War Child
So apparently alot of the unreleased material(studio outakes, live concerts, unheard songs) in Prince's vault is beginning to deteriorate. His stuff hasn't been baked and is in danger of being lost for ever and he's refusing to have it archived because he doesn't want people to hear it. I don't know whether its a rumour or not but apparently he has literally thousands of fully mixed complete unreleased songs. 5 or 6 vaults full of stuff so it would all be lost.
Plus Stevie Wonder also has an extensive vault that he actually says he wants destroyed when he dies.
A part of me says that as its their work and it belongs to them they have a right to do whatever they want with it, but the other part thinks that this stuff should be preserved for historical importance/significance if nothing else.
Prince often mentions the vaults of stuff he has but U2 rarely, if ever, even mention their own archives, and exactly what they contain is mainly all speculation, unreleased tracks, studio outakes, pro shot concerts from around Zoo TV onwards, soundboard recordings, but I hope they're doing all they can to make sure they preserve what they've got.
The chances of them releasing any of it in its full form are very slim, although they may release the odd clip for singles or bonus features on DVD re-releases, but it should all be maintained for historical purposes if nothing else.
