it's just silliness...why would you call a discography "the vault", anyway? the club moderators know as much as anyone that in a prince fan's head, "the vault" means UNRELEASED songs.

it's just all smoke and mirrors still.

My take on "The Vault" is not only unreleased music, but also archives of music . . .

When Prince receives his master recordings back, where do you think he's going to keep them?

The master recordings are quite possibly sitting in his vault or wherever he has them stored. It's simply that the contractual obligation with WB means they have rights, rather than Prince, to use those recordings currently.

Good point Langebleu.

ok fine, se7en, i thought of that too, but why get us all excited by calling it The Vault and then just putting up the released albums? it makes no sense.

plus it's a pretty crappy discography anyway. how about some information? people wouldn't need to buy stuff like possessed if we could get any info whatsoever about any of these old classic releases from the man himself.

Please - this has bugged me for a few years now. Can somebody explain to me, if Prince doesnt own his masters and WB control all that music how come he was allowed to release songs like Horny Pony and Thieves in The Temple as well as teh video for The Ride and Dolphin during NPGMC?

Surely they woudlnt have given him permission to do this so therefore he must own soemthing. If they did give him permission then I think he shoudl give tehm a big hug and say thank you because he manged to earn money for old rope in that year.

Is it just me or is there anything the blue angel doesn't complain about?

I dot agree...sure, some of teh things blueangel say might sound a bit critical...but then he's always got a point.

Why waste web space with a backcatalogue (OK its a nice inclusion and kind of necessary)

Why is there no new music after nearly 2 months

Why must the religious aspect/moral preachings play so a huge part...this is the only type of thing that ever gets updated

Why are so many members so satisfied whenever the background images change on the site


are people standards that low that they will except anything and file it under "genius".



You keep speaking your min out there blueangel, rest assured tehre are plenty of people who agree and find this Truth more refreshing than the "follow my leader" attitude of many the Cult...i mean Music Club (sorry always get those 2 confused) members.

thanks purpledoveuk...i appreciate your comments.

EverlastingNow's just jealous cuz he's got a gay-ass avatar and mine's SLAMMING.

tee-hee.

and yer right purpledoveuk, it HAS almost been 2 months, and NO new music, except for one track for a few days at the beginning.

I still think you're a whiner. A gay-ass avatar? What Prince picture isn't gay-ass looking genius??? Damn, some people.

BlueAngel

We can bitch about everything, can't we?

everlasting, i was just being silly with the gay-ass shit. you're right of course. show me one picture of prince that AIN'T gay-ass.

are there's nothing wrong with gay-ass. in fact, one could make the argument that it's a compliment.

Positivity/Negativity? Or reality & honesty?

i agree with theblueangel...it seems a bit shady that he would call it "the vault" yet it only contains things that we can hear at home anytime. whatever. the club is kinda cool, but it doesnt seem like anything special to me...yet. the video game style is cool but i just don't think there is a lot of substance. i mean, some of the rooms are just silly...like the musicology room and the reflection room. they don't really have any point just yet...maybe in time we'll get some surprises. for 25 bucks, though, i am not really complaining...i didn't really expect too much. it's all for fun!
