very cool album nod. love it. especially it's about that walk, sarah, extraordinary. there is lonely neutral. i don't mind this take on the title track, but the original is so much better. i loved (this version) when i first heard it, but when i heard the original version i was like disbelief, a classic worship touched. the album IS tight, though, doesn't get enough love thumbs up!.

I wont comment on this album, except to say the original version of "old friends 4 sale" is one of my Fav songs ever and the album version does it no justice.

opps, I made a comment razz

I always forget whether it's version 1 or version 2 (NOT the one officially released rolleyes) but those vocals towards the end... spinetingling.

Seriously good song. nod

Has anybodu realized that when Prince is inspired by a song...even to give it a girl's name...that it goes through changes of awareness?

There is a strange twist in a song or poem that was at one time written in the now...and it is many days passed.

I am trying to say that Prince's music carries changes as the years go by...I think must differently about Rasberry Beret today, than I did at the time...84'

So...with.."The Vault." An old friend...can be kept, sold, or given away...
