Prince – The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale (CD)
Product Details
By 1999, Prince's war with Warner Bros. had become one of the most public battles in pop history, with the artist famously writing "slave" on his cheek and changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol in protest. This collection lands squarely in that context, a parting shot from a label relationship that had soured badly, releasing music Prince considered private on terms he no longer controlled.
The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale is a collection of previously unreleased songs from Prince’s legendary vault that was released by Warner Bros. Records in 1999, shortly before the release of his new studio album on Arista Records, Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic. Prince (then known as his unpronounceable symbol) had submitted the collection of songs to the label a few years earlier, complete with artwork and a brief liner note: "The enclosed material was written during the period beginning 1/23/1985 and ending 6/18/1994 and was originally intended 4 private use only."
