Fuzzytone Reality…can anyone shed any light?

So I picked this up from a seller on my local Marketplace. I can’t find anything about it online. I know it wasn’t commercially released, but I’d love to know the backstory on it. Was it a fan club only release of some sort? Does anyone know the background of this record? TY!

It's a bootleg. The end.

You have 99,99% chances that it's a bootleg or a fake.

It is soooo hard to find...

And it is so hard to see it is a b00tl3g.

So was this a good find? I’m not a seller, and Only bought it to listen to because it looked interesting. I will be honest, I don’t understand much about boots. When I saw it, it had me at Prince 💜

It's quite useless now. Most of those old outtakes bootlegs are completely outdated because most of what was on them has surfaced in a much better audio quality ever since.

.

You can buy them for the sake of having a funny collector's item from another age, but in terms of content, they've become completely irrelevent.

.

Besides, you can get all that stuff online for free. Never waste your money on a bootleg for the music on it, only if you want the object.

That makes sense. So recently I came home with all of my childhood albums as we are going through my moms house. I bought a turntable and have been rediscovering my prince albums on vinyl, so the format is my driving factor. Is it something I’d listen to in my car? Probably not, but slapping a record on the player to enjoy while I clean or relax is another story. I truly appreciate all of this input though as I love learning about all of this and can apply it to future purchase considerations!

I am not aware of teh audio quality, to begin with.

You must grow some callus on the soul so you can spend more wisely next time.

The only thing you really need to know about Bootlegs is that all the tracks are usually circulating for free in better quality online.

Apart from the Black Album. Generally an old Bootleg of that (with crackles and pops) still sounds great in comparison to the official release biggrin
blah blah blah

I had this on vinyl back in the day . . . labeled as "Soul Psychedelicide". It was awesome to have but gets tiresome after like 10 mins!
