Been to a couple and hosted a couple myself, but only for close friends...

Talking trades afterwards is fun.

Kinda, but there used to be a mandatory clothes check so no one could have any secret recording devices. But it just got too akward, with everyone being nude. Except the rule applies when discussing uncirculating "Nude" Tour soundboards. The mandatory clothes check is enforced for that.

Bootleggers screening for recording devices - Life immitating art.

Why dont these collectors just share what they got with the rest of the fan base? Is it an elitist thing? Does it give a feeling of self importance to be keeping such material to themselves? Is it a small penis thing? Is it retribution for being bullied at school for dressing like Prince? If I had in my hands a collection of outtakes unheard by anyone before, the first thing I would do is spread the love with the fans. Why not?

I showcase my private bootleg collection for my cats all the time. They lick their butts. That probably makes them better company than those asshole elitist hoarders.

I assume because some people have things that they shouldn't have and are only one or two steps removed from prince's camp. If they were to share it then the leak would be known immediately. Would you share something that would a) get a friend in trouble and b) stop you from ever getting anything from that person again?

That's not the only reason. The other reason many people don't share is that they'd like all people who have rare stuff to share what they have. But Prince collectors can be really assholes, mean and liars. So other collectors will have stuff you just freed, but you will never get a chance to get what they have and they'll laugh in your face. Trust me wink

Back in the late 80s I bought an NTSC playback VHS PAL recorder which allowed me to watch US taped videos here in Australia.
So I was one of the first to have the old 7th Ave and other live shows on tape.
I couldn't make copies of them at the time, so I used to have Prince Movie nights with other P fans.
Bourbon and popcorn. lol

Good times. cool

That would make sense except they are holding listening parties and talking trade afterwards. So not exactly protecting their source really. Its more a case of whispering to someone "ill tell you a secret but dont tell anybody" who then goes to someone else and says "ill tell you a secret but dont tell anybody"... and so on. I say fuck 'em, stop whispering secrets to each other and let us all in on it... Prince's declining fanbase are the only ones who seem interested in preserving his legacy. So let the stuff out so it can be heard, documented and catalogued for prosperities sake. Because it wont be long before there is no one around to care...

Now THAT's the kind of shit I'd like to hear!

What is it?
An uncut version of "Marz" with a verse that goes all Obama-bashing?
A version of "Wonderful Ass" renamed "Wonderful Cunt"?

We need the sock!
We need the excitement!

I think listening parties is too big a definition. It is usually people having someone over to listen to something rare, most of the time to prove they have it for trading purposes. That is why you talk trading afterwards with the people invited. It's definitely not a real party biggrin

Can I play With U ? In Clear quality?

The short version? I've only heard in muddy quality before. which boot is this on? Is this a clean up version or an original source, Internet only leak.

There have been some very good clean up versions popping up over the last few days?
someone hipped me to some.

But for this to be clear I don't believe a clean up would do that to what was already the best source.

Get Wild Prince vocal I found ages ago but it was not even audible, just dreadful.

Imagine the whole exodus album with Prince vox. If Get
Wild is out why is it not on the new (waste of space) blast. maye vol4?

I heard gold May 94 con fig is about to leak? nothing new but from a test pressing. that would cool. I always liked that config.

Release the damn stuff already! There's no point in hiding that stuff anymore since Prince will most likely never release his vault material due to his declining fan base. Wake up you damn elitists!!

I LOVE getting to hear songs that have never been widely circulated, but I'd love just as much to get clean copies of what has already been widely circulating for years.
