Is this the original recording or the version with Clare Fischer's string on it?

According to PV, the orchestra version was titled "All the King's Men" so it's safe to say what has been shared here is Version 1. Besides, a few strings (keys) can be heard but it doesn't compare to real strings arrangements.

Both hacve been circualting for about 2 years in flac, I wonder why a mp3 was shared with a threat more is to come, which most likely won't happen because the person who leaked the low fi mp3 was just bluffing (to what end?!) given the low quality "leak" instead of both flacs. INstead this leak now caused anotehr drop to be only shared among some individuals here and on smaller groups somewhere else, sad but always the same BS.

The Person who leaked it did say more to come in the new year and asked for requests.

Interesting. Well, first a big thanks to them.

.

Requests-wise, my holy grail remains the complete Madrid 2 Chicago album

.

I never heard of it being in circulation among "elite" collectors, though, but if it is, this would make my year

If i stay focused on the 2K years, any of these would be amazing

+ STREETS OF PANAMA

+ PRINCE & THE BAND

+ CALABAMA

+ U'RE SUCH A TEASE

+ DELLA BLACKHEART

+ SHAMELESS

+ ANOTHER GIRL

+ REDHEAD STEPCHILD (Prince Version)

+ U WANT ME

+ BETRAYER

+ THE TROUBLE WITH EMMA

+ THE VINE

Any other outakes from this era would be perfect too.

I agree that we already have so much unreleased material from 1976-1995 that anything from 1996-2015 is very much welcome!

Don't count on that !

I know the well is rather dry, so I don't have high hopes either, but I also know several big leaks were acts of rebellion by elite traders who decided it was time for their shit to be heard even if fellow traders strongly disapproved, so who knows, it may happen again...

What I wonder is whether the people in charge of the Estate sees such events as a loss of value for their vault or if they don't give a fuck...

I guess we'll know soon enough if it's going to happen or not.

The fact that ATKH was shared in MP3 doesn't mean anything and doesn't spoil the experience since it's a good and enjoyable one. Who cares about what's out of reach ?

We know by now that the outakes won't be released by the current Estate who's just locked the Vault away so this might be the best opportunity we have to hear new P. music soon.

Anyway, someone somewhere brought us a nice Christmas gift, I guess the first thing to say is THANK YOU

Seriously ?

May I remind you that we actually have very little from 1976 till+including 1981 ??!

The most important years that build Prince's entire career ?

The least documented in leaks or unreleased known material ?

We can only hope, pray, that (if... found) tapes from these eras are still usable.

I can only dream that some engineers or people close to him stole some, or have decent (cassette) copies of recordings of which we have no idea of their excistence.

Remember that one particular leak : Neurotic Lover's Bedroom ?

Worth more than the whole D&L leaks altogether, IMHO.
