I almost prefer the choroegraphy for this version.

Yeah. A fantastic hot mess.

Impossible, what energy and to be able to sing...

It seemed as if Prince was rarely out of breath,

sometimes he even staged it... to make it look hotter than hell

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for RJOrion. Another smash hit post from RJOrion.

if the estate really was more in tune with prince, this is exactly the type of thing they would be selling.

Great footage-- but isn't this just the movie version from multiple camera angles? It's not different choreography is it?

Quite a lot of this take seems to have made it into the final cut, but there are differences. The "jammed gun" mime at 3:32 for example. Also, at 4:30 the guys mess up and Prince falls on his arse, that definitely didn’t make it into the movie. Nice to see. I've always liked this and the various live versions I've heard much better than the studio track.

From watching it many times, the choreography is largely different than the take that made it into the film. Mostly, his hand movements. My god, he was prolific, how many takes, including different choreography, are there for all the other "videos" in the film??

SDE: Michael, one thing I must ask you about is the Sign O’ The Times film. It isn’t part of this box set. Why not?

MH: I can do my best to explain why not. The short-ish version is that Prince sold the rights to the film in 1987 and the film went through a number of different rights-holders basically, and the difficulty in untangling all of those rights worldwide, was so problematic that we couldn’t really figure out how best to do it and present the film as part of the overall body of work. It’s unfortunate – we intended to – but the rights issues became so problematic, primarily because Prince sold them in the early days, that we could not disentangle every single knot and get it agreed upon in time to include in this body of work. And unfortunately, the film rights extend to both of the concerts that were recorded as part of the film rights – meaning Rotterdam and Antwerp – so we couldn’t really use any of the music from those two shows [either]. So as a result, what we wanted to do was make this the most comprehensive look at the album and the music we possibly could, and then I hope at some point – this is just me thinking aloud – at some point in the future I hope we can represent the film in a more holistic and comprehensive way.

SDE: You’ll be well aware that Turbine Media in Germany put together a pretty impressive deluxe edition of the Sign O’ The Times film for the German marketplace.

MH: I know. We talked to Turbine, we tried to get all of the territories cooperating but it was just very, very difficult. It wasn’t for lack of trying. We certainly wanted to include it but unfortunately just could not.

except Prince sold all the raw footage and audio for the movie.... so the estate would have to get it back.
