What drew me to this product was that it contained a fairly good representation of what used to be 12-inch vinyl singles of the late Mr. Nelson's work. "Let's Go Crazy", for example, is the full version contained in the "Purple Rain" film, and to me is the only version that should be played. "Pop Life", treated as a throw-away on "Around The World In A Day", is given the full treatment here. The only let-down to me was the version chosen of "She's Always In My Hair", which was originally a B-side of the "Raspberry Beret" single. It's an alternate take that (to my ears) is inferior to the version released in the '80s. I own most of the albums, so I skipped over Disc One and stampeded to Disc 2, which alone was worth the price of admission (plus shipping).

Warning! This collection has mostly shorter (non album) versions of the classics, but it is by far a great microcosm of The Artist when he was known as Prince, as well as The Symbol , as leader of the Revolution and the NPG! Here’s a chance to get to know him!

The double CD I received was outstanding. Quality excellent and sealed. If you are a PRINCE lover, as I am, you will not be disappointed with all these great hits of his. Remembering all the best concerts and re-living them thru this double CD, has been a joy! Smilin' all the way down the road!

Love Prince like me? Then you'll want to buy the Ultimate Prince CD / album as it does a great job of capturing Prince's funk and eclectic career. My problem with his 'greatest hits' albums is that they don't do a good job of capturing Prince's newer / later career and instead rely on the early classics like Little Red Corvette and When Doves Cry. Great songs obviously - but so are Rasberry Baret and some of the newer tracks and albums. The Ultimate Prince does a nice job compiling it all: 1. Purple Medley 2. I Wanna Be Your Lover 3. Uptown 4. Controversy 5. 1999 6. Little Red Corvette 7. Let's Go Crazy 8. Erotic City 9. Purple Rain 10. When Doves Cry 11. I Would Die 4 U 12. Pop Life 13. She's Always In My Hair 14. Raspberry Beret 1. Kiss 2. Sign 'O' The Times 3. U Got The Look 4. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man 5. Hot Thing 6. Alphabet St. 7. Thieves In The Temple 8. Diamonds And Pearls 9. Gett Off 10. Money Don't Matter 2 Night 11. Cream 12. 7 13. Sexy Mutha 14. Nothing Compares 2 U 15. My Name Is PrinceRead full review
This CD set of two discs has the majority of the best of Prince. The quality is very good and you can hear each individual instrument. If you don't currently own a Prince CD, this would be a great choice for you.
