Dude, 99% of that shit is SD. Utterly pointless to put it out on BD. I mean no offese, but really... I can't imagine Bart, you are having that many friends in real life, if you always are talking like that, I mean it's not what you say, it's more the way you're talking to people, Bart. Btw. a BluRay disc contains more than a standard DVD, maybe that was what Razord was referring to: all Prince's music videos on 1 disc... [Edited 3/8/10 6:24am] Prince 4Ever.  | |

Listened to his latest albums? I don't understand how you lot can look at Prince's output and think "this is the work of a perfectionist". I would argue that his recent musical output is too polished and well produced. I would like a return to a sparse, minimalistic and raw sound (Dirty Mind, SOTT). And the site was his failed attempt at trying to do something different than the standard promotional advertisement. I agree that the video quality (Aladdin, Rave) have been pretty shoddy. He should give up some of the control over technical craft. | |

thedance said: This thread is pure speculations, but.... :
My guess is a lot of newbie fams haven't even seen the excellent tv-specials The Beautiful Experience (1994) or Love 4 One Another (1996). Maybe not the live performances: Purple Rain Syracuse (1985), Parade Birthday show Detroit (1986), Lovesexy Dortmund (1988)..... the Purple Rain benefit concert at 1st Avenue (1983), this list could go on and on.... this makes me wonder why Prince wants keep these and a lot of other recordings as "secrets", What are Prince's "motives" for not releasing these on DVD's: - Is he kind of a "masochist", he doesn't want to be mainstream / popular, he prefer to be a "cult" artist ? - his past puts on too high expectations on his present, Prince can't live up to his former success, therefor he always "looks forward all the time, never looking back", Prince likes to move forward ALL the time, his own past scares him a bit ? - Prince simply looses interests in promoting and selling his work, he moves on to other projects - skipping the "old" projects as fast as he can, he likes the creative process, but finds promoting boring ? - "the mean one": Prince simply doesn't care about what his fans needs ? - something else, what do you think it could be..... ? - Why are we not getting these on DVD's ? I couln't come up with a better thread, sorry if some of it is "repetition".. [Edited 3/3/10 4:59am] [Edited 3/3/10 5:05am] [Edited 3/4/10 18:21pm] ALL OF THE ABOVE. Plus he'd rather not share revenue with the folk who made him feel like a "slave". | |

BartVanHemelen said: You claim that remasters of Prince's stuff wouldn't be -- yet somehow obscure artists get remastered, and plenty of those remasters involve MAJOR labels.
"Elvis frikking Costello" as you refer to him, is hardly an obscure artist. | |
