THE VAULT BOOK?

Considering purchasing this item.....

For those of you whom own a copy...was it worth the purchase?

If so, why?

i think it's worth it - you're going to have a hard time finding any other resource, book, website or what-have-you, that has such an encyclopedic wealth of knowledge about concerts, recording sessions, and other miscellaneous memorable events in prince's life and career.

i keep this book and my "complete david bowie" side-by-side. geek

Have to order it... http://www.uptown.se/2005...ault.shtml

What I want to know is, when/how will we get our updates? I don't see any news about this on the site confuse

DMSR only covers the first decade or so - "the vault" covers his entire career up to the beginning of 2004.

i really REALLY like DMSR, though. nod

kind of. it's a chronology. it lists things by specific date, like concerts and album releases and television appearances, and whatever else they have specifics about.

No setlists, but every live show and TV appearance is documented. There are also descriptions of many unreleased tracks and promotional videos. I'm constantly pulling it off the shelf to look up something.
