I don't have a paypal account and I am not sure if I would like to create one too. I am from South East Asia.

Is there any other way I can pay you? I send you ETH maybe?

I won't download anything yet until I make some contributions.

Hi! Appreciate you asking this. Unfortunately, I don't have any crypto stuff setup at all. Maybe if someone has both, they could accept your ETH and paypal the equivalent?

If that doesn't work, DM me - I have another idea that could work for you

OK, you go ahead and do that then...? There are a lot of great org's, I chose the Trevor Project in part because M has always been an ally to the LGBTQ community, and for some personal reasons as well. If you want to donate to disaster relief, I think that's great too and you should do it! <3 

Of course I already did… people been living in streets since then…

I'll only put in for songs like What It Feels Like For A Girl  (Calderone and Qualye Acoustic Dance Mix) which they explained was heard at the VERY end of Lo Que Siente La Mujer live from the DWT 2001, being that loud and a fast paced strumming guitar you can hear that eventually becomes La Isla Bonita, but isn't heard first very long. They claim they did a bunch of mixes and different cuts, and that all were not just variations of the maxi-single remix, but itd just neat to hear them seeing as C&Q said they're beyond great and itd be crazy but special more-so, IMO, to have those than many other commissioned mixes that were rejected. Also any demos that are different than what was released and songs never heard. I'd so throw in for that!

This is such a great idea and a blessing in times of utter leak drought.

I'll gladly contribute, although I currently can’t spend too much money. Inflation cut a big hole into my wallet.

It would be more helpful to donate to those who were affected by the earthquake 2 weeks ago! 

Didn't you see the plans that the UK man has for LGBTQ?I think they are real and bad

[bertrand 9,770]

Over $1,000 raised - thank you everyone, amazing

I’ll donate $500 if someone will agree to release the complete unaltered Like A Prayer Stems. :-) 

They are out there thanks to @Dee Jay AI Studios

[Bermu 4,507]

I made a humble donation in the pandemic summer of 2020 to listen to that wonderful alternative version of Sorry. This time I haven't been able to contribute, but I am very proud of the people who donate for a good cause.

The Sky Fits Heaven demo is simply... a beauty. There are old school fans who adore Pat Leonard, others are more of Mirwais or Stuart. But there will never be a genius like William Orbit.

Thanks so much to Bertrand and everyone who made this possible 

[Chris 375]

wish i could donate more than $10 USD but its all i can spare atm. might be able to send another $10+~ish next Friday

They are Multitrack and they're awesome I am so grateful to @Dee Jay AI Studiosbut not stems unless I missed something

Wow. This is amazing. Thanks so much for this. There's so much posted over the past few days I just grabbed and will sort through it all and listen later when I've got some time. So. Much Stuff. From this and from all the other shares brought on by this. Very grateful.

Are there fees going to you through Paypal Canada before donating it back to the Trevor Project? I can donate directly and forward on the screenshot/receipt. Great charity choice.

[ScottyX 7,366]

@bertrandsent a little contribution. Thank so much again!

For this to work it kind of has to go through me, I know most of y'all are good people... but this is the internet. There's definitely at least one psychopath out there somewhere who would fake the screenshot and feel no remorse....

I hope this starts a new era, not made of leaks or vengeance or scamming or jealousy, but of generosity from both sides, the collectors and the downloaders who often take things for granted.

AMEN!

[thegoldencalf 11,821]

@bertrandcan you disclose how far we are from the final goal?

[Sprk 6,025]

Thanks for doing this again!

Although I am not a fan of remixes, I am super happy to contribute for various reasons:

1) The charity project

2) Sky fits heaven demo

3) @bertrand really is paving the way on how a collector should be, sharing the material he owns, not for free but with a higher purpose!

I hope this starts a new era, not made of leaks or vengeance or scamming or jealousy, but of generosity from both sides, the collectors and the downloaders who often take things for granted.

SAY IT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!! Music is meant to be shared!

From the final goal, yeah - there's a SMALL chance I might be able to add some things in a week or two... I bought a cd collection that MAY OR MAY NOT have anything worth adding in it, I won't know for sure until it gets here

[bertrand 9,770]

[Chris 375]

will there be other crowdfunding/fundraisers for other albums/unreleased in future years?
