Dis a bid'ness! And you ain't too far gone to see dat yet!

Besides, Prince never edited any remaster, and they've released "We Can Fuck". So yeah, bid'ness & all that.

And ain't nothin' wrong with a little slap n' tickle. Tah-rust me on that.

lol...i know i know

So can we expect 2morrow new stuff? America, Paisley Park, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes (I don't think though), Raspberry Beret?

I should have bet!!!!!

America, Paisley Park, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes & Little Red Corvette added!!! So great! Mostly for
4 The Tears In Your Eyes in a great quality!

LITTLE RED CORVETTE, AMERICA, PAISLEY PARK have been uploaded but strangely are set on unlisted so you won't see any notifications that they have been uploaded...

4 THE TEARS IN YOUR EYES is also up, also unlisted...

Still no PURPLE RAIN...

I hope Raspberry Beret and Purple Rain get up there soon. I'm looking forward to the Parade videos too.

I didn't even know there was a 4 The Tears In Your Eyes video, that was a nice surprise hehe.

Don't know why they are set on unlisted... Just promote properly they always play games with Prince's stuff.

At last! From a fan's perspective, his rejection of YouTube was a harebrained mistake.

. Yup. The best free marketing he could have done. I just saw a news report where a woman put up slime videos on YouTube and made enough to buy her parents a house. . If he had put his own up, it would have been a more legitimate move to remove others. . But he was bullheaded in an analog way. . [Edited 7/7/17 8:21am]

He was so eyerollingly analog sometimes. Like, dude seriously consider the fac that the world is no longer analog; we're digital now and you're gonna have to suck it up. Learning to play an instrument is great -- I certainly am proud of being able to do so -- but there are some amazing things done with technology today that's just as great. I refuse to be stuck in the land of Grumpy Old People being all, "Back in my day with REAL music!" Nope, the technology-fueled music is just as real, and it takes just as much dedication and skill to do it right. Check out Seinabo Sey's stuff -- it's pretty techno, but it's also wonderful, and the gal can sang.

I mean, besides, learning to play instruments is being cut out of schools these days, so how the fuck else are kids going to make music?

Raspberry Beret just got added

At least put a concert video of Purple Rain up there, for completionist's sake!

Yep, and a few other tasty ones.

I just noticed that the guitar Prince plays in "4 the Tears In Your Eyes" is the same acoustic guitar Wendy played in "Raspberry Beret". I'd not even noticed the unique painting on the front of it until I saw the Guitar & Bass book talk about it. Watching 4TTIYE right now, I notice he's using the same guitar here. Those are the only two times I recall seeing that particular acoustic guitar.

Just like the previous videos, these new additions are also popping up on iTunes as well. And also like the previous videos, to find them there, you have to search for each individual song since they don't appear on the Prince page.

They are all up on TIDAL and SPOTIFY as well.

Warner Brothers is in charge of the YouTube channel. Who knows what involvement the Estate has.

even if that was true the estate approved it!

But YOUTUBE was not offering artist any money at all when it first started and what they offer now is not much. The invention of YOUTUBE did not help music sales. In addtion, you could always find stuff if you looked so he was never completly gone from YOUTUBE. I suspect he had a dollar figure and Goggle was not going to meet his price.

You all always repeat on this forum 'Yotube is not paying,Spotify is not paying'. There are local bands in my country that are buying their houses and paying the rent with their youtube views. Imagine artists like Prince who can easily get 100m views, okay he won't make 10m dollars from youtube but he could still make decent money. It's better than not money at all, and videos are promo for the album/new music/tour etc.

Prince was delusional about this and his fans too. Look at Madonna, U2, Paul McCartney, look at any legend, their music is available everywhere and they are selling stadiums/arenas around the world.

If Hit N Run albums had music videos on youtube, singles on spotify, i am sure the albums would be Top 10 like Art Official Age at least. Those albums didn't even touch the Top 40.

[Edited 7/7/17 11:27am]

May I suggest for the benefit of the estate to mandatory add a 15 or 30 second advertisement you need to watch, before the actual video starts. I noticed google adsense displayed on some videos, however most viewers will click the X and close it out and no revenue to the estate, yet enjoyed what was created for the viewer. Monetizing Prince on youtube is a must to consider,, otherwise watch ad free on Tidal, which requires a monthly fee

Holy frigging crap... RASPBERRY BERET. Finally! My favorite Prince video, and it's the clearest it's ever been. Wow.

.

That makes me so happy. I'm gonna go listen to ATWIAD now.

Are we eventually going to get them all? Not just WB videos? When i subscribed i got this in my YT feed..

All Official Prince Music Videos Playlist by Prince

Interesting.

So through Parade: what is missing?


"Anotherloverholenyohead"?

Was there an actual Video for "Purple Rain"?

and I am sure there was the 3rd video from "Prince"?

and answers a question Ive had for years

how come no videos were made for 1st album?

luvsexy4all said:

although there had been videos made for decades before they were not near as common in 78 as they became in the mid-80s. I am not sure Prince was ready...image wise or performance wise. His first concerts (as a signed act) in January 79 showed him as not yet ready... by Aug he seemed to have worked out some of the kinks and worked in others and had the beginnings of his look and style that would dominate his style for decades to come.

What pisses me off is that I bought some videos on Itunes (as I wanted the best resolution on top of the downloaded videos of Youtube) & some videos (I Wanna Be Your Lover & 4 The Tears In Your Eyes) are altered (white lines appears as it was an VHS tape).

I downloaded the iTunes "I Wanna Be Your Lover" video and just watched it on my phone and didn't notice any difference.
