I'M SOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS:

Rounding out the extras is 13 minutes of MTV Premiere Party footage, which is hilarious (Mark Goodman...love the hair!), plus a collection of eight music videos, including five from Prince ("Let's Go Crazy," "Take Me With U (Live)," "When Doves Cry," "I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm a Star," "Purple Rain"), two from The Time ("Jungle Love," "The Bird") and the jaw-dropping, extended version of Apollonia 6's "Sex Shooter. A must-see!

I'm just so glad that we not only get the full I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm a Star, but also Take me With U! Yippee!

Now if only they'd put a little effort into Under the Cherry Moon... mad

By the way - did anybody actually see the video for Purple Rain, back in the day? Is it just the sequence from the movie?

I definitely recall seeing a video for 'Purple Rain', like on MTV or Night Tracks or wherever, and my memory of it is that that's all it was - the footage from the movie.

Do you have VH1 Classic? They have a request program - I wonder if they'd have the Screams of Passion vid and could show it if a bunch of people emailed and requested it? I haven't seen that one in ages, either. sad I had it on videotape but it got taped over! mad

I agree that this set is very lackluster. Warner's did not do a very good job. How in the hell does the Lost Boys get deleted scenes and not PR?

Forget this shitty release...
I'll just wait for the "blue ray" disc when they've milked the DVD format...

"Audio: How Does The Disc Sound?

We know it is all about the music, and Warner has given us a pretty good Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track. Truth be told, the music still sounds like it is in stereo and is comparable to recently soundtrack CD remaster."

I take it the writer of this review meant "comparable to recent soundtrack CD remasters" rather than comparable to a recent Purple Rain Soundtrack CD remaster? confused

Tell me that has not passed me by somehow! eek

wink
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.
