If I had known anyone who had it, I wouldn't have bought it either. It's the only Prince bootleg I ever paid money for. Luckily I had a close friend who was a prince fanatic. She had tons of prince boots and took me to a store on the north side of Chicago that sold all kinds of prince boots and videos. It was through her that I found out people were selling this type of stuff through the mail as well. Really? I live on the North Side of Chicago y i think, i hope u r talking of the same record store that was on Morse! If it is, wow! There, my first boot was Dirty Mind, upset cuz it was outtakes y not a concert but i bought more boots from there like Dreams, The Avenue, Miles 2 Nowhere! Lol!

The Black Album cassette from a guy selling them from a stand on St. Mark's Place in the East Village, NYC. When I played it at home, side two only had one channel working so I went back and the seller gave me another copy. I think it was the sped up version. | |

To the ones complaining about the crappy sound, for some songs it's absolutely part of the charm.
The real "Joy In Repetition" has that distorsion and hiss from the very start the bass tom kicks in, with the delay that fades into this spooky organ sound. When the guitar solo unravels, it has to distort, it sound more better when it's harsh.
Graffiti Bridge came out, not to mention the ridiculous copy-pasted Alphabet St. intro, I was like, what the fuck ?
The only ones "clean" versions that pass the test are "Wonderful Ass" and "All My Dreams". But they're still 24bit .flac from a vinyl source, so technically speaking it ain't a digital master (thank God when you know what the Warner CD masterizers have done to his back catalog).

Back in 1988,I didn't even know how to find a bootlegger I had this crazy idea that I would see a bootlegger on the street,whispering to me "Psst.....come here...you want a copy of the Black Album?".
I was able to find a copy through a Prince fanzine that I was into at the time.I asked a member where I could find it,and she taped me a copy which I paid for.

The "Parade" boot at Wembley with Ron Wood and Sting, not to mention some ridiculous moron that thought blowing a whistle was something everyone wanted to hear during every song. | |

Are you talking about the alternate version - the one with the awesome bass line kicking off the song? Have you heard that version?
Although that bass line is so very, very simple, it is my favorite bass line in all his catalogue. I hope you get to hear it! | |
