"INSIDE OR U" = Inside of U ? = the grand progression 88/89
"LIVIN' IN AMERICA" (not a james brown version) = Fake
"DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR" pépé willie's song - prince version 82/83

what do u mean by FAKE?

wildblueangel said:

they weren't done by prince at all--folks have created prince-sounding songs of their own, and lotsa times people mistake 'em for actual p compositions.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

thats right, theyr MJ songs and im new to this...ts!

thats prince in those

wildblueangel said:

"underground", "sleazy" and "livin' in america" are all fakes. no prince involvement in any of those. sorry, charlie.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I knew about the fakes listed on this thread but I think I have this "Sleazy" thing. It sounds like a short snippet from a rehearsal...

1987-1988?

This is around 2 mins long and keeps stopping and starting on a keyboard/synth line (a bit like the synth break in ATWIAD), Prince can be heard inbetween each musical part saying (in this order)

Good (long Pause) Gawd!

U Spin In A Circle, Ready?

Sleazy!

Is that how close U're gonna get?

Good Gawd!

U can take bigger steps ...and wider there ...and go off

200 Dollars Matt (presumably a fine) go again?

Last time ...we don't need to.

What do you think?

sleazy must be around purple rain era cuz its kinda played in that tour...i think it was after baby im a star if i can remember, let me check


so these ppl werent that right , so far...lets see the others

wildblueangel said:

They are right about "MY LORD" "UNDERGROUND" and "LIVIN' IN AMERICA" all fakes.

KeithyT said:

thats right.

"inside of U" its a graffity bridege outtake...well, thats what it says...

wildblueangel said:

Yep. It's actual title is "The Grand Progression" it's a great Prince outtake. witness said this in his reply above.

KeithyT said:

If you check Purple rain rehearsals there is a reference to "Sleazy". I always thought that this was part of "Baby I'm a Star". If anyone the Purple Rush boot, check it to see. Maybe I'm wrong.

LolaM said:

Thanks LolaM. This rehearsal snippet was on a couple of awful bootleg CDs (Rude Boy was one, and where I got my copy) listed as "Sleazy". Can anyone confirm it's from the Purple Rain rehearsals?

KeithyT said:

sounds like it, cuz he mixed it or it is a part of baby im a star extended song in the purple rain "live" video...

wildblueangel said:

Hmmm that sounds feasible but who is Matt? I'm sure he says Matt and I assumed it was Atlanta Bliss, hence my guestimate of 1987-1988. Gog, I feel like such a

MATT FINK

wildblueangel said:

"My Lord, my lord" - more like "Oh LAWD!"

I remember when I first heard these fakes I almost wet myself laughing at My Lord.
