According to the "elite" traders, it is the for profit bootleg market that is preventing them from sharing their secret collections.

No, this is one of the reasons, and not even the most important one.

Matter of fact, TDF was bought by a bootleg label and then they hired T to clean it up; and then that leaked before the bootleg got released. We've got that fantastic sounding album because a bootleg label spent money.

or the 1989's Rave

"Rave" (and "Harem") originates from a guy who posted on a.m.p that he'd found these two tracks on a tape from his tape trading days. When he posted them we thought they sounded fake... and then weeks/months later Rave is released and it's the same goddamn track.

The one I heard the most pre 4/21/16 was people would be exposed and in trouble, post 4/21 the one I hear the most is that the for profit labels will make money from them.

What would you say are the "reasons", and which do you think is the most important one?

Doesnt it depend on the individual?

One collectors reason for not sharing may be they dont want a boot label to profit, anothers might be because of promises to a friend, somebody elses may be because they think they can use the stuff to trade for more stuff, Yet another persons reason may be purely selfish and because they want to feel special

I highly doubt they all get together in a room and draw up a list with the most important reason at the top

Good point and fair enough. I guess I'm merely referring to the "reasons" I see repeatedly stated here in this forum as I agree with you that not everyone has the same motivations.

You're welcome, everyone. Especially to King Sausage: without me you would not have had your fave (un2 the joy fantastic).

Accordingly to what I just heard...

It has a pristine "101" with Prince on vocals.

Man, forget it. I'm sorry Sheena, but this is some serious shit, way, way above your version.
And I don't mean just the vocals. The mix is magnificent.
Joey Coco outdid himself. What an atmosphere.

It's 1987 all over again.

8 cds of unrelased "assuming uncircuated" outtakes sounds too good to be true.

That would truley be the unexpected. I thought for sure it be soundboards.

but if its really outtkes.
101 sounds like a good start.. Release it

I think it's highly likely it will have a full good quality versions of Big Tall Wall and We Can Funk (86 version)

The "We Can Funk (86 version)" I have on the old SAB H20 bootleg is perfect quality, on par with the vault tracks released on the Purple Rain Expanded.

I don't know if later releases included it in the same quality (from what I remember even in the marvelous "Box Of Chocolates" release it was less clear than on H20).

You're right, sorry.

Between SAB, Moonraker and TB I make always confusion.

noo....No....

The mix is only a unclean snare and kickdrum, same keys and missing several sound effects. Say what you want but...Sheena really put the emotion and strength in 101. This is just a guide.
