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

If u ask me I think Prince had something 2 do with the boots back then. #1 there were far 2 many out there, #2 a lot of them were very intimate & studio or soundboards, and #3 he writes & records so fast and Warners weren't allowing him 2 put out his music at the same pace he was creating it. I don't think buying the boots takes away of any appreciation of the music I think it helps us 2 appreciate it more because we see more sides of the musician, fast 4ward 2 now...Prince has musical control of his material so buying the boots would be taking $ out of his pocket....I have 2 admit I have a lot of old boots that I bought at a spot in nyc in the village mostly but here in Philly all the record stores uses 2 have Prince boots...this place in nyc used 2 have rows & rows of boots, there was no way back then that I could've bought them all because they were so expensive at the time but back then I was ALWAYS on the hunt 4 boots, I have vinyl & cd boots and 2 be honest all of Prince's music hasn't been returned 2 him legally as of yet so I may be tempted 2 buy more boots! LOL After the way Warners did him I wouldn't want them 2 get a piece of any $$ I spend on Prince!

Remember

Professionals...built the Titanic!!

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!
