The 3 Chains O' Gold video collection is excellent IMO. It's almost a crime its not out on DVD as it would really do it justice!

It is beautifully shot and very tastefully made. In terms of Prince's appearance I think this era is best, he looks great and I love the hairstyle and his fashion from that era.

Admittedly the story is rather confusing and doesn't really get resolved clearly but its really just a collection of nicely made videos weaved together. I also quite like the mysterious nature of the whole thing.

Favourite bits:

The Merry Go Round scene - beautiful

Prince getting off the Japanese bullet train

Prince lying on bed looking smouldering after being in bed with Mayte

7 video

I like the instrumental/funky track when the end credits roll....never heard that before, any idea what its called?

"The Call"

^ Thanks

I love the music and the style of this era... ...and the video is a convoluted mess BUT it's still interesting to watch, plus it's better than GB.

I can somewhat appreciate it. It sucks though that a lot of the videos are edited. I was fortunate enought to be at several of the video shoots. Amazing time to be a Prince fan, for me at least.

Bush everywhere. 10/10

Prince should never, ever touch cinematic equipment again.

It's ok, if it were given an official dvd release i'd buy it.

It's like a Salvador Dali and Terry Gilliam tripped acid while Prince and the NPG improvised a soundtrack. And every now and then Tony M. wakes up to puke up another bad rap. Utter shit.

Is there not more roller skating continued from D&P era here in the I Wanna Melt With U video?

Every Prince film and 80% of films/movies in general are better than Graffiti Bridge , 3 Chains O Gold was okay i guess, But I never really could get into it, & I still cant stand My Name Is Prince

LURVE it!!!

Never seen it

It sure ain't great, but I like that it exists, just as a snapshot of an era.

Wish we had one of these for every era... imagine how much fun an Around the World in a Day vid along these lines would have been? Or Dirty Mind?
