I went to HMV today, managed to get 'The Hits' dvd - last one on the shelf, hooray! But no Glory Years or Purple Doves in stock, they said I would need to order it! They had loads of PR and Rave DVD's. I wonder how many Prince has sold since the O2?!

i'm planning 2 put Purple doves interv on ebay at weekend. keep ur eyes peeled if ur interested!

My copy is on it's way. I'll let you know what it is like when I get and watch it!

Anyone else got it yet?????

Post your review here!

Still waiting...

vivid said:

You had your email saying it's on its way from HMV?

I didn't think it would happen but it's now on its way. Can't find it in the shops though. Just the interviews that don't include anything with Prince on it. No music, performance or videos.

Got my purple doves dvd last week from play.com, pretty good, some decent interviews, wonder why all these unofficial dvds are cropping up?

Is this the one with his cousin who was the drummer in the school band? A bit bitter that he was dropped? I think it is an old video put onto DVD.

It has arrived. I'll be watching this tonight and I'll let you know if it's any good or not!

I've received The Glory Years, only watched about half of it so far. Not bad, nothing particularly new so far, but interesting anyway - Paul Gamboccini (spelling?) is always interesting to listen to I think. Good to show people who don't know much about Prince maybe? What did you think Savage?

Waiting for Purple Doves to arrive next.... this is costing me a fortune!!

I got "Purple Doves" and "Glory Days" from Amazon.de . Quite nice, but I haven't time now 2 watch them all, only in a zapping way. I didn't expect Prince music (only backround music by a nobody while watching Prince videos. That's normal for bootlegs like this because of the copyright.) but there is some music by Prince on glory days. I think the stories and interviews are quite interesting. I had some of the interviews on Purple days, but not all of 'em.

Savage said:

No, it's another one. That was called 'The early days or years'

Is this the one they were playing on VH1 about a year ago?

Mine's arrived - Pretty good - I mean it's shit in production terms but Dez, David Z, Alan Leeds, and Paul Gambicini all make good contributions and unlike the early years vid it actually features his music/vids. It doesn't have much competition but it's the best attempt I've seen yet at doccing him.

Fun quiz on the extras - I got one wrong! So ashamed!

We enjoyed it. Surprised by the music and videos. It covers early years up to Batman.

Bits I didn't know. Dez Dickerson helped draft the first version of raspberry beret. Plus a pic of Prince snogging his bandmate Gayle Chapman. Some previously unseen photos as well.

Not done the quiz yet but hope I get them all correct.

I think the 'Princely tales' are pretty funny too, the story about MJ, and Prince says "he's too busy to talk to you right now, he's got a hit coming out", about David Rifkin?
