Members 1001gear Posted May 12, 2016 Members Share Posted May 12, 2016 There's probably no point to this thread except to express my apathy regarding Prince but that admitted, there is talk of a in iceberg of unreleased material at the house.So what's the word? There must be people who observed those sessions. (?) Nuther Zappa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted May 12, 2016 Members Share Posted May 12, 2016 How cool it would be to discover the unheard material. It would be fantastic to share with the world. Unfortunately, someone will seize the opportunity to capitalize on it and we will probably never hear it in the pure form. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted May 12, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2016 There's supposedly a vault full of it. Hope it gets past the squabbling anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I suspect we'll hear a lot of it eventually. As long as there's a demand for it, it has value to his heirs - if it's released. Scuttlebutt is that there's numerous album's worth of completed recordings. I don't think it will come down to it being "finished by others" or anything like that. Frankly, I'd think that would be less valuable than the stuff he completed himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlamoJoe Posted May 15, 2016 Members Share Posted May 15, 2016 Given the fact that he seemed to create something musical everyday...I'd think it might take years to even listen to all the material. Once his estate has been settled, I hope whomever ends up with the material resists the opportunity to go for a quick cash grab and has the good sense to realize that his unreleased material deserves a professional audit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted May 16, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2016 I dunno. Extraordinarily clever, sure. Prolific, yes. Pop phenom, undeniably. His releases just never got my attention. Only fragments; probably hooks from Purple Rain, Doves, and 1999 are all that made it into my head. Srsly just those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
