Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0081227338121 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Rhino / Wea Manufacturer: Rhino / Wea MPN: 73381 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Rhino / Wea Release Date: August 22, 2006 Studio: Rhino / Wea Editorial Review: Album Description: The artist who will forever be known as Prince-and could fittingly be known as "The Artist"-is one of the most brilliant, versatile and influential musical forces of his, or any, time. Prince took R&B and regally marched it into genre-blurring horizons previously unknown, fusing rock, funk, soul, psychedelia, pop, and singer-songwriter aesthetics into a sound that was mind-bending and booty-shaking. Sensual, literate, explosive, and groundbreaking, his artistry never stopped evolving and the hits and acclaim never stopped coming. His adventurous reinventions, bold experimentation, stellar instrumental and composing skills and genius for showmanship have placed him high in the pantheon of all-time superstars. "Unique" doesn't begin to describe his royal powers, showcased herein on the first-ever two-disc compilation of his masterful Warner Bros. years. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Nice collection, but not as good as it could be.I was really dissapointed that all of the songs I love are mediocre extended versions and "Cream" is a really crappy remixed version. I like the original version of all the songs better. They really should have just put the original tracks on this collection. It would have gotten 5 stars from me. I had to deduct 1 star because of the lack of the original "Creme" and unnecessary extended versions of his songs that I don't care for. Rating:  - Great Prince CD w/ 2 major stand out songsOMG, FINALLY. I finally have the ''Raspberry Beret'' song in it's FULL VERSION glory--I love the begining of the song and the sound of all the instruments like in the begining of the music video. Anyways, it's so great to finally hear it on my Surround sound stereo system let me tell ya!. Also, I am 26 years old alright and I have NEVER heard another version of Little Red Corvette.....UNTIL NOW---AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHH!!. Seriously speaking, the version of Little Red Corvette on this CD is by far the ...

And they do exist too, because I had every one on 12" back in the day! Not to mention true Prince fan jams like: "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker", "If I Was Your Girlfreind" and "Strange Relationship" (All 1987), "Anothaloverholenyohead" ...

It fails at all three of those if it is trying to be one. The song selection on the first disc is great though it skips quite a few songs. But I must say that I love the addition of 'Money Don't Matter 2Night' because that is truly a forgotten classic in Prince's cannon. But it does still seem that a lot is missing, then you realize there is a second disc, ... Read More Rating: - Extended Hits!This CD has quite a few of his top hits that have been either stretched out or may be extended takes from the original sessions (that's what it sounds like). I'm very pleased with this purchase as I'm sure any Prnce fan will be. |
