First off, the first time I saw this was on public access in Honolulu, which was of course a year or so before I heard of MTV. I saw this, knew what Prince was like in "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad", and thought "whoa, what's up with him?"

2) This was also the first time I had heard of the word "Uptown". There is no Uptown in Honolulu, but I spent a lot of time downtown as a kid, so I remember looking in an encyclopedia wondering "what is an Uptown?"

3) I swore I saw this, but considering how many live videos looked like this back then, maybe my memory is failing me but: I thought I saw a woman in this video dancing with a "Hawaii 78", 79, or 80 T-shirt. Back then, that was the trend in Hawai'i, and while they were indeed football shirts, the numbers were meant to represent a year. I used to have a Hawaii 77, because 76 sounded too "American" to me (as in the bicentennial)

Anyway:

Side 1
Uptown
Gotta Broken Heart Again
When You Were Mine

Side 2
Head
Sister
Dirty Mind


My thought with this was for Side 1: nice. Side 2: dirty, at least with the titles.
