1.90 as well, but agree the quality is far higher, appears to have been re-remastered. I pickup the dvd a couple of years back and it was an improvement to the flat sounding VHS but this version really kicks out of my 7 speaker Pc set up. Well played Observer and thank you Prince - is he after a British Passport or something?

One complaint about this free version: it's one continuous chapter. I ripped the official release onto my iPod a few weeks back and was able to stick the chapters in to easily skip to songs. I wanted to re-do it with this seemingly remastered DVD.

Why do you want to skip songs!

Come Prince stick a remastered version of Lovesexy on the Times please!!

LOL.
Now that's just being greedy

By the way, all the swear words were intact on the DVD.
So much for that theory.

Pardon me? Prince plays in Europe for 21 nights, not including all of the aftershows, and some of the Europeans have the nerve to moan and complain about everything.

It is a huge improvement on the VHS and German/Dutch DVD versions available to date, but here's a weird thing:

I have the Canadian remaster (which is the dog's bollocks). The picture and sound quality seem almost as good, if not in 5.1 but the sound is half a note sharp! They must have compressed the sound or something. I tried playing my guitar along to it and had to slide up a fret. Then I put on the Canadian DVD and my guitar was in perfect tune. Very strange!

That means that the film with the Observer is slightly shorter. Ask for yer fucking money back!

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.
