The best parts of this video are the video clips inside the frame behind Damon, Kirk, & Tony. It's stuff Prince shot around PP and the Galpin house. There's sort of a clever shot of himself at the 6:30 mark, where he's recording his reflection in a mirror frame that sits on a console table. There is also a shot of his bedroom at the 6-minute mark. Also, the stained glass door to his area at PP gets a lot of play throughout.

I'm not always thrilled with the mix itself. I always wanted to skip past it when playing the EP.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Have you guys never seen the Gett Off video EP, with "Gett Off", "Violet The Organ Grinder", "Gangsta Glam", "Clockin' the Jizz", and this video???? It's been out since 1991.

Hey Trivial, or is it "petty" pursuit? LOL!

Thanks for boosting Latin's thread with your incredibly stupid and rhetoric question wink

Your sentences make zero sense. And actually I did add to the thread by noting very cool moments in the video, opposed to attacking anyone personally like you did.

See, I asked a question. "Have you guys ever seen the video EP?" Someone plainly posted "haven't seen this before". I'm surprised it's not been seen by a Prince fan by this point. But I understand that's possible. The video has been widely released since 1991, and frankly it's been posted on the Org before. It's a valid question.

However, your attempt to cut someone down for the sake of being personal (look up the term ad hominem) has totally derailed Latin's thread, thereby making you the culprit of your own accusation.

If that's the case and you were trying to enlighten "someone who plainly posted 'haven't seen this before' ", then you should've replied to pinkcashmiere23's post and not mine that had no relevance whatsoever to what I posted, therefore you have in essence derailed the thread with your "petty" and "trivial" nonsense. So why don't you "sit down", stfu, or better yet, bend over- in your case, I'm sure you'd prefer the latter. No definitions to look up on that one

I love Prince's 80's, 90's, 2000's & 2010's music equally.

My favorite song of the Diamonds & Pearl's era is "Insatiable". My favorite video from that album is the original version of "Gett Off".

Which are your favorites AnnaStesia10?

Thanks Latin, brings back great memories. The Gett Off Home-Video was the beginning of my P fandom, must have watched it a thousand times. Houstyle is my favourite Gett Off version as well.

There were so many remixes of "Gett Off", too. The Urge and Pump mixes were the same overseas as some in the U.S., just with different names. If one ever wondered how many ways a song could be remixed - "Gett Off" is the audible aid.

So true. I loved the US maxi single and played it to death. I'm with Latin - Houstyle was my favorite mix, but there wasn't a bad one.

I sorta wish he had done the same for the Cream EP. There were so many great mixes on that EP. Housebangers, Q In Doubt, etc. But to put out a video EP is something not too many folks were doing. Madonna's one video, "Justify My Love" sold a gazillion copies, but it still just one song (which was more than noteworthy of course).

Interesting note that the version of "Gett Off" on Tthe Diamonds and Pearls Video Collection has certain edits like the word "wet", but on the VHS EP, nothing is editing. I swear there's some titty in the original "Gett Off" too, near Tommy Barbarella (dude's obviously a tit magnet).

  1. Gett Off (tits)
  2. Gett Off (Housestyle) (home movies)
  3. Violet The Organ Grinder (a bit of a visual throwback to the sleeve insert on the 1999 album)
  4. Gangsta Glam (the shots in the swim trunks, doing push-ups at the yellow house, and his office at PP)
  5. Clockin' The Jizz (credit roll)


Good stuff.

I hoped for the same back in the day after seeing the Cream video on the D&P Video Collection. I could just picture The Steeles singing Do Your Dance and The NPG bouncing round simliar to the Willing & Able performance.

.

Totally agree on the Gett Off video collection - great times..
