What is this Prince DVD?

I saw this: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvw...sku=629169 in my local HMV - does anyone have it?

The front picture is nice but when you get up close it looks like a bootleg - the titles are spelt incorrectly or incompletely on the back. It's made by Pickwick.

It's also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/P...B000NVIKOY

I haven't seen some of these videos (e.g. Glam Slam) but it does seem dodgy. What gives?

Yeah it is a proper release....although oddly teh titles are spelt wrong as you say.

Its just a bigger and different collection of videos than The Hits DVD...couple of interesting videos but, as with so many things that prince hasnt had a direct say in, it looks as cheap as hell.

This is without a doubt an unofficial release. The videos have been transferred from tape.

Unauthorized, probably. Still, PickWick is an "official" & quite old label, i fail 2 understand why they'd risk a trial...
