Tapes sold out back in September bro. Just got the second press in, but we're only selling them at gigs. Can't be dealing with the German, Swedish and Greek maniacs constantly messaging us asking for a reissue :lol:

Don't do anything else to get any more popular otherwise you may be accused of selling out.

Prince's vaults are in the news again. Some sources seem to be reporting this as if it's a new thing but I remember hearing about them back in the 90s. He's reputedly got at least as much unrealeased music as he has released...possibly much more. I suspect, among those archives, you may be able to find the following...

  • A concept album about The Wombles (I have it on good authority that "Raspberry Beret" was originally called "Madame Cholet" and was reworked after the Wombles album was canned due to a cease and desist order from the BBC)
  • An album of duets with Paul Shane
  • An alternate soundtrack written for the movie Downfall called "Das Untergangenfunken", in the same vein as his soundtrack to Tim Burton's first Batman movie
  • An album on which Prince recreates his greatest hits using only hambone and eefing.
