I've been coveting a copy of this book for years. Recently I heard of the possibility of it turning into a website. Anyone have an update?

No, but at this point I'd be willing to pay for an update.

Me, too.

Bump.

Would be nice. Will turn out to be doubtful

"principedia" could turn into a similar project, but it would take many dedicated people inputting info and keeping it maintained.

http://princeinfo.net is awesome but only about half-complete.

what is that?

PEJ said:

Just some website that I assume is at least partially sourced from The Vault. It has a huge database of recording sessions. Unfortunately they haven't finished entering all the data. The site has stubs for every year of his career but the studio logs are only completed (so far) to the end of 1990.

how come I push the link and get nothing?

PEJ said:

It worked when I clicked it

when I click it it says can't find server WTF

PEJ said:

That is really weird. It took a minute to load, but it did work for me.

It seems since HQ went bellyup, so did the plans for another edition?

Having a website resource is an attractive idea, but I worry (if that's the right word) about how long it would last. Websites cost money - hosting, domains, a huge investment in time. A website resource is great, but what happens when the webmaster tires of the site? A print copy can become out of date, but it's a resource that's always there as long as you look after it. And call me old fashioned, but it's nice to leaf through a book!

I accessed it through google

I would suggest whoever might design such a site make it accessible to archive.org's spiders.

I anually ask about The Vault on here, too. No-one seems to have any info on it. I wish I could check it out from the Library or something.

Like you would return it.

I really want a copy of it

have they just given up on the project?

squirrelgrease said:

Library fees would be through the roof because he had the book for too long

bboy87 said:

Because it's 4,000 pages long with 7pt. text.

squirrelgrease said:

Y'know, I totally return my library books.

JudasLChrist said:
