Hello All

Just as a diversion from the tragic (and illegal) events that are taking place in the Middle East (one rule 4 one, another rule 4 the other) at the moment, I've just placed an order for another (expensive) bootleg. Kicking myself yet again because I have exceeded the self-imposed quota I have set myself, I've realised what would prevent me from ever buying another bootleg again...(not including financial ruin)...

...if Prince gave us his word that sooner or later he would release everything he's put on record (rehearsals/shows/outtakes/alternative versions) - that would do it for me!

Maybe we could use our numbers to start an on-line petition politely asking him to do this??

YEAH!!!

I don't buy bootlegs any more, I just download them.

If he started doing that on a regular basis (i.e: a new archive release every three months or so), then I'd happily stop buying boots. In the meantime I'll happily carry on buying them.

100 $ NPGMC
50 $ Crystal Ball
50 $ ONA live retail
100 $ concert ticket
NPGMC retail with horrible oversea postage costs
...

do you REALLY think Prince would sell official bootlegs any cheaper than your favourite bootleg dealer does ?

do you REALLY think Prince could manage to do such things on regular + reliable terms ?

do you REALLY think sending Prince further 100 $ notes in advance is a good idea ?

If so, past has already proven you wrong, hasn't it ?

Why are you paying so much for bootlegs?. I either trade mine or pay someone 5 dollars a piece for them.

1st: what bootleg did u buy?
2nd: why dont u just download them?

Hey no reply?

so i take it these downloads are that good you don't want to share, how sad.

A reminder...

NO SOLICITING FOR BOOTLEGS. You want to discuss them, that's OK, but NO OFFER TO COPY, NO REQUESTS TO COPY, NO "WHERE CAN I GET", etc. NO POSTING OF LINKS TO THESE SITES EITHER. ***Violating posts will be removed and your account possibly deleted.***
