I've always been amazed that Lovesexy tour videos haven't been re-released on DVD. I had to make my own DVDs from my old VHSs before they wore out!

i would be very much excited by a supposed release from the WB back catalogue (with Bonus) than any NEW Album from the Purple Man....But Prince doesn't care about what i want (or some fans want) .....so it's a waste of time!


Peace M

Can't really think about this, can only guess about it.

My guess is that he's worried about overexposure; he's not interested in doing the work; or he doesn't think it's important.

I sure wish he'd sell DVDs of his concerts. Especially the two my daughter got onstage with him.

DVD's of past concerts and Remasters of old releases MAY be a part of his retirement plan (a way to bring money in when he decides to stop touring). In the meantime, Prince seems to be moving in a forward direction - toward new material and projects. It does not upset me that Prince does not broadcast his every next move. I'm much too busy trying to figure mine out. Whatever Prince releases, and whenever he chooses to do so, is right on time with me.

Yeah, but that's art. The business side is, if the DVDs sold enough to make a profit. If that's so, then Prince knows there are more people that like the stuff than don't.

I heard the comedian Jay Mohr put it in perspective once, while talking about a crappy movie he was in. He said to the heckler, "Look at it this way - you paid, and I GOT paid".

as 4 releasing his latest tours on dvd i can understand y they haven't cause they weren't all that in the 1st place.

as 4 past tours (purple rain and lovesexy) i wouldn't mind those since i have them on vhs as well.

remastering-that's related 2 his masters and disputes with WB and i doubt they will ever happen
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Simple... he doesn't want to (or feel the need to).

When it comes to his own past, he has zero interest. He's only interested in
what the next project will be and really doesn't want to waste his time (as he
sees it) sorting out or revisiting what he's already done.

100% agree.....I guess I wish that he would come around on this.
When I can pick up remasters of lame ass artist at every record shop, it's disheartening 2 know that this material will probably never see the light of day.

I don't think Prince owes his "fans" anything....but I think he owes the music loving world at least a remastering of his 1978-1999 material.

M....i appreciate you as a Person but this Kind of question is a waste of time.....i prefer the word "When" than the word "Why"....."why" doesn't interest me....Prince doesn't want to release his Back catalogue with unreleased stuff..this is his reply...and i'm sad about it...that's it

he has revisited already his Back catalogue or a great Part of this around 1998-99...so what u said about Prince and his own Musical Past is not 100% exact!

True, but having done it once, he's in no hurry to do it again. Plus, that was
an opportunity to re-invent the past (which is slightly more interesting to him
than preserving or archiving it).

he lives in the NOW
an idea more than a week or two old is too far in the past for him
y'know, i can understand him not wanting to "waste" his time
but at least hand over the job to someone who cares
