TXfan said: NME01 said: Whoever mentioned 'time capsule' was right. It's like PP and the The Vault was srtuck in the 90s. It really looks like the Gangster Glam video. Chome fittings, VHS cassettes, v old computers with CRT screens, etc. Takes me back...
If that's what P wanted, then cool. It just feels a bit odd.
I don't think he had the time to think about interior design (obvs), but there's something a bit sad (maybe not the right word) about him being 'stuck' in a time, or an era. It can't have helped as he watched the rest of the world change so much and seem so, so far away from his day-to-day existence in PP.
Anyway back on topic. I hope there a many beta tapes hiding under all those old unreliable VHS cassettes. It's a far, far better source of high quality footage than what collectors are used to working with...
[Edited 4/20/18 3:36am] I was surprised when I saw these things too. Computers, phones,video equipment were all really dated. But it’s not the first time I’ve seen a millionaire with old outdated stuff. I guess they get used to something and the way it works and just stick with it till you can’t anymore. I saw in other pics he still had media readers that connect to a computer via usb. That’s pretty new compared to the older computer equipment he had. Imagine if he had a iPad and iPhone. It’s funny how us poor folk have to have the latest shit that’s out. Lol In the pics from the 21st, there was an ipad on the main desk in the yellow office. This seemed to be his working office. There was also lots of cash and CDs and dvds. In the pictures a couple of days later, when the police went in with a warrant, these things are missing from any of the evidence photos. . | |

I haven’t seen all the photos. They seem to be scattered all over the place I don’t know what or when they were taken. I hope somebody puts all of them together in some type of order so we can have a look into Prince’s everyday life as it was before he passed. | |

Seem to be one or two names here that aren't in the song list on PrinceVault.com... Could some of you experts weigh in?
This is one of the hundreds of police pics taken on 10 May 2016.

Be aware, the first 32 photos in the folder named "...469-SLB" include the infamous death scene photos. Folder "...459-SMM" has the video vault pics. They are 290-325 and 587-596.

.odt files are from the Open Office app. Probably Prince didn't want to pay to use Microsoft Office. Each of those files listed look to be Open Office text documents, so my guess is that the files are - perhaps - lyric files, and the piece of paper was a printout of files stored somewhere. | |

Also - his bedroom was majorly cleaned up between the day of the event and the search warrant documentation. The table beside his bed had tons of stuff (including a flash drive with recordings of the Atlanda Piano & Microphone shows) on it and was virtually bare when the police went back. Trash was removed, bed stripped. All the Five Hour Energy bottles and enema kits were removed. | |

I wish I was some kind of Ocean's 11 or whatever smart slink burgler, or some super thief, so I could sneak in at Iron Montain. Anyone in for that ? - Like I said, I'm so fucking excited ! These pix alone make me happy. No matter what state the Vault is in, I start to love this kind of chaotic 'secret shitty situation' Prince was in. It makes him human, and somehow more understandable. Seems he couldn't care less for much else than what he loved to do. Keeping up appearances? Just like a 'hard to handle child' that doesn't like to be told what to do So out little napoleon certainly must've felt on a pedestal with all these people around him, trying to clean up the chaos a bit. As if he the 'rooster' was sitting on the highest stick in the stal. This whole vault and Prince's life is like a huge giant puzzle that start to make sense. Prince - like a naughty young boy - wasn't all that good in cleaning up his room apparently. He only wanted to 'play', 'record' and all that high end shit it seems. Exactly how it should be. - I remember from some (great!) stories from podcasts by Michael Koppelman (some years back), that he discovered the vault in a serious chaotic condition. And if i remember well, he told that he started to clean it up a bit. Really need to listen to those pocasts again, as they really start to make sense now. Now, where are they ?
