Anyone get THE VAULT yet? the book

saw excerpts of this book and it looked very interesting

$60, is it worth it? and how long did it take to receive it?

yes Buy it. It is SO worth it.

eye ordered it b4 it was set 2 b shipped, so eye'm not sure how long it really took.

Honestly, Prince should even buy a copy. eye don't even think HE has this much information on himself. But, then again, he just may...

Is very good, and I would firmly recommend you get it, if you like the factual information side of Prince.

On a differennt note, do I remember correctly that Uptown hope to re-print this evey year?

If they expect a lot of people to re-buy this every year, I think they are in for a shock.

As inside information on Paisley Park dries up more and more each year, the "add-ons" will be thin reading indeed.

UPDATE:Finger crossing works!
Just got an answer. Apparently the credit card company didn't pass my order.
Fortunately I saved and sent them back my PayPal receipt so they tell me soon it'll be worked out biggrin

Worth every penny.

And you'll be buying it again next year as well smile

I'm up to about 1991 now. So far I've read every word, but once I've finished the chronology bit I might end up just dipping into parts of it I'm interested in whenever I feel like it, or want to look something up. I wish it had an index in it, but apart from that it's a superb piece of work. I can't say I'll be buying it again next year though - spending another £35 just for a few updates doesn't seem worth it. Maybe if they did an addendum for previous purchasers though... just for a few pounds...

Got my copy today. Ordered it from Madhouse last Friday haven't had chance to look at it properly yet but if it's anything like as good as DanceMusicSexRomance I'll be happy. Also I never had Turn It Up 2 and always wanted it I'm an outtakes Geek!! geek

Also my copy is signed by Per Nilson (like it matters shrug)
