Has yours got the song 3 Chains Of Gold on it? Mine has it listed on the back but it's not actually on the tape. Wondered if they are all the same or not. Bought it when it first came out.

When Prince isn't emoting. Talk about a vanity project. Still decent though as a long form video.

It was played toward the end. Not in full, but rather the string section only. It's hardly recognizable that way, but it is the song.

Listen to the violins as Mayte does the Outro speech.

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Aha, thank you. I never noticed that back in the day, I was always bummed that one of my faves on the album didn't have a video! Can't easily check it out now as the video player is in the loft.

LOL Blu Ray? THAT? Good luck. It ain't even on DVD, that I remember, but it could be. Doubt it. Don't hold your breath for BluRay.

It's not a concert. It's more of a conceptual long form video. A loose story line about a Princess whose father is murdered. She runs to Minneapolis with the family jewels "the chains of gold" for protection. At the same time, Prince is causing havoc with the media and women. A reporter is hot on his trail, but always a step away. The Princess believes that Prince can save her and keep her legacy intact by protecting the chains. She sends him a video of her as a child when she appeared on the 80's variety show That's Incredible (she really was on the show). Prince's girl, Troy, is perturbed at Prince's bemusement and near obsession with the Princess, and ends up leaving him.

It SOUNDS a lot more intense than it is, really. It's all a loose story line, built around a bunch of music videos. The "My Name is Prince" and "Sexy MF" videos are truncated, which sucks. I'd love to see or have the whole "Sexy MF" video again. But it's worth having for the sake of your collection.

There's some titties and beaver in it, FYI.

I need to get me one of those lol

One of these days, I'm gonna do an Internet search for it, Love 4 One Another and The Beautiful Experince... I'd seen those two cool and can't wait to see them again.
Unfortunately, 3 chains o' gold, I didn't bother watching when I had the chance. I guess I wanted to wait until I got the album to see it so I don't judge b4hand doh! it wouldn't have made a difference, I didn't get into the song until much later.
But I would have LOVED to see how he presented the music from this album. Especially after what he did with the D&P video DVD cool the two go hand in hand, don't you think? cool
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

it's an string instrumental that plays during the closing credits, while prince negotiates with 'the japanese' and mayte reads the letter she sent to the fan magazine.
it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die

• Did you first think Prince was gay? •

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.
