The Prince estate has announced plans to upload weekly batches of music videos, some rarely seen, from the late icon’s 1995 to 2010 output to video streaming sites.
The first batch of videos – 1995’sThe Gold Experienceand 1996’sChaos And Disorder – includes the music videos for “Gold,” “Eye Hate U,” “Dinner With Delores” and “The Same December” plus three videos that only diehard Prince fans have been privy to: “Endorphinmachine” was previously only available on a 1994 CD-ROM game, while “Dolphin” marked the first ever video to air on VH1 Europe in September 1994.
The video for the b-side “Rock And Roll Is Alive! (And It Lives In Minneapolis),” which initially aired on the January 1997 VH1 special Love 4 One Another and was a response to Lenny Kravitz’s “Rock And Roll Is Dead,” has also been unearthed, one of the videos that “had either been impossible to find or only available in substandard fan uploads taped off of television,” the Prince estate said.
The seven-week series will span Prince’s albums from 1995’s The Gold Experience through 2010’s LOtUSFLOW3R and MPLSoUNDand follows a recent compilation highlighting notable tracks from that era.
