i had my ipod on shuffle and 'The P' came on, so i skipped and 'My Tree' featuring the almighty Robin Powers came on, fortunately, i just finished doing the washing up so chose not to endure it. Got me thinking though, what if Prince decided to put up even songs like those two. Is there a market for these?

I don't think i would personally, i'd be a bit selective.

Can't see this happening, but you never know.

If "Believe" taught me one thing about myself, it's that I can and will get myself all hot and bothered for a 90 sec random Prince jam from the middle 80's. So let me give the answer HELL YES.

Even if it was just the unreleased material that's already widely circulating, but in perfect quality (possessed, neon telephone, Moonbeam Levels, Baby Ur a Trip, etc), I'm pretty sure I'd pay every cent.

Big difference is they're all A+ tracks, the two i mentioned were D- or worse.

In perfect quality and lossless yeah. I wouldn't buy an mp3 of 'My Tree' considering we have it great quality any way, and it's "mediocre".

would buy a mediocre dvd more .. tracks no ..

Well In your opinnion they are D- I have to say I love The P & My Tree/Positive Place, But that's the reason he's great almost everything is loved by someone

Think about an outtake collections like Jewel Box excluding released songs 42 tracks of varying quality. It would cost at $0.88 a track $36.96 (£24 GBP) all in perfect quality

There are people who have payed alot more for what is a collection of varying quality from bootleggers so I'd have no problem buying it straight from Prince classics, mediocre and duds alike.

Yes.

of course! i just bought 3 of them!

Just done the maths and all 34 Discs of Work It 2.0 (562 tracks) would cost $494.56 (£315.79)

You know less than a £1 a day for a year.....mmmmmmmm I would have to seriously think about it but the answer would probably still be yes.

[Edited 2/6/13 13:16pm]

yes, i would

I will buy nothing that is not Lossless. MP3 is a GARBAGE format. Completely worthless. Otherwise I would pay for most of the 80's vault. However, it should be noted that supposedly the leaked tracks are only a small portion of the vault, so there would be a reasonable curiosity factor with the prime vault years .. Prince would have to pay me to listen to any of his recent vault material tho. Those 80's vault songs are pretty much gold .. I have no doubt there is more great stuff to be heard.

Ditto. Did I miss an outtake somewhere?

No, I would only buy the ones that I really like!

Speaking of that, I find it a bit weak/annoying that you can't have a listen first on 3rdeyegirl.

I am definately not going to buy endless streams of weak/mediocre songs just because it is Prince, especially not if they are just mp3. I will pay happily for good quality songs in wav format.

I'm a completist, i'll buy any song as long as i can afford it.

And i kinda dig mediocre vault tracks, they show a work in progress and that's what makes me a completist

:nod

as long as they're at a rapid pace and match my schedule without being too frugal.

Don't complain. The NPGMC was selling tracks to members for 0.77 cents a track.

Heck, that means the price has only jumped by 0.11 cents

Nice list above..

Welcome 2 The Ratrace ???

That's not a Prince title

Misspelling from a bootleg..

I'd pay $37 for that. In nothing less than 320k/s mp3 though. I would prefer flacs but 320s will do. I think you're all getting your hopes if you're expecting any of the classic vault material though. I'd like to be wrong, however.

Be thankful for what we are receiving.

Who knows how long this purple high will last.

id pay to see that 3121 movie thing .. dug that trailer .. where is it what was that n did it get made into something more than a trailer ..

i would absolutely buy them!! Please release them!!
