Nice read about what the Prince archivist is doing and finding.

Nice read indeed. Thanks for that.

Mike "was" the freelance everything on this project.

Cassette tapes from 80-89 should never be baked & it seems as this failed and a clone is what was used.

The interview I taped and circulated of Jerry Garcia is also from 1983 & was even on a shitty low end Radio Shack cassette tape & still plays like day one.

We bake tapes from 1970-75, if they were stored improperly.

There is no vault; he messed up & should have had tapes rolling 24/7 from 84-2004

A tape of Prince playing Piano from 1983, is degrading the color Purple as pigment.
