A release of a proper video collection

The 90's video collection had most of his early videos any news on a updated complete collection yet?

There can only be news if it's in the works already. So...no. There's not even been a proper release of WB years stuff. They'd do well to do it though, like MJ's Vision. Hell, I have a fan-made set of videos that is amazing. It has both versions of "I Wanna Be Your Lover", both versions of "Paisley Park" and "I Wish U Heaven", and anything else you'd want.

You guys have to give the estate & the people in charge time. You can just dump everything out at one time. It takes man hours, and work, and planning for a larger project like that. You have to stagger things, so the public can absorb it, promotion can play out in order to sell as much as possible, and make it available to everyone. Artwork, manufacturing, distribution, shipping, signage, media ads (radio, television, print, online, embedded, etc) - this shit takes times. Fans act like a 3 year old who wants instant gratification now Now NOW!

So no, there's no news yet. Because it's not even a thing that we know of. It's like asking "any news on the line of women's boots based on Prince's clothing?" What?!

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

An official release of a complete set of P's videos would be wonderful, but as in his life it looks like we face the same problem of the sheer volume of his work being a bit of an obstaclle to release and consumption and absorbtion.

Lol
