The Time - Corporate World on e-Bay

Hi folks,

Did anybody notice that a CD copy of The Time - 'Corporate World' just sold on e-Bay for almost £100! Looked pretty authentic (Paisley Park printed disc, colour sleeve of city skyline at night) - did any copies of this album REALLY sneak out when it was withdrawn, or was I looking at a bootleg?

AFAIK it's a bootleg - the skyline cover is definitely fan made. £100 for a cdr?? Have you got a link to the closed auction?

Sorry, no, didn't keep the link to the auction... Have to say that the cover did certainly look bootleg-esque, but it was the actual disc that threw me - text was in a font very similar in style to most Paisley Park official CDs and DID have the Paisley Park logo at the bottom of the actual disc...

You can still search completed item with advanced option. As I took a look at the item, printing on disc let me feel it's CDR, not factory pressed one.

Well that's pretty easy to do - I've got a number of fonts that include ALL the Paisley Park and NPG logos. Definitely a bootleg, I thought perhaps a boot label pressed a version, but I can't find it listed anywhere. That's a ridiculous amount to pay for it - I got a copy for free!
EDIT>>>
Just found the auction - still can't tell if it's a cdr or not, but the disc looks pretty good - I just bought a promo CDR of Cinnamon Girl that was printed in the same way. Either way, still too much to pay,

Just for the record - I wasn't either buyer or seller on this item eek

I was just a bit confused for a second as the disc itself looked so well done - thought that it must be a bootleg, but wanted to check...

£97 for a bootleg CD - sheeshhhh!!! I wish that I had that sort of disposable income...

Waste of money. I mean come on... songs that are already out (not unless it is the unreleased versions) and like 3 unreleased songs that not even all that (except for 9 Lives). Sheesh.
