Unreleased CDs?

I was going through my CD collection and found some old Prince unreleased CDs and was wondering are they still popular and/or worth anything?

Here is a list:

Dreams - Demos and Outtakes 1982-1997 (3CDs); released in 1998

Rock Over Germany (2 CDs), released in 1997

Deposition (3CDs), released in 1997

Cosmos - Demos and Outtakes 1978-1992 (3 CDs), released in 1998

I still enjoy listening to them.

Thanks!

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!

They are probably not worth much, most or all have been shared online (digital rip, scans) for many years now. I assume alot of tracks have been upgraded over the years.

On the other hand some people still collect phisical copies.

I doubt you are sitting on a gold mine of bootlegs. But those are some nice collections you have. I think I own a couple of the phisical sets to.

What's ridiculous is that any are 'sold' at all.

None of us own this music, rights-wise. But since it's out there, it should be available to whoever wants to listen to it, for free, shared by all and for all.

CDs are practically worthless these days anyway, some badly produced Prince bootlegs from the 90s? Probably worth even less.
