How long is it since a previously unheard outtake appeared on a boot? It seems 2 me that labels are just repackaging stuff that's been out there years.Anyone?

There r no more thieves in the temple...

Yup, Prince solved a lot of his 'leakage' problems
around 1997ish.

And btw - GOOD FOR HIM for evidently figuring out an effective way of preventing people from stealing from him and abusing his trust.

There are several. Check these ones out that have recently surfaced:

'A Capella'[from 1976]
'Erotic City'#3 [unedited version]
'Data Bank'#2 [Prince vocal]
'Superfunkycalifragisexy'[unedited version]
'Elephants And Flowes' [same as the well known demo but longer than previously available]
'Exploding All Over Europe'[over 10 minutes long]
'Race'#2 [unedited version]
'Eye Hate U'[over six minutes long]
'Acknowledge Me'#2 [over a minute longer than the version on 'Crystal Ball']
'The Exodus Has Begun'#1
'Come On'[remix - very similar to the Hypermix]

I can't remember the others, but there are at least a dozen more newly circulating trax from all eras, but none beyond 1997.

I presume the majority of these newer ones are just tracks that people had, but were not circulating, and now the price was right?

Damn! How'd this thread turn up again? Posted it ages ago and it died a death. Ah well thats the org 4 U!

Yes, all the new boots that have surfaced recently are
all still 'old' tracks. There are practically no post-
1997 outtakes circulating.
