Didn't Prince release an album (or double album) of just samples for djs and others to mix with for free no royalty fees? what was it called? is it still available?

thanks

I think you are asking about this project:

No. It was supposed to be 7 disks, for $700. Nothing but a commercial ever came of it. It was never released, and the only samples that ever came out were the ones in the commercial. That was released inthe NPGMC days.

I stumbled across this one time. I'm not sure where it came from but I think its the most that ever leaked of that project.

I think i heard those 'leaked' samples, but to my ears they can easily be sourced from the actual songs (including remixes etc). so i am a bit suspicious that they are fake.

I had them more than 10 years ago and lost them somehowx but IIRC the sounds were totally isolated, making them genuine leaks. I thought they had been posted on the website for promo reasons but I guess not.

They're not fake.

A lot of people do not seem to realize that it is not possible to isolate a track from a song without the original multitrack and this often leads to confusion regarding samples or remixes being genuine or not.

That's because they're morons who assert their own pseudo-intulectual ego over facts.

More like they just don't know how music is being made. It may seem obvious to folks like us who either have been/are musicians and/or totally passionate about music, but lots of people don't really know much about the technical aspects. Even I don't know shit by comparison to a dude like Militant for example.

as i recall

All these samples add up to about a minute more or less
