Amazon is clueless

Weirdly enough, I want it.

It does look appetizing , doesn't it?

except for "Modernaire",there's nothing really rare on this set.I think most of us have all of these songs already It would have been cool is if they had included some of the instrumental background music that we heard in the film...such as "Possessed".

True...I do have all of these tracks, including "Modernaire". Also "God" (Instrumental) is not on this. Even so it still looks pretty cool as a package.

When did Amazon start allowing bootlegs on their site?http://www.amazon.com/Purple-Rain-Complete-Soundtrack-Recordings/dp/B00COCBGQO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377804075&sr=8-2&keywords=Purple+Rain+original+soundtrack

They aren't selling it directly, its one of their marketplace sellers. I doubt they monitor that very closely.

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS FORUM'S FUNCTIONS!?

You can't tell people where to get the bootleg cd it's against the ORG's rules. (FYI)

If these folks aren't smart enough or don't care enough 2 capitalize of a project such as this.............then let someone who does care do so.

He should've had someone else do the art.

This has been on ebay for a while. I have a saved search of "Apollonia 6 cd" and this comes up almost every day.

30th anniversary of Purple Rain is literally months away. That would be the time to do it.

It's a shame that Prince himself will probably ignore the 30th anniversary.This would be a perfect time for him to come up with a special way to celebrate that career milestone.

I reviewed the item and called it out as a bootleg. Someone has commented on my review claiming that it IS legit. Anyone want to join in in refuting them? Please feel free to add to the comments of my review...

So is this a bootleg or not?!?

I say, of course it is.

But, what's up with this?

This site looks legit. If not, it's certainly a bold move to so brazenly make this set available.

Anyone able to clear this up?

Edit: email WB, waiting for response...

I think a lot of Prince fans have made this exact same compilation give or take LOL. I put "God' in it's proper place after 'The Beautiful Ones', and I included the instrumental of 'Possessed' after 'Modernare'

I guess it all has to do with squabbling with WB's, but it seems like a no brainer that a collection like this could be put together EASY and everyone involved would make a crap load. IDK, guess it's beating a dead horse.

Cheers for the link...it looks very much like a bootleg but that site says it's released under license?! Confusing!

Easy enough: they're lying/bluffing. Obvious bootleg.

U think so? He did manage to celebrate the 20th anniversary with the Musicology Tour and album. He may do something similar next year. IDK.

Thanks for pointing me to this, just bought this, sounds a cool compilation, so I do not have to look through all my various sound files et al... MESSAGE TO PRINCE: CREATE SOME NICE EXTENDED VERSIONS OF YOUR OLD ALBUMS.
