"Crystal Ball" is a crazy compilation (I think mine is 5xCDs?) that was boot only for awhile, then I think Prince just started selling it himself. (?) It's material around the time of Sign O' The Times and others. Some are brilliant outtakes that never made it onto albums!!! Some is filler though.
There is also a recent Live thing "one night alone" that I have heard good things about, the tracklist is pretty incredible (lots of old stuff) but I haven't heard it yet http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=CASS70305141450&sql=A0l5zef wk3gf3 There are a zillion bootlegs though, many live ones collected/traded by fans on lists, etc. peace -----Original Message----- From: jurren baars [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 4:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) Prince Album Recommendations >Can anyone make an album recommendation for a newcomer to Price's work? > how about bootlegs [yes, bootlegs again...] i was listening to the interview with THE man harco pront up on the musicforspeakers website [dutch only] where they were comparing his work to '80's prince bootlegs, the high pitched quasimoto-voice for instance. so what bootlegs should i look for? i know it's an impossible question as there's dozens of 'm, but i can at least try. jurren _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
