"The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale" is the twenty-second studio album by Prince. It was released in 1999 by Warner Brothers Records. The CD was submitted to Warner in 1996, complete with artwork at the same time as "Chaos and Disorder", but released three years later, shortly before Prince's Arista album release "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic".
Fans often complain that the songs have been overworked and watered down from the original versions that can be heard on various bootlegs, particularly "Old Friends 4 Sale". Little promotion was done in the United States or United Kingdom to support the album. "Extraordinary" was occasionally performed during his 2002 "One Nite Alone..." Tour.
