The Vault, Vol. 1 is a 2003 compilation album by American R&B singer and songwriter Eric Roberson. It is Roberson's second release following his first album, The Esoteric Movement in 2001. Roberson recorded the album after renting the New York venue Sounds of Brazil (SOBs) and running his own concert series to find an audience for his music, releasing many of these songs as The Vault, Vol. 1 after a few months of performing at SOBs with other emerging artists. The compilation included songs which were eventually re-recorded by other artists such as Carl Thomas, Musiq Soulchild and Dwele, which would lead Roberson to re-release the album the following year as The Vault, Vol 1.5, with extra new songs and an altered tracklisting.
