well darn, 35 years of prince fandom. one might think i would have become a bit jaded,

perhaps even a little bitter, but no

Laughing so hard.

You made my day, LILpoundCAKE.

it's been watermarked in 5 different places though, just to see who shared which version
so the uppers can then classify them as a rat and make funny cheese-based artwork for
a watered down, mono version of the complete track. -after they have official word that
the estate is working on a Graffity Bridge SDE and Bloody Mouth is definitely included so
will be released imminently.

yadayadyayada, prince outtakes.

And then the official Estate SDE release includes the 128kbps mono MP3 transcode of aforementioned hoarder leak.

whomever is adressing our questions about the release will tell us that there was simply no other
way to release this show. they searched everywhere but there was no tape of it anywhere but as
they wanted us to have this and they only do what we want, they made a tape transfer of the very
bootleg tape we've had for 40 years. but they boosted the sound levels with professional equipment!

meanwhile, about 1 minute later someone will post a few of the 2016 police investigation pictures
of the vault where from at least 2 different angles the box with the tapes for this show can be seen
as well as (mastered for release) written in prince's own hand under the date.

...and instead of announcing some kind of release from Prince's final tour, the estate is using this anniversary to sell more tickets to their Paisley Park tours for the chance to see a "tribute" (whatever that means) https://www.facebook.com/...5825978731

.

It costs money to go through a vault of material and preserve old media. is it impossible to believe that events like this could possibly found future projects?

(Original Outro)! Frankenstein'd on from a fifth-generation VHS-to-Betamax tape dub that was then transferred to wax cyllinder and found floating in the ocean two decades later. It's the best copy the estate could work with.
