Do you consider the Deliverance EP to be a bootleg? Or does it sit in a sort of twilight zone between bootlegs and official releases? If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

In the end I guess it's a grey area release. The recordsd was definitely considered illegal by the Amercian justice system, so that makes it a bootleg of sorts, or more appropriately an illegal attempt at an official release. The Mobb Depp record Prince played on was released by their manager without Mobb Depp's approval and they had it taken down, it's kind of the same. On the other hand, since the person responsible for Deliverance's release appears to have co-composed the material (that part was never clear to me, not sure if Boxill's co-writing credits were ever confirmed), it kind of gives some legitimacy to the project. It's a little like these songs streamed by collaborators without Prince's approval: he could have taken the songs down, he was legally entitled to, but on the other hand it's hard not to consider them legit in the sense that if the person singing the song puts it online, it's hard to consider they're not entitled to even if they don't own the master.

As it was legally pulled, it's 'unofficial', but I keep the CD and rips in my released material section as it came out and I bought it. . | |

I only have a digital copy but it’s filed on my OCD compiled server with official releases. Doesn’t feel quite right but seems like the best place for it If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

What did turn out to be the exact story on these?
All I know is I wish 3rdEye sounded like "I am". | |

As stated it occupies a grey area. My issue is the extra production and keyboards Boxhill added and his inclusion of a choir on 'Deliverance'. These additions were not overseen by Prince during their work together, nor approved by him. Other than Boxhill's post-production, it is very strong material that would've worked well on 'Planet Earth'. I remember reading that it was included on an earlier configuration, but later removed for unspecified reasons. | |

Oh crap i remember when this dropped and then the estate went “no” Is it bad i only have “I Am (Extended Version)” in my library? I didn’t keep the other tracks and i only slightly remember the title track... I don’t think I remember the other tracks... but “sun rise, sun set” comes to mind | |

It's definietly a boot. It was released by someone who didn't have the authority to release it, so it's pretty clear cut. RIP | |

If Prince, or now his estate, didn't give a green light for a release, then I consider it a bootleg. | |

I snatched up that release as soon as it came out because I knew it was not authorized! It was pulled very shortly after for that very reason. | |

It would've certainly been a game-changer if Prince had decided to include all this material on 'Planet Earth' as he'd originally planned with an earlier configuration. It would've represented a very strong album. | |

Proof that crazy people can see whatever the hell they want in stuff.
Whatever you do, for your own sake - Never turn the 1999 album upside down. [Edited 10/21/20 13:12pm] blah blah blah | |

I LOVE this EP. "Sunrise, Sunset" reminded me of something this whole time, and the last time I listened to it I realized what it was. I felt it sounded like a familiar showtune or soundtrack. At first thought of "Fiddler On The Roof". (don't laugh. "Sunrise, Sunset" was the name of a song on that soundtrack). I was getting somwhere, but then I realized what it really reminds me of. This music - especially "Sunrise, Sunset" reminds me of the music in Jesus Christ Superstar. I truly wondered if Prince watched the movie prior to creating this music. Anyone else relate to what i am saying?

Agreed. I didn't know the choir and other things were a post-production. I wondered about that. I LOVE the choir - and thsi ENTIRE EP. One of my favorites. I wonder why Prince didn't release it! | |
