Re: [Prince-4ever] Q.O.T.D. The Bootlegs ...

If I'm not mistaken there was SUPPOSED to be a Crystal Ball II but that sounded like it was more "rumor" then fact. I'd love to acquire the ORIGINAL release of The Black Album but how much would that cost, right?

Ironic question

I was just listening to Crystal Ball the Official release of the bootlegs of the 80s and early 90's i'd have to guess on today. I do not believe that it takes away from the official releases if anything it creates a fuller picture of the mindset and music Prince was making during these years. I think it is a good thing to own the boots and it doesn't make you any less of a fan if you don't. Truth be told I don't own any of the boots from the 80's (only the official releases of the Black Album and Crystal Ball in 90's when P was battling WB) but I heard plenty about them. I also hear that the studio releases are not the same as those released in the 90's. I was a child at that time but into Prince but I didn't have any money back then. LOL!

Here's a Q.O.T.D. (Question of The Day):

For the fam that have bootlegs (I'm not tryin' to put anybody on "BLAST") & those who do not have boots:

Does anyone believe that having bootlegs in their collection of Prince music take away from the appreciation of the albums and
official releases that have been released?
