you would think with the kind of year Prince is having it would be a great idea to get a DVD collection together of all his Music Videos instead of the lame one we got with 9 videos on it in 1994.....hopefully some company has this in the works

cosigning...

It would good money for him, but does Warner own the videos from those early recordings also?

Just joking.

Yes, he would make a killing, because, as I understand, there are many videos that were released in Europe and not in the U.S. We would eat it up if he released those also.

That's would be a great ideal!! & the movies too (with commentary)...

Is that the "hits" video?

a lovesexy show from Dortmund ( thats in Germany ) was released on VHS in two parts here in europe. if you folks in the states missed that then that blows. i believe that was the high point in Prince's touring career. have seen every tour live since but still Lovesexy is the one !!! hope it makes a dvd debut that would be great.

Try Ebay!!

I'd love to have all the vids on the Launch site. I'm surprised one of you intelligent computer types hasn't hacked that site yet.

However, if WB were smart, they would ride the wave and release it!!!

All of it.

Hopefully we'll get PR, UTCM & GB later this year. Anyone heard anymore on that one?

I cannot attest to the quality of ANY of these, but I thought it was a VERY interesting site to say the least:

This one is also cool - pics of many of his appearances on US shows since 1990:

What exactly is that site? Is he for real or straight up?

Well, linking to sites selling bootlegs is against the rules here, so before this thread gets locked or deleted, I will say a few things about that site you linked to.
1. I doubt that any money is being given to charity from the sale of these bootlegs.
2. The quality of a lot of the DVDs listed there is highly questionable, and complaints regarding the quality of this person's wares are all over other Prince sites.
3. It appears that with some of these DVDs he just takes discs that have been put together by fans, that have been made freely available in trading circles (for NO money) and sells them as his own creation.
When it comes down to it, however, it's your choice.

I was just about to ask if this was gonna be locked. I was trying to find out if it was

sanctioned or not (by P) so it seems as if it isn't then I won't speak about it anymore.

the hits is lame, but it does have 15 videos, I think they left off most purple rain videos, probalby for some movie related reason...like it would interfere with the Purple Rain Movie DVD, Or Warners Films had the rights to that instead of Warners music...something like that i'm sure.

LAProducer said:

You could be right about that. I hope WB releases a 20th anniversary Purple Rain DVD (that would be wise considering the current Prince resurgence) and maybe that will include the videos as extras.

how many videos would that actually entail.. i mean if the properly filmed videos were released as a collection (by properly filmed I mean not concert footage)

Well, I assume you have all received a copy of the pm that Mr. Quinn sent me with regards to my comments about his bootleg DVDs. I stated "I doubt that any money is being given to charity from the sale of these bootlegs." Following the link he sent me via pm, his name does indeed appear on the list of contributors to the Lil' Angel Bunny Foundation for April. As to how much he donates, there is no information.

I stand by my other 2 comments.

I did receive a PM from him. Whatever. I wasn't going to buy any - I just thought they were interesting sites. Didn't mean to cause trouble people

I think it was pretty harsh of you to imply that his philanthropic claims were merely a ruse to scam money.
