Hey LL Cool Pac, go over to housequake.org and sign up. they have a video forum where people upload videos. And you really shouldn't have got those 2 albums man, lol. Gold Experience is good, but NOWHERE NEAR his best work, and Graffiti Bridge is just average. I'd suggest you start with these purchases:
1. The Hits/The B-Sides : 2 CD's of the classic hits, these will familiarise you with all the classic songs which is probably the best starting point, and the third CD will then introduce you to the wonderful world of B-Sides.
2. Dirty Mind - Prince's third album, released in 1980, ABSOLUTE CLASSIC and my personal favorite Prince album. This album paved the way for the entire eighties sound with a mix of funk, rock and new-wave.
3. Purple Rain - The culmination of all Prince's influences thus far into a seamless mix and one that in combination wit the film, gave him unprecedented commercial success, in 1984.
Personally, I prefer "Sign O The Times", which is Prince's double-CD creative masterpiece from 1987, but since this is Prince's biggest selling album, and most Prince fans became Prince fans because of this album, you need to understand what all the fuss is about. I'd suggest buying it in combination with the film.
Get a hold of these and then get back at me.
