You know it's really a sad commentary on Prince's part that we fans go crazy when a boots of videos and movies and stuff are readily available like this.

I'd love to see these DVD's but I get simply angry at Paisley Park for not listening to Prince fans.

One thing though, is that ya'lls gave me an idea...just get the laserdiscs a laserdisc player and a DVD recorder. Simple.

I'm planning on getting the DVD recorder to transfer lots of video I have.

This was brought up in a previous thread, but I think it is worth mentioning. I don't think Prince is involved in the BRAVE releases, but I do believe he had something to do with bootlegging.

Whether it be turning his head or slipping material to certain people. What other artist has such quality & quantity of bootlegged material? Look at the Sabatoge and Thunderball stuff..it's beautiful.

Where do all of these pictures come from too? I think the NPGMC was an attempt to put him in control of the botlegs.

He would then be able to get out the non-album tracks and live material he wanted (and that mean old WB would never let him) and all the money would come direct to him.

We easily pay $20-$40 for a bootleg- why not pay Prince $100 or $25 for a subscription to get it directly from the man?

He's got to know that for many, many of us, the interest in him has been fueled by bootleg material. I'd love to get the real story one day. I bet it is quite twisted.

I had problems as well!!! and i have a brand NEW DVD player, not a cheap one and CD-R+ playable; had to send back Beautiful Strange to swap it for SOTT coz it kept on beeing "stuck" after the interview; First Avenue is fine though; and now i just got ONA in Japan and it doesn't play AY ALL;

just a reminder: ix-nay on the sking-ay!!! it's cool to talk about the info, but the next person i see askin for an orgnote with a link to the website is gon' get a spankin!!!

try me.

hey handclaps can I get a link to all of your pictures on your website?

Go ahead... I double dare you to spank me.

Well to squash the flames, there isn't a "Web Site" and Brave isn't a "Bootleg Record Label", they don't do any audio boots, it's simply fans putting stuff together mainly for themselves, but doing it in a professional quality, why go halfway, when you can do it your best!

Oh no, I knew it...now, they're making money off this stuff? Hmmm...I hope they send a check to Paisley Park.

The Diamond and Pearls video collection is ripped from the video and is tracked.

Ok, it's been confirmed, I think the major source of the "Bad Discs" that I've seen people complaining about are coming from a Euro dealer named "Just4U" (Jeroen), who is selling bad copies. He is obviously trying to duplicate them himself, and is doing so on bad/cheap media and doesn't know what he's doing since a lot of people seem to have problem with various discs he's selling, be it Brave DVD's or other releases like the ONA Japan disc or the 1st Ave. disc. So watch it if you know him or see him offering them, they aren't from the sources.

on the artwok for the brave dvd of d&p video collection, at th back at the bottom, in small upside down faded writing are the names of the videos on the gett off maxi video, clockin the jizz etc. i thought maybe these were included on the dvd as a hidden easter egg, but cant find them. anyone know anything about this.

On the last menu, at the bottom there is an "" like the one on the artwork. click on that and you will get another menu with all the videos you mentioned.

Damn near enuff, it's all digital man!

Only the audio in Laser Disc is digital, not the video.

The Laser Disc video quality is between VHS and DVD.
