This isn't new though is it? I think I got this about a year ago. Same tracklist and everything. The artwork on my iTunes shows Prince pointing towards his crotch. Is this a revamped version of that?


It's new. The artwork and track list surfaced a while ago though.

These leaks are our best chance of new decent music. No faith in the estate delivering anytime soon.

I’m going to be travelling (without a computer) for the next six weeks, so knowing my luck the gates are just about to open and we are just talking be flooded with new leaks I won’t be able to listen to...
Now, on a serious note, the estate will be irrelevant very soon if they don’t sort themselves out. I had most of these songs but just the upgrade in sound makes it more interesting for me than the 83 Piano thing that they are going to release...

Weird. I actually have it though. I got it nearly a year ago. Mind you, the sound quality is awful. I'll check out this new leak and see if it's different.

All of the tracks already leaked / released in the past on diffrent sets

A few tracks on this complation are slightly diffrent versions then the old leaks.

Quality on all tracks are better on this release

And I descend from grace, In arms of undertow
I will take my place, In the great below

Didn't someone compile this from existing tracks when the artwork leaked? I seem to have a vague memory of such. Glad to hear this one is a rip of the actual CD.

thank you so much for this music whoever you are biggrin I really wish this was released in 1995! Can you imagine this coming out after the Come album as an adjunct to TGE and Exodus! That would have been awesome
[Edited 7/18/18 4:03am]

Four Prince albums in a year's time? You must be joking! But it would have been a nice album. Another one in the "nothing ground-breaking, but still nice to hear" category. And the "no more, that's the end" in Dinner With Dolores would all of a sudden make a whole lot more sense.

I guess that would been easy enough to do.
Great to have in this quality of course.
Surprised he put I’ll Never B Another Fool on this, bearing in mind the lyrics!

Yes this is the kind of stuff we want them to release and what bothers me is that they are aware of it and yet they don't care

Wow, this is really cool! Too bad of the CD scratches at the beginning of the disc but still great!


I noticed that in a few places. Wondering if one of the "mastering" wizards could fix such a thing?

If they have Poorgoo in soundboard, they must have the whole show.... That would be a cool release!!


That would be totally amazing and off the scale!!!

This was such an awesome show. We were all so very tighly packed in the audience and it was so very hot. We waited for Prince for ages, but it was worth the wait.

I remember Mayte all night did the same repetitive dance move over and over... she looked knackered, particularly as it was so hot in there!!!


lol lol lol



Do you remember when she crowd surfed? I was right at the front, and at over 6 foot, found myself passing her back by the (Forest Gump voice) b-u-t-t-o-c-k-s.

This makes me realize that Playtime and Emancipation (the song) are connected at the hip. So many common elements. This is a great little compilation.

The sound effect running through Playtime is the same used throughout the "Interactive" game. It's interesting as Princevault shows it recorded in 1995.

I find this version of 18 & Over very interesting compared to the Crystall Ball version.

Certainly from 4:45 mins musically it's different and Prince has removed the woman saying, 'Let's Do It'.

Very nice!!!!

The Estate probably don't even know what this music is and that there's any demand among fans for it. There's no credible fan representation or general knowledge about the vault and the unreleased projects fans are interested in.

Troy might be adequate for purely commercial releases (and that is debateable), but that likely applies to only a relatively small percentage of the vault's contents. The only way in their purely business terms, to monetise the rest, is to establish some kind of service for hardcore fans. But thus far they are missing the boat.

The upcoming P&M '83 release even manages to disappoint both the casual, commerical audience and the hardcore fanbase in equal measure, which is quite a feat.

I don't know guys, I like the this for sure. But, I would be just as disappointed if an official release of this was coming in September as I am about P&M83. They're BOTH great, and I want both of them in the best quality possible, but, neither would satisfy me as the first vault release or as the only release of the year. Just like P&M83, a release like this would make more sense as part of a larger release.

In my not-so-humble (and not very popular) opinion, of course... wink

Agreed. Alternate versions/configurations and other unreleased projects of this nature would need to be just one aspect of some kind of download/streaming service for hardcore fans. Else a box set of the time period.

Totally agree!!

These sort of releases 'probably' need to be considered as CD2 (or 3 or 4) to complement a main release.

And you didn't have this version before? Or you never had any bootlegs?

I know some say this the real deal but seriously: They didn't even level the audio of these widely circulating tracks. Not impressed.

Nothing new here people. Move on

Considering the pedigree of this release, it's really no surprise at all that the tracks (and the disc) are not "mastered". Clearly some of this material is much better than the previous "widely circulating tracks". I actually assumed that some of the variance with the level was a "tag" by whomever leaked it.

Some of these are in clearly superior quality.

If this London Emporium recording of 'Poor Goo' was available in soundboard quality before I've certainly never heard it.

The early version of 'Soul Sanctuary' is also in excellent quality.

just looked up the emporium show on princevault. wow! i never knew they performed
the entire undertaker album (sans dolphin). i think this is the only time he performed
an album in it's entirety in the original sequence, right?

anyway, that show looks freaking amazing. i'm gonna have to dive into my drives to
check if i have this somewhere and give it a thorough listen.

also: entrance was just 20 pounds. man, those were the days! eek cool

After hearing Poor Goo on this new leak I gave the Emporium shows a listen.

Would be awesome to have them in this quality but we can only dream... He's still teasing us from the after-life
