Lets praise "The vault: old friends for sale" Personally i consider this album as one of his most enjoyable albums from the 1990's.
I love the organic sound of it, the live-feel, there are some strong melodies in the form of Five Women and the title track, otherwise its just a joy listening to musicians (Prince and the NPG) enjoying themselves. I take this one over New Power Soul, Rave and even Emancipation. A contractual effort, of course, but qualitywise its his one of his best albums from that decade. | |

What i love most about it that it sounds so carefree.
It sounds like he and his band just moved into the studio to jam a bit, just enjoying themselves while they are playing the tunes. Much better then those attempts to shove the JW-message through our throats (The Rainbow Children) or making a halfbaken 'comeback' when your heart isnt into it (Rave unto the joy fantastic). | |

I find these "lesser" albums to be some of the more enjoyable ones. Maybe lite, but enjoyable. My Legacy

If n e of U have evr heard the original versions of these songs U would immediately describe this Vault album rubbish, in particular the version of "Old Friends 4 sale", 1 of Prince's best ever out takes, evn the lyrics r not the same, 4 those of U that can get a hold of a copy of Charade, then U will understand that "the Vault" was a big finger up 2 WB. EYE, 4 example have nevr purchased that odd hits collection from a few yrs ago and EYE NO, many fans nevr have and nevr will.
Peace N B WILD If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

i gotta go and check your other posts!!! the vault-RUBBISH???? when the lights go down????? extrordinary????? i still think it is rubbish, although it has a few nice licks on it, especially that cover version, from whatever his name is.....But my point is the Vault was and is an album that holds no merit in a Prince collection, check out Charade, U will C what I mean If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.
