Nicely put...

At least he's gone with a centre left paper this time rather than the Nazi on Sunday. Bring on a free remastered Lovesexy with the Daily Star..

Big Adverts in todays Metro. Excelent. Lots of interested people at work as well!

So after 4 pages of bullshit we are still none the wiser!...can we put our hands on it Sunday? .....or have we got to collect tokens?...a simple answer please as we are losing the will to live!!!

Welcome to Observermail where you can find out what's coming up in Sunday's paper as well as what's happening online right now.
Free on DVD this Sunday with The Observer, Prince: Sign 'O' The Times. Widely considered to be one of the best concert movies ever made, Sign 'O' The Times is an explosive mix of the stunning music and exuberant theatrics that have made Prince one of the most exciting stars in the history of pop. Filmed on location during Prince's legendary 1987 tour and at his own studio in Minnesota, and written and directed by Prince himself, the film features 15 classic tracks including Little Red Corvette, Housequake, and Sign 'O' The Times. UK and ROI only.

Really nicely presented. The DVD will come with the Sunday newspaper. No tokens.

I even heard it advertised on Smooth FM. Playing the Live version of SOTT in the background. Think it was Jo Whiley talking about the greatest live Concert ever.....

'The Observer' has wide distribution abroad. I actually saw something about it's distribution on a business report fairly recently so if u want to get it, have a word with your newsagent who will call the warehouse and get one in for you tomorrow. Do it quick! This shouldn't be much of a problem to get so long as you realise you've got to order it in.

Meanwhile, check out the site's preview page:

just seen an advert for it on tv only caught the end bit as i was flicking through channels but all it said was free in sunday's observer so i guess it will be like the album and be in the paper rather than tokens or a go and collect thing

Will Prince have made this deal or will it be Warners getting at Prince by giving this away?

Savage said:

The stupidity of some fans... Yeah, it was WB who gave the LRC clip from the SOTT movie to the makers of Corvette for an ad campaign a couple of eyars ago. Oh wait, no, that was Prince whoring out one of his "children". PRINCE owns the SOTT movie. That's why it wasn't on DVD for years, FYI.

Not that this is a secret, you can figure it out by LOOKING AT THE COVER OF THE VHS/DVD. Or by LOOKING AT THE MOVIE.

And if you don't have it, LOOK IT UP:

http://www.imdb.com/title...anycredits -- do you see WB somewhere in that list?

Now let's compare that to http://www.imdb.com/title...anycredits , http://www.imdb.com/title...anycredits , and http://www.imdb.com/title...anycredits

All this stupid anti-WB crap: I dare you to find a single artist who's had more leniency from his record label. Just look at all the crap the fans have had to put up with since the mid-1990s: do you think that wasn't happening before? Of course it was, except back then we didn't know about it because it stopped at his managers and/or his record company.

They stopped the release of The Black Album LESS THAN A WEEK before the release on Prince's request. My god, what evil bastards. They let him out of his contract while he hadn't delivered all of the required albums -- how dare they? They took his opinion into consideration when compiling the latest Greatest Hits -- what inconsiderate assholes. They lost MILLIONS by funding Paisley park records.

Warners haven't done a single thing to spite Prince, even though he has told numerous lies about them. Warners could easily have sued him dozens of times, and could have easily bankrupted him in the process. If they'd pulled all the shit that Prince has pulled on people like Levi Seacer or Margie Cox, then you'd have a point. Except they didn't, and instead it's PRINCE who's exploited artists, who's tied them to harsh contracts, who's screwed people out of money.

And the fans asking for copies from the UK: WTF? Learn about PAL speed-up: this is a R2 DVD so that means it's in PAL which means there's a 2% or so speedup of the movie. And yeah, it is noticable. Sheesh, just buy the Canadian release that was sourced from a HD-master.

Except of course that SOTT isn't a real concert movie. 99% of the video was made in PP, with Prince playbacking to a tape. Only a couple of general audience shots are real.

Whereas the Talking Heads movie is an actual recording of an actual show (well, two shows, actually).

Ordered my Observer for tomorrow - and will have the dog ready to set loose if the paperlad dares to come without it

WTF

PRINCE


HUH MAN I WANT SUM FREE STUFF IN THE NEWSPAPERS!!!!! huh but i guess america is 2 greedy to do that huh??

Boni Boyer in the house!!

It's a BRILLIANT remastered version! Audio and video are SUPERB.
And yes...this was Prince's gift.
The ONLY copyright notice is from the company Prince formed to make the movie (Purple Films). No WB or other logos.

Loads of people sticking this on their DVD players right now. I can feel it.
THIS is the way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of SOTT!!!

Thanks, Prince!! We LOVE ya!!!

"S-LAM IT!"

Ain't nuthin but a muffin...and we got a lotta butter t'go

Got myself a copy this morning!

Just to confirm this is a great DVD. I bought the European DVD a while back and it looked like it was copied from video - awful. This 'free' DVD is pretty much perfect from the 20 minutes I've watched so far. If you're in the UK, go to the shops now!

Everybody raise yo hand!

"CONFUSION!"

Sweet

watching it now

PureScience said:

Got it... watched it ..loved it ..how good is Sheila E ..forever in my life classic..run to the shops quick...

I got the Observer this morning which I always buy anyway so it was extra pleasing to pick up the DVD with it. I've not watched it yet but I've noticed that 'U Got The Look' is listed as the 1st track on the DVD. Is this an error or have they re-edited the original recording?

I'v got me 3 copies. Dunno y, just seemed like the natural thing 2do.

& I'v already got 2 original DVD's & the original VHS on my shelf... maybe I am ill?

JDInteractive said:

It's an error. Plays as normal - thankfully!!

djenerate said:

I got my copy for free this morning, I asked nicely to my local newsagent that I was not interested to buy the Observer and that I only wanted to get the C.D and he gave it to me, I could not stop grinning!

djenerate said:

No no, u should b leavin em 4 the none Prince fans, let em c what they've been missing

Bensonrad said:

Nope its an actual giveaway - I got mine so the dog was kept at bay from the paperlad Will watch it tonight with a small drink of orange (ok - and a dash of voddie) and sing!!

Itis actually better quality. Looks sharper and the sound is much clearer. Excellent for £1.60

May buy another copy!

Savage said:

Huh, I paid £1.90...I've been ripped off by my local newsagent
