Printablewhat dodgy stuff has Warner's done?
lollylolly said: RepoMan said: As they should be. I only mentioned that the videos contained on the dvd are of amazing quality because of some of the dodgy stuff Warner Bros. has chosen to do/not do with alot of Prince's back catalogue. Hell,I gave up on expecting any of Prince's WB output to be remastered years ago... As they should be. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

How come they didn't include the Arms Of Orion video????? If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

....if he actually made a video for that shite (which he probably did and it's rotting away in the vault, which it should be doing), i'm committing fan hara-kiri.  | |

On the second disc, if you watch the segment entitled "The Gathering Storm," you will see Prince on the set of Batman. That's where I am so far. Don't know if he appears anywhere else yet. | |

I'm curious what was the rest of the theme of Partyman (the video?) "If I need trombone, my dog is handy, but if I want sax, I call Candy!" It's extended and extremely funky, with piano (by Prince) and sax solo by Candy Dulfer. And as 4 the other half of the video: http://www.princefams.com...=11&page=6 http://www.princefams.com...=11&page=7 Prince as Joker (Gemini-half Joker/half Prince) plays jokes on people at the party, a exploding cigar for a Weird Al look-a-like, fries a girls hair with his lighter "Say baby, whats u smokin? Well here, let me light it!" "Ouch u bastard, look what u've done to my hair!", gives corn with a banana peel over it to a monkey, then the biggest joke of all, kills everyone by poisoning the wine everyone drinks and the water that a girl is swimming in. Goodnight, sweet Prince. | |

in my book,WB not putting together remasters of Prince's back catalogue is dodgy amongst other things. | |

lollylolly said: Handclapsfingasnapz said: duuuuude...that rots. weirdly enough i didn't even know an edited version of that video even existed, i've always seen the full-length one.  alot was edited out from the full version such as when he lights the girls face,the monkey and the banana,the exploding cigar etc...shame. I just waited for that exploding cigar and nothing! Having Scandalous in pristine quality is wonderful though. And Batdance is a classic - I was terrified that they would chop that one up as well | |

I'd pick it over Delirious, Horny Toad or Jack U Off any day. Not to mention the lame ass shit he has released in the past 7 years or so. Repo Man's got all night, every night. | |

Tell me which other artists signed to WB have gotten their back catalogue remastered and which haven't. Then try to explain to me why it's so weird. I bet you can't. exactly what is your argument here? I feel that WB & Prince should come to terms and put the remasters together,most "fan's" would want this also,wouldn't they?Many folks here and at the other web sites complain about this point almost daily!consensus say's-REMASTER THE PRINCE BACK CATALOGUE!! what would putting together a list of who and who doesn't have remasterd albums availiable prove?nada...ziltch... we are not talking about other WB artist's in this example,we are talking about Prince.Prince does not have alot of his WB product availiable in today's advanced technical medium,being standard redbook 24 bit remastered audio cd's. like I said,what exactly is your argument here? | |

I understand that taste is a personal matter and that one's opinion is to be respected-but-when you pick "arm's of orion" over tracks like "delirious" & "horny toad"-you speak volumes about yourself. You,repoman,have very bad taste. | |

If a lot of artists on WB would have had their back catalogue remastered, but WB would refuse to do Prince's, then you'd have a point. As it is right now there's nothing "dodgy" about it. WB simply won't consider remastering his stuff just because a few fans on a couple forums would like them to. BTW something that never was 24 bit never really will be 24 bit quality.

Apparantly I'm not the only person here who "don't understand shit" so I will school you a bit on digital recording(I won't bother giving my credentials,just trust me when I say that I know more than you in this area). You can take a 8,16 or 24 bit sample and convert the sample into as high as 96k. Also,as far back as 1979 WB were storing Prince's 2 track masters onto digital tape,making the 8 bit samples perfect 24 bit resolution-that was 1979-imagine what could be done with the original multi-track tapes and todays digital technology.The albums would sound much better I am sure. Seems to me there is no basis for your argument whatsoever and you are just trying for some strange reason to pick a fight with me. how original you are. [Edited 10/19/05 10:18am] | |

Then explain why artist's such as Dire Straits,Black Sabbath,Deep Purple,Montrose,Bonnie Raitt,Little Feat etc..all WB artist's,all have extensive remasters and Prince does not? It very well could be that Prince isn't giving his consent and so be it,I won't lose a wink of sleep over it. How do you validate Montrose,for example,having their albums remastered and not an artist like Prince? [Edited 10/19/05 10:27am] | |

to get back on topic:
there is something else of interest on the dvd besides the 3 music videos! on disc 2 there is a featurette called "road to gotham"(or something like that) during the filming of the batcave scene you see Prince,in full Lovesexy regalia,standing off- camera watching the scene being rehearsed! it only lasts for about 5 seconds but it is cool nonetheless. nice document of that era. ...dream of a physical evening,I long 4 a night within U. | |

[Edited 10/19/05 10:18am] Okay, you win. WB is fucking Prince over and you're 100% correct on the technical stuff.  Repo Man's got all night, every night. | |
