if you could snap your fingers and have a new PRINCE release in stores next Tuesday, and had the following option, which would u choose?

14 selections from the vault, your choice.

or 14 new Prince tracks.


It seems like there is a general reverance for the old stuff and not much love for alot of the recent stuff... so i'm curious if, faced w/ the choice, the old would really outweigh the new.

New.

I'm interested in the guy as he is now...his life and expression of his musicianship most recently, in song.

As long as it isn't "Underneath the Cream" bullshit.



I get the vault stuff elsewhere. I believe he is a better guitarist now and has a more organic, less sterile sound, so I would like to hear more of that.

Vault classics. His new stuff ain't funky.

If given the choice to handpick vault favorites then that is what I'd do.Not because I prefer the past work ,but I think that the longer it sits in the vault , the less likely it's chances are of being officially released.

I would choose vault classics, but if I knew for a fact that the new album would be better than TRC or even as good as TGE I might choose that...

I'm leaning towards the vault stuff...for now.

I would love a selection of 15/20 classics from the vault./...but on the same token, I would like an album of new material that is original, groundbreaking and controversial like the prince we once new. Whether its rock, funk, concert or unplugged...anything as long as its good shit!

i have enuff bootleg stuff, im ready 4 new shit and new shit only

Awww. We can't have both?!?

14 classics from the vault...

Give me that old time gospel vault music

and I am also intersted in his next output after being inspired by D, TRC, his Hohner etc

FROM THE VAULT, FROM THE VAULT, FROM THE VAULT.
The farther back, THE BETTER.

i would personally choose 14 tracks from the Vault. we KNOW they are great... and w/ new material, ya never know what you're getting. But i'd love some new material as well

vault "83-86" era
