Mmmh, maybe Prince has something to do with this...</troll>

It's called Perfect Unreleased Prince and it's 2 volumes of rad. Your Google-fu will get it for you...

Thanks to both of you!! And Google...

No doubt those greedy rip off merchants EYE will have these tracks on a release some time soon.

Wrapped up in pig awful artwork and yours for a large sum of money.

Yes. And I'll DL a copy of their version for free too, so, more power to 'em.

Speaking of Artwork, there doesn't seem to be any with this release... There were with the others... I wonder why?

Haven't had a Prince song on repeat for a while now, love this song!

There is an artwork, though it's kinda weird

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the person(s) behind this release is the same than the one(s) behind the previous ones. They probably know each other, but they're not the same people exactly. For one thing the quality ain't the same, nor is the tracklist as cohesive, and it's not been released by one of our usual "free boots" label. Also, I haven't listened to it yet entirely but it seems that some tracks are the same than on Box Of Chocolate and Parade Demos, from different (lower quality?) source tapes?

Don't take me wrong, this whole thing is bloody cool and I ain't gonna complain about it: whoever leaks all these tapes are my heroes! But it sounds as if either some of the tapes aren't all as low gen as in previous releases, or that the people behind the release weren't able to "remaster" them as efficiently as other "bootleggers" did for previous collections (which, admittedly, requires some technical skills that aren't so easy to acquire: I for one couldn't do it).

Also, considering that this collection covers Prince's whole bootlegged career from 1977 to 1995, I just realized that it's very likely that whoever has these tapes must have TONS of others, and that there may be waaaaaaay more than one more release ahead .

it sure is!

man, 'moonbeam levels' is about the most overrated outtake i've ever heard.

Is there a lossless version of this in circulation? (Mods, please note that I am not asking where to find such a thing - only asking if it exists. The ones I have are in mp3 format.)

So far I've only come across mp3 myself. Hopefully we'll find it in lossless soon.

so does anyone have the tracklist to the connections bootleg yet?

i suppose "american in paris" is on that one?

American In Paris is not on it. It's also not called Connections.

What is on it would be versions either in better/best quality, unedited, and correct pitch for:

Baby Go Go

Go

Fuchsia Light

The Line (complete, not rehearsal take we're used to)

The Max (1988)

Our Destiny

Lust U Always (stereo)

Baby You're A Trip

Computer Blue (14m)

All Day All Night

There's also already-familiar perfect versions of Data Bank, Witness, etc.

I take it the other tracks you don't list are already out there in equal or better quality on other circulating bootlegs?

smoothcriminal12 said:

It's out there.

Not great quality, but it's alright.

I don't know what I'm thinking right now...pretty mediocre. Needs a couple of listens.

Yeah, I find Go to be mediocre at best. The quality isn't especially impressive either.

That said, I'm digging the hell out of this version of The Line. I've always loved the other versions out there, don't remember hearing this one before. It's slammin!

Any lyrics? What era? Is it about anything in particular?

Unofficial song for sports day the Olympics?

This song Splash, Adonis & Bathsheba and some other including Girl have a feel like they could have been an album together

What's more curious is why smooth says its not great quality because "Go" is in damn near CD quality (as are all the ones I listed, including Baby You're A Trip which has always suffered from terrible hiss).

Agree with your assessment of BYAT, this sounds great!

Wow! Some great stuff on here. Worth the search. Thanks to whomever set them free!

This is probably the best versions of "High fashion-mutiny' previous versions were muddy sounding

But this still comes ina bit low

Never mind its pretty much the same

No doubt. That has got to be the dumbest opening line from any song. Of course he didn't know where to begin. He's a pop musician with a little more depth than most, not a writer. That's like me saying, "Yesterday I tried to make a hydrogen bomb, but I didn't know where to begin." No shit.

I like the chorus, though.

Help me out here: Which track did he end up re-using the chant from The Line on? I can't place it right now.

i think this is my favorite of the "new" songs , even with the little blips

No, sorry -- I should have been more specific. Not Bonnie's part, but the "Yip yip yo!" heard at the beginning of this version.

mushmackalenta said:

I would say this set has by far the bestsounding version of Baby Your a trip on it, almost perfect, no hiss at all. Also Moonbeam levels sounds a little bit better compared to the version from The work. Old friends and purple music are lower quality, but old friends has a count in not on the this version I already have. [Edited 7/26/12 10:38am]

I'm pleased with The Ball as well. Its still ain't up to par quality-wise, but it sure as hell beats the circulating version IMO, at least I could hear some of the things in the mix right now.

Fuchsia Light is a terrific song. My fav so far.

Grabbing these now. Which Computer Blue is it?
