Enormous thanks going out to Derek for mailing me this tape (and a bunch of others) for me to rip and share for everyone out there.
This is an official cassette release that Prince was selling at shows, online and by phone in '97. I don't remember exactly how much he was asking for it, but I'd guess somewhere between $15 and $25. Pretty ridiculous for a two-track cassette. It's even got some hiss on it which I remember Prince advertised to make it seem like an authentic bootleg, though the overall sound of these two tracks is wonderful and there is no mistaking this for anything other than an official soundboard recording. Full scans of the j-card are included for you to peruse.
To everyone that has written me over the last week or so that I haven't responded to yet, I promise to write you back this weekend! I'm sorry I've been a little slow recently, but my new job has left me rather worn-out when I get home. That said, there won't be another Prince Homemade Deluxe Edition for this coming week, rather you'll see it on the 21st of this month. It'll be a single-disc edition of For You.
There is a lot of great stuff coming this week so stick around. Thank you all and everyone have a good weekend!
