The Vault Website Online (Today Only)

In tribute to Prince's legacy, The Vault website will be available online today only! Come revisit the year 1999 along with some wonderful memories with The Vault, once refered to by Reuters as "the definitive word" on Prince.

Wow... Back in the day when websites had to explain how they worked....


"The Vault's navigation is similar to that of an FTP site. The homepage displays a list of major sections. These include this section, Articles, Concerts, Recordings, Royal Court, Online and soon a visual media archive. Major sections can be accessed at any time by clicking the navigation bar on the left side of a page. To return to the homepage at any time, click The Vault logo in the upper left hand corner of a page."

That site is awesome to look through. Technology is great, but it's also great to just click a button and go right to a list; then click another button and go right to another list. Also, I didn't realize Prince penned (or was part of the writing process) for SO MANY other artists. (And the Vault list ends about '98, so I know there are many, many more.) The media for years always begins and ends with Manic Monday and Nothing Compares 2 U.

Because of their half-baked mistakes, we get ice cream, no cake; all lies, no truth; is it fair to Kill the YOUTH ~~ Party Up

Any chance you could have it up on a weekend day? You know...when those of us who have day jobs have time to look?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I hear ya...housequake.com was amazing...used to prefer it to the .org, to be quite honest.

It was a sad day in Princeland when they had to shut down...sometimes the little man didn't make it easy for us fans, we still loved him anyway.

Oh my goodness. That is so awesome! Like an old friend come back. Aw.

.

What a GREAT site and valuable source of information. Even if it's too much work to update, It is still such great source of articles. Wow... This is gold. I bet intellectual property issues may have changed since 1999 so I don't know how magazines and writers would take to Princevault, though I'd imagine that they'd be alright for just today or maybe through the weekend?? (Please?)

It was Uptown magazine's site at the time.

What an amazing flashback this was. The Internet was a very different "place" back then.
