. Yes, but they got this from someone. If that someone had put the songs up online, you could thank that person and not thank a 'company' profiting. . That's the point. Support people sharing bootlegs, don't support people proffiting from bootlegs when there's no need other than greed. .

Do fans of any other artist operate the way fans of Prince's do with regard to boots / unreleased music? "I like to watch." | |

. Sigh... Look, these people are doing you a huge favor: they're informing you that legendary unheard track X does actually exist and is circulating amongst a select few. And that there is even more stuff doing the rounds, sometimes tracks not even cataloged anywhere. . That YOU get jealous of that, is YOUR problem. © Bart Van Hemelen

. Depends on the artist. Some years ago a bunch of NIN fans collected an amount of money and paid that to a musician who'd said in interviews that he'd worked on unreleased remixes for a NIN track back in the early 1990s and that he still had it on DAT. The money convinced him to liberate said tracks. The result: http://www.nin.wiki/Recoiled (check the "Uncoiled" section at the bottom). . But Reznor has always been cool about boots etc. and has even provided sources (e.g. GBs of raw footage from three concerts). They've even had press releases that linked to fan captures of gigs etc. © Bart Van Hemelen

How are they doing anyone a favour if we aren't ever going to hear them? Even if it I did classify it as a favour, it's nowhere near a huge one. I'm not jealous, it's good for those guys, I just don't see how the community at large is helped by this information. RIP | |

That's cool. Thanks for your comments and info, Bart. "I like to watch." | |

There's definitely people who would rather that we share info, than not. Folks like BorisFishpaw, T, BigChick, Neversin, Revolution81, Mindbells9 and others have shared tons and tons of info about uncirculating stuff over the years.
I get not everyone feels that way, and it's different without Prince here. "Wally" has such hype around it thanks to the backstory of it, that it's a bit different, I guess. But there are still people that want to learn.
Even when the clip leaked, people started just plain making stuff up. More than one person said "oh, it's just the same song as Billy's Sunglasses" - no it's not. It has nothing in common with that except for the the reference to sunglasses. Musically the two songs have ZERO in common. Neither lyrically, other than that line. |

Point taken. To be honest, I don't think you're a jerk or anything. This whole boot-thing has me extremely frustrated and pissed off. But like Bart said, that's on me. "I like to watch." | |

It sounds like you have Wally...that Wally actually exists.

Yes Wally exists and is real, at least, the re-recorded version is. I don't have it but the 'elites' do. There was a small snippet released a few months ago though. RIP | |

I agree, Joey. The only thing I charge for sharing is a smile. 😊 "I like to watch." | |

After reading the whole thread, this is still the most salient point. Leaks can be shared anonymously. . I reasonably ask elite traders to liberate their treasures, anonymously, for the simple reason of sharing Prince's unique talent with all the rest of us - his fans. . Elite traders have the opportunity now, with the state of the estate, to play a unique role in deepening the legacy of Prince. Music is life - elite traders have an opportunity to enhance the lives of fellow fans immeasurably. . Eternal thanks to all the people who have leaked the things we common collectors have access to. You are the actual life blood of Prince's serious fandom, and you have allowed me to see a picture of Prince far, far deeper than his commercial releases portrayed. . Elite traders.. won't you help continue this? And take it to a whole other level by sharing at least some of the treasures you have?

As much as I agree with you, your comments are falling on deaf ears. It'll be business as usual until Eye or Sab get some goodies and release a boot. Then it will be all 'f**k Eye' and 'f**k Sab'. [Edited 6/28/17 14:23pm] "I like to watch." | |

I think collectors should share all of the rare shit with everyone and stop keeping it amongst the "elite fans". What makes you guys so special anyway? | |
