The quest for Prince material was serious business. It became clear that Prince recorded more, much more, music than could ever be released. The planned, and subsequently retracted, release of The Black Album played a crucial part in that. In the 1990’s Prince was one of the most bootlegged artists of all time (maybe he still is). In other words: all recordings not officially released by an artist, or a record company the artist is/was signed to, is a so-called bootleg: a recording of a concert, aftershow, rehearsal or studio recording obtained illegally. Bootlegs usually consist of either unreleased studio recordings, live performances or interviews with an unpredictable level of quality. Recordings may be copied and traded among fans of the artist without financial exchange, but some bootleggers have sold recordings for profit, sometimes by adding professional-quality sound engineering and packaging to the raw material. The process of making and distributing such recordings is known as bootlegging. What constitutes a bootleg? Wikipedia states:Ī bootleg recording is an audio or video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority.
