New Prince DVD in HMV!?!

Just popped into HMV in Norwich, UK and in the new release Music DVD section there is a new Prince videos collection simply called "The Videos".
It looks like a bootleg as the front cover is badly produced and some of the song titles are shortened or incorrect- has anyone else seen this or even purchased it- what is the quality like etc?
I didn't want to buy it as it looks unofficial and so the quality may be horrible.
If you go to the HMV website and look for Prince in music DVDs- it does appear, but without a sleeve photograph.

Steven.

This has been posted about several times but the Mods keep deleting the threads because of the bootleg-related nature of it. There's a review of this video over at Housequake:

Hey- thanks for the link. I see now why the Mods keep deleting my posts concerning this-
the DVD does look like a cheap bootleg and, from what I've just read on other sites, is poorly made.
Prince really needs to release a massive video collection with these videos included.

Again thanks for the link,
Steven.

Hi

I purchased this DVD in HMV Mansfield, UK a week or so ago... yep it is kind of rough, and certainly transfered straight from video - there are even some sound bars visible on some of the promos (which is sure evidence).

Where this is from... god only knows, but if you don't have a large collection of promo's already... for £7 it's well worth a gamble.

There is a good selection of videos on there (29)... and the better quality ones seem to be the ones that have not had an official release on either the Purple Rain, Under The Cherry Moon, Graffiti Bridge, Diamonds and Pearls and of course the Batman DVD's.

Complete List (pay no attention to the dvd package or menu)

Raspberry Beret
America
Girls & Boys
Mountains
Kiss
Anotherloverholenyohead
I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
U Got The Look
Alphabet St.
I Wish U Heaven
Glam Slam

Partyman
New Power Generation
Thieves In The Temple
Gett Off
Cream
Insatiable
Diamonds & Pearls
Monet Dont Matter 2nite
I Wanna Be Your Lover
Uptown
Dirty Mind
Controversy
Sexuality
Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad
1999
Little Red Corvette
Let's Pretend We're Married
Automatic

So... It's up to you

Hope this has been of some help to you smile

Yep... it's about time we had an official DVD release with all the promo's on it!
We can Funk!!!!
