The Undertaker

Warner Music Vision

The Undertaker is a VHS containing the footage of Prince performing six live-to-DAT tracks, albeit credited under the name Camille, with Michael B. (on drums) and Sonny T. (bass), which was recorded at Paisley Park studios on 14 June 1993. This is the video of the cancelled The Undertaker album which was intended for release as a free cover mount CD with 1,000 copies of Guitar World magazine sometime in 1995. It is understood Warner Brothers denied the release of the album, eventually only releasing the filmed VHS version instead.

The Undertaker was one of two VHS releases from Warner Brothers on the same day, with Prince Live! The Sacrifice Of Victor. This was in the attempt to recoup as much as possible in the aftermath of their closure of Prince’s Paisley Park Records and the advance they had given Prince to produce the Love Symbol Album.
