That's some truth right there.

The guy who Paisley Park hired to oversee the vault.

I've certainly never read him say 7-10,000 completed songs are in the vault. That range wouldn't make much sense given everything people know. Like just imagine, 10000? That's about a song a day, every single day a song, for 30 years. Not possible. Anywho! I doubt they are planning their releases against the mortality of prince's 80s fans.

So u are calling the man a liar?

Is it possible Howe said 7,000 "recordings", which is different thatn 7,000 unique songs?

If you add up all of the tracks that Prince recorded from rehearsals, concerts, etc., might might get you close to 7,000?

Using Google and in 3 seconds inputting “Michael Howe 7000 songs”, up came this: https://lis653.wordpress....archivist/ In it it says, “This archive contains 7,000 objects including 120 guitars”. I think someone has mis-understood songs for ‘objects’.

Exactly. From the crime scene photos, that pre-garage storage area had every guitar in it, Parade and SOTT drums, keyboards, etc. They also said "archive," not "vault."

So the 7000 number is a misnomer. And just flat out incorrect.

Lol.....it wasnt Howe talking, it was some dude from Spotify hired by Paisely Park, Buddy.

And he specified SONGS, but no worries,

U folks continue arguing about shit that u don't have a clue about.

It’s here say without a source. Just saying. [Edited 7/15/22 11:49am]

Kool.

It's hear say 2 u, I read the article so it certainly is not hear say 2 me.

I get your point but having 2 "prove" an article that. read from years ago is just plain silly.

Just saying.

The bottom line for me, they have access to 7-10k songs and have released almost nothing since 2016.

That is not what I expected but it is what it is.

I think the bottom line to the length of time it takes to release this stuff are all the legal hurdles, remastering of music, assessing said music, and figuring out how to compile it all. The estate is a mess which obviously doesn’t help things, but I’m impressed with what they’ve released considering these obstacles.

You have zero proof of that, other than expectations based on your own conjecture. It's not "a mess." the shit runs, it's profitable, PP is touring all the time, we've seen Prince's albums hit the charts (new and again) since he died - because of what the estate has done.

Y'all need to settle down.

I still don’t understand your statement here. Almost nothing. That’s not even close to true as I pointed out all of the releases since 2016. Almost nothing would be just a single release, which they’ve exceeded by far with the SDE box sets. [Edited 7/15/22 12:47pm]

It simple, what is 6 releases divided by 7,000 or 10,000 songs?

You should learn how to quote someone. I never said anything about Howe.

Back atcha.

Learn?

If you think the estate is going to release everything at once or even a quarter or a half of it at once you’re living in a fantasy world and you should expect major disappointment. They are going to milk his work for decades to come. They have to keep the lights on.

If u think 6 releases is good, so be it.

I don't.

I need to settle down? Ok 😂 Just bc the estate runs doesn’t mean it’s not a mess. That fact is, it is a fn mess whether you want to believe it or not. I don’t care. I think the estate is doing great despite that though. I’m not pissing on anyones cheerios about either.

I will say thst I agree that the Estate is a mess and the gov't and those that control the purse strings seem 2 want it that way. As long as the Estate is unsettled, they can 2 continue to rob the Estate blind. Given where the Estate is legally, it is a minor miracle that we have had those 6 releases at this point no matter how I see it.

But your bottom line is just wrong, lol.
