Erm ,that's it really. Excellent timing & really too good to be giving away but if it reaches the uninitiated or recently initiated, that's all good.xx

Cool - I don't have it on DVD.

Maybe they'll give away Purple Rain, Under the Cherry Moon etc.??!!! Perhaps we should have a screening of all Prince films?!!

Think that was suggested here on another thread as something VUE at O2 should've done.

It's part of 'Greatest Concert Films Ever' giveaway- there's a piece in today's Observer, read it through link below. 'Stop Making Sense' by Talking Heads will be week after, also superb but not as...

Damn I just ordered it from amazon canada (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0006HC5SC/702-8801415-6552805) but it's the digitally remastered version though, I would have thought the giveaway version is the crappy European vhs-dvd transfer.

Apparently the remastered Canada one is THE one to have, so you made a wise purchase.

Great timing - I was just comparing my Brazilian and Dutch DVDs today and thinking I need to get the new DVD version.

The Brazilian DVD has no video glitches and runs at the correct speed (NTSC) but is a but muddy sounding. Also it has a couple of weird very short edits in "Play In The Sunshine" for some reason.

The Dutch release has video glitches like it's off a VHS master and runs too fast since it's a PAL transfer. The sound is clearer than on the Brazilian DVD but is still nothing to write home about.

As for this freebie, unless it's NTSC it will probably run slighly too fast (by 4%) seeing as it is a film transfer. I'll wait to see but I am guessing the Candian NTSC release will still be the one to get - correct speed plus decent picture and sound.

Still not sure what the best aspect ratio should be for this film - was it shot full frame 4:3? If so a widescreen version will miss some of the picture top and bottom?.....
