Just curious why there are so many P videos. I realize he started in 78 with I Wanna Be Your Lover and many were popular and seen by many in the 80s. But Prince in the 90s I understand has released vids to many of his songs, yet here in Canada I maybe have seen Gold,Dinner With Delore,Betcha By Golly Wow and My Name is Prince. P has released a couple vid packages with D and P and Symbol records. Does anyone have a list of 90s vids and does anyone ever see these vids? Are they phenomenol like Kiss, Alphabet ST and Raspberry Beret were. I even enjoyed his rarely seen 80s vids (Paisley Park, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, Uptown). Anyone ever see a vid for Bambi?

Supposedly Bambi was only shown in europe.
I think his best 90's videos were "18 & over" "Zannalee" "Empty Room" .

Prince supposedly spent a lot of money making videos that never saw the light of day or were only seen by a few people. Granted that a lot of them had low production values but after a while, that can add up to a lot of money. Add to the fact that these videos didn't generate any profit & you begin to wonder about his business sense.

I'd like to make up a list for you but there's so many that I don't think I even know all the ones that were made. Maybe someone else?

In the 80'ies, there were so many Prince videos because business was running fine and around 3 tracks of each album were released as 7" with a video promo clip.

In the 90'ies, there were so many Prince videos because he did not realize his shrinking success and his no longer exisiting superstar status.

All the 90's video's I know of:

Thieves In The Temple
Cream
Diamonds & Pearls
Gett Off
Gett Off - Housestyle
Gangster Glam
Clockin' The Jizz
Strollin
Insatiable

The Same December
Dinner With Delores
The One
Come On
Betcha By Golly Wow!
Somebody's Somebody
The Holy River
Face Down
The Greatest Romance Ever Sold

...can't think of any more.

And "I Like It There"

Neversin posted a while ago that there are videos to most of the songs from all the albums from Come to Emancipation (correct me if I'm wrong Neversin).

Purple Medley had a video too.It was crap, but there was one.
Pussy Control
Nothing Compares 2 u
Violet The Organ Grinder
...all I can add to the list

You're right... He was on a video recording sprea back in the '90's and I doubt he stopped actually...
Almost every song on "Diamonds & Pearls", , "Come", "The Gold Experience", "Chaos & Disorder", "Emancipation" and most of "Crystal Ball" (including "The Truth") has a video, not to mention numerous unreleased songs have video's just for his viewing only I guess or maybe it's all part of his masterplan to rule the airwaves when he's dead...
If he died his estate could release about 3 unreleased video's a year for I guess more than 25 years...

damn... a vid for pretty much every track on 'Crystal Ball'?!
that's what like 30-odd songs. Prince was busy in the 90's.

Thanks for the list and additions everyone. I'm startled by all these videos, mostly unseen. I wonder, has any other artists have done the same. Maybe, like it was suggested he is trying to create his legacy, thinking these videos will be seen at a later date. It must have cost a ton of money. Also I bet most were done at Paisley Park , in order to save time and defray costs.

There was talk about releasing a video collection for Crystal Ball back on L4OA.

Another half-baked unfinished/unreleased project to add the (huge) pile.

Acknowledge Me! That was a video too.
