BrownMark: "moisture in Paisley’s basement destroyed one of the Alembic Bass guitars I played" Today BrownMark posted this grainy photo from the Purple Rain Tour on Instagram https://www.instagram.com...T2D61lIY0/ . Which isn't newsworthy. But then one commenter asked him: "Do you still have that Alembic Bass?" And BrownMark replied: "Well, I had 2 of them. I have one and Paisley Park has the other one. It’s in unrepairable shape however. The moisture in Paisley’s basement destroyed it." © Bart Van Hemelen

Wow, sad, that the past was cared for so carelessly

Reading this makes me glad that the vault's contents are now handled by Iron Mountain. It was a tragic move, but clearly the conditions at Paisley Park aren't suitable for long-term item storage. Prince: 1958-infinity. Thank U for everything. | |
