Hey if even 10% is any good, which I believe because Prince can write, we're at 200 songs. Even if only 5% were any good your at 100 songs.
I haven't heard any of your songs bitusa, but don't be down on yourself, you may have some gold in there!
you may be on to something...maybe he needs a collaborator or producer that can sift through all that material.
Like on the last few stones albums, editing was missing.
Having a bad day?
He's not sentimental and given his output, he may have lost track as to what is in the vault. This material won't be released while he's alive. He's under no obligation to release any of it.
But I think the point is that Prince is highly unusual in terms of the volume of material he produces but doesn't release. He is apparently constantly writing. The man is no doubt seriously gifted.
I don't think anyone was claiming that each and every song in his vault was another Purple Rain. No doubt some of the material will not be commercially releasable.

I'd think for the deluxe package on that album all they'd have to do is remove 2 or 3 songs.
I got to admit: I also like that one.
While you may be onto something Jimmy's not having it...its a bitch coming up with 3 discs of 'content'...
Maybe one disc could feature Jimmy doing an 'audio book' reading of Lord of the Rings? That's actually probably 2 discs right there!
Throw in him doing the Hobbit as a bonus.
Easy for you to say...Jimmy is half the reader he was back in his 70s heyday...he's really lost a lot of speed and technique...
That's what she said.
Everyone keeps saying that Hannah can't sing for shit but she has a smooth voice...

Stones fans with an interest in what lies in the vaults might find this recent BBC Radio documentary on Prince a little surprising:
Link to BBC website
Factoids:
1. If Prince died today, he has enough unreleased material in his vault to release a new album every year for the next 100 years.
2. An ex manager said that Prince has approximately 2000 unreleased songs.
3. He has apparently recorded every live show since the late 70s and has enough live material for a huge CD box set containing multiple live shows from every stage of his career.
4. Prince has set himself the goal of writing one new song every day.
Makes the Stones vaults look somewhat bare by comparison!!

1. Are these 100 albums worth of songs ANY GOOD? if so, why aren't they out,?
2. See 1
3. Seems obvious. If he's recorded every show in last 4 decades or so he WOULD have a lot of shows to release. As would...I don't know... Any artist that has recorded over 4 decades of shows...
4. See 1 and 2. I could write a song a day. Easy. None would be any good, but hey, that's a goal!

Unfortunately so much of Prince's post mid-93 output is impenetrable funk that while possibly sounding good in a sweaty nightclub does not make for repeated listening on albums. If he invested all that amazing energy in refining and editing his music he'd still be deemed the greatest pop star since Bowie.

Jimmy Page is desperately searching for outtakes to slam into the Presence Deluxe Package...perhaps Prince wouldn't mind obliging?

Probably not very good stuff, considering it's now 20 years since his last great record.
And if he doesn't use old great stuff for new albums, he's too arrogant.

The problem with all that recorded material is that Prince himself doesn't have time in his lifetime to listen back to it all and apply his own artistic values to determine what should be released. Most of it will sit in that vault till no one cares about who Prince was. Yes he's talented and prolific but I don't see a Robert Johnson type enthusiasm for finding his hidden gems ever happening. There's just too much other media out there to digest these days.....
peace

Love the Love Symbol Album and Art Official Age, to be honest. Cheesy but sexy, you know. When it comes to ballads, HE KNOWS HIS SHIT. Can't stop listening to Clouds, This Could Be Us, U Know...

He could follow Dylans example.
Let his Management team and technicians do all the work. The Bootleg series...up to no 10 at the moment,has been generally praised and there is still plenty of material left to go through. Then it will be DVD releases.
Bob may have the final decision on content etc but his actual input will be slight.
