NO TROLL THREADS! NO SOLICITING FOR BOOTLEGS! Discussion is fine, so long as the bootleg is not being promoted e.g. pre-release; requests/offers to share or copy, and links to download or bootleg sites are not. Posting Prince and associated artist videos from sites such as YouTube is also not allowed. Posts of this nature will be deleted and repeat offenders will be first warned, and then banned. Troll threads, fake tracklists, and attention seeking rumor threads will be also be swiftly dealt with. These rules are strictly enforced!


*************************

A longer, uncirculating and better quality of the "Purple Music" piano rehearsal (along with 2 jams) is out there. Very nice to hear Prince just noodling around with just his piano!

There's also the version of "Purple Rain" with only piano and strings that's out there, again in a better quality than the version we had that was filled with hiss.

There's now a complete version of the rehearsal piano version of "Wednesday" with a longer ending.

Also a clear version of "Wet Dream Cousin" with no noise reduction/modification from Eye Records is out there as well.

A slightly different mix of the "extended version" of "I Would Die 4 U" is out.

Is this legit better source or just fanmade improvement from what already existed?

Nah, this is a new source from what we had a couple of years ago. And there's more coming. So expect more edits from my last post.

Uncirculating rehearsals of "The Beautiful Ones" and "When Doves Cry" are out as well.

REALLY?!!!

Is Eye releasing something new?

[Edited 5/12/18 18:41pm]

These leaks are not related to Eye Records. They were obtained by a private collector.

By the way, a better quality of "Electric Intercourse" (from the classic rehearsal that's been circulating for a while) is out now.

Yeah, actually there were more leaks but some of them were already circulating in a better quality.

Didn't Appollonia come out last night & say that this was a fake CD....I think Face Book got giddy as there was a wholly new song on there?

the piano jam improvisation on Purple Music (19 mn .26 s) is PURE JOY my friend & the sound is So GREAT !!

"Fake" as in bootleg, or "fake" as in NOT Prince? I haven't listened to all of it yet (busy with Mother's Day) but what I've heard is for sure not "fake".

Someone said they provided a link to Apollonia of a piano recording on Mixcloud, and she said it was not the tape Prince had given her (the 'Poppa's Song' tape he recorded at Sunset Sound on February 7, 1984 to help her sleep). She didn't say the recording was fake, just that it wasn't the one Prince gave her. As it stands currently, there are three piano rehearsals/jams circulating among fans:

.

-> 1982 piano session (31:30)

1. Improvisation #1

2. Improvisation #2

3. Purple Music

.

-> 1983 piano session (36:07)

1. 17 Days

2. Purple Rain

3. A Case Of You

4. Mary, Don't You Weep

5. Strange Relationship

6. International Lover

7. Wednesday

8. Cold Coffee And Cocaine

9. Mama

.

-> February 7, 1984 Sunset Sound session ("Poppa's Song" for Apollonia) (16:01)

1. Father's Song

2. Venus De Milo

3. Unknown

4. God

5. Raspberry Beret

6. You're My Love

7. Wednesday

8. Do Me, Baby

9. Moonbeam Levels

10. Unknown

Alright guys, more stuff is expected to come today. This is just "the beginning"... By the way, the person who's leaking all this stuff [Snip - luv4u] isn't related to the "Elites" nor "Eye Records". He got all of this from a private collector, except the "Wednesday" rehearsal and the "Electric Intercourse" live version which came from two different persons. Just wanted to make it clear.

Yeah, unfortunately 30 seconds of silence interrupts the song but otherwise it’s a great rehearsal. By the way, a new rehearsal containing « G-Spot » / « I Would Die 4 U » / « Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got » is out right now.

Oh God, what you’re doing to me... search commences haha.
