PrintableComing up on the next episode of The Ernest Experience Radio Show, it's Prince! Again. But we're approaching the show in a very different way for us.
Most, but not all, DVDs have an audio commentary track from either the director, one or more of the actors, or anyone else involved directly with the film.

We decided to do the same thing for a Prince DVD. No we're not the first to do this w/ a Prince DVD, but we might be the first to do with with this DVD. We are going to do an audio commentary track for The Hits Collection DVD released in 1993. Please note: We will be skipping "Sign O The Times", and "I Would Die 4 U". "Sign O The Times" is a bit of a karaoke video. "I Would Die 4 U" is a live cut from the Purple Rain period that we will revisit later. Since the show is only one hour, and the DVD clocks at 61 minutes, deleting those two tracks will put us under the 60 minute mark - barely. With the deleting of the two tracks, our time will be roughly 51 minutes to get through the DVD nonstop.
How will we do this? When the show starts, we'll quickly explain what we just mentioned in the paragraph above. This is how we'll start together.
How will we do this? When the show starts, we'll quickly explain what we just mentioned in the paragraph above. This is how we'll start together.
1) Put your DVD in your player; the DVD will auto play
2) Choose the Main Menu option
3) In the menu, you'll see "The Songs", "Subtitles and Closed Captions", and "Back To Video". Choose "The Songs"
4) When you see the first few tracks listed, choose "Peach"
5) As soon as your screen goes black hit PAUSE; your DVD's timer indicator should be at 00:00.
6) We will count down, "3, 2, 1, GO" On "GO" hit the PLAY button.
Just a reminder: The title page of "Prince - The Hits Collection" is part of the "Peach" track, so don't worry that you're too early or will be out of sync. You're right on cue that way.
For those on the air: please keep your volume turned down so your phone doesn't pick up the audio. You can leave it low enough that you can hear it, but it won't bleed into the broadcast.
When "Sign O The Times" comes up, we will just immediately tell everyone to hit the NEXT or FORWARD button on your remote. That will take us immediately do "Diamonds and Pearls". We will repeat this step when we get to "I Would Die 4 U", skipping directly from "Little Red Corvette" to "Raspberry Beret".
So the track list will be:
"Peach"
"Uptown"
"1999"
"Alphabet St."
*
"Diamonds and Pearls"
"Controversy"
"Dirty Mind"
"I Wanna Be Your Lover"
"Little Red Corvette"
*
"Raspberry Beret"
"Kiss"
"Cream"
"7"
*Incidates the skipping forward
