Hundreds of songs, music videos, and at least one documentary may finally see the light of day as the vault in Prince’s Paisley Park estate has been drilled open, according to KSTP-TV.
For Prince’s fans, the vault, no doubt, contained untold treasures that until now have only been glimpsed here and there as snippets, bootlegs, and eyewitness accounts.
A Minnesota judge-appointed trustee to Prince’s assets, Bremer Trust, had to force its way into the vault, as only Prince knew the combination, KSTP-TV reported.
Here’s what we know about the contents of the vault:
Hundreds of Songs
There are at least 392 unreleased songs that Prince wrote or co-wrote, according to PrinceVault.com, an “unauthorized, unofficial, independent non-profit website,” as it describes itself.
The website lists varying degrees of detail for each song, including the year of release, ranging from 1973 to 2015. Some of the songs may have been performed live, so there may exist bootleg recordings. Others are a complete enigma---recorded and then locked away in the vault.
