Thanks for the heads up.

I noticed Goldnigga Full Length listed here. Wasn't that one confirmed to be a fan edit?

And if anyone here spends money on this slop, you are severely mentally deficient

Agreed. Pirate all bootlegs.

The diamonds and love flacs that came with it sound a whole hell of a lot better than the MP3’s I had.

The lossless .flac filed leaked this past December.

Those sounded way better than the MP3s.

Knowing the BFTP crew, they probably also EQ'd the shit out of everything.

Exactly my thoughts

Maybe that's all they did? Seems like the ultimate rehash of all rehashes. It looks like all of it is stuff we've had for awhile. Most of it a loooong while.

Sound-quality-wise, I didn't notice any improvement from the existing sources except for "The Grand Progression," which has more emphasized vocals in the mix. I guess it was done with the help of recent vocal demixing technology.

.

correction: Vocal emphasis of "The Grand Progression" was found on "30 Years Of Unreleased Funk Vol. 2" and "Work It Volume 3", so it wasn't new.

The Ganster Glam remixes were better quality than the ones I had, or, if I do have this quality already, they slipped by me and I didn't notice.

I don't know this edit of Turn Up. Is it legit or a fan mix?

I can't be bothered comparing any of the boombox recordings because I don't listen to those.

Other than that, complete rehash for me.

"Turn up" is a fan-made. You can find it "Turn Up - Prince Vocal Mix (99PROBLEM5)" on YouTube. It' a nice mix.

"Gangster Glam" remixes are included on "30 Years Of Unreleased Funk Vol. 2" in the same quality, along with three additional remixes.

Cool, thanks! I have that one, must not have noticed the quality upgrade at the time.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions by answering my question on Turn Up as well.

Anxiously awaiting a good quality version of the 10 minute version of Wonderful Ass to show up some day...

This is exhausting.

Fanmade or not fanmade? Rehash or not rehash?

Damn... I think I won't even bother to look for a d/l unless someone confirms something genuine is truly exclusive to this set...

I never thought there'd be something new once the tracklist was revealed. But by the look of it I must be one of the very few who enjoy collecting the Eye releases

How many of you went to check "Heaven" ? Nope...still missing the intro

I heard the bootlegged version we all have and what is again on this shitty bootleg is not just missing teh intro but a entire verse.

I don't disagree, but someone's got to buy it in order to rip it. So there has to be a bit of gratitude for that if nothing else, no.

I'm ALWAYS grateful to those who share. And, between 1988-1998 I paid for MANY bootlegs. But once the ability to trade exact copies with no quality loss came along, first with CDRs then with digital files, I stopped. No reason to spend $ when I could trade one the many I had bought for the new ones. That said, I've gotten back into vinyl the last couple years and purchased a few bootlegs records that I knew the material, knew the quality, and knew I would enjoy playing on wax. But something like this? Hell, no! Thanks to those that share but I will NOT pay for it. I will however happily trade copies of one of the thousands of boots I already have to anyone that does pay for new boots and is willing to share. And since '98, that has been enough to keep me up to date on everything out there whether they are cash grabs or actually a good release. Often it's not even necessary. When you develop a reputation of being willing to share boots with others, people are happy to share with you. That's the way it should be with boots, fans sharing and trading with one another. No?

On that note, if there's an old boot you're looking for, let me know...

Have we ever had a proper credible confirmation that Prince recorded "life without end, at last" and if so, that his recorded is the one on this boot?

I remember being told by a random Prince fan/JW that this was he back in the early 2000s and downloaded the MP3's then, but I have never heard anything concrete from someone like Larry Graham or a session engineer.

I was also wondering about "pickle". I remember the name of the track from interviews, but is the pickle on BFTP 9 kosher? When did it start circulating?

I can't answer your questions but I can confirm that this is the same Life Without End that has circulated for nearly 25 years and the same Pickle that has circulated for at least 12 years.

I feel like i dont know some of the stuff on disc 1. It could be because some of it is unlistenable to my ears and I don't remember them I dont know Partyman remix instrumental Or.. Love Sign (Ted's Get 'Em Up Mix) Love Sign (Ted's Double Trouble Mix) Looks like they came from an unreleased single. Not sure if the info is correct, but it looks real from a picture I've seen. 1. Ted's Get Em Up Mix 2. Shock's Silky Smooth Mix 3. Ted's Fanky Chariot Mix 4. Mack Attack Message Mix 5. Ted's Double Trouble Mix 6. Ted's Love Sign Radio Mix 7. Shock's Silky $mooth Instruneutal

The Partyman & Love Sign mixes have been circulated 20-25 years. You can't be blamed for not remembering them.
