And we’re honored to have three pieces of his catalog in preservation, including 1985’s ‘Around The World In A Day’ and the forward-thinking funk of the HiTnRUN albums in 2015.

It’s a reminder that some records deserve to be treated as artifacts of a great artistic legacy.

Image of Prince

Ten years ago today, the world lost Prince. What he left behind still doesn’t sound like anything else.
Prince spent five decades refusing to stand still. He was always ahead of wherever music was going.

“So we got Jimmy Page," said Donovan.

"And aren’t we happy about that. Because what came out of that, was something that was pagan Celtic rock ’n’ roll, not a copy of American rock ’n’ roll.”

When Donovan wrote “Hurdy Gurdy Man,” he said to his producer, “This is for Hendrix.”

His producer disagreed. And Hendrix was too busy to record it anyway.

Talking Heads Tentative Decisions Demos and Live compilation album, encapsulated by Alliance Authentic.

Before "Psycho Killer" was a hit, it was a demo recorded in a college apartment.

Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live captures the original Talking Heads trio before the band broke big.

This was last year's RSD gem. Now the definitive collector’s version is encapsulated.

Though it didn't exactly start here for Musgraves, it's definitely a turning point in her career.

Kacey Musgraves album 'Pageant Material,' encapsulated by Alliance Authentic.

When Pageant Material dropped in 2015, country radio didn't know what to do with it. The fans did. "Biscuits" became an anthem. The album became a milestone.

Over a decade later, #KaceyMusgraves is a surprise #Coachella addition, with a new album on the way.

Alliance Authentic Is Selling The ‘Forever Copy’ Of Your Favorite Album Alliance Authentic launched earlier this year as a marketplace for encapsulated, never-circulated copied of beloved albums.

$1 billion.

That's what vinyl did in U.S. sales last year. The 19th consecutive year of growth.

And yet no one was preserving these records the way fine art, rare books, or sports cards get preserved.

That's the corner of the industry Alliance Authentic was built for. @forbes.com noticed.
