Ive always wondered why Prince has never released a Ballads collection Since(as we know) Prince I think has quite a strong and big collection of ballads/love songs, It always amazed me why he hasnt, For instance over here in the uk his best known ballad after Purple Rain is The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (and it gets played regulary on radio still!) When I got the Ultimate collection, I remember quite a few people asking why that paticular song wasnt on it and as we know the song the albums feautured on TGE is now discontinued, Ofcourse the version on TGE is shit compared to the original radio version on The Beautiful Experience EP, But over here it is a well loved song and i can imagine quite a few people must go looking for it on an album Since they must ask for it 2 played all the time! But wouldnt it be great if we had a collection of his Greatest Ballads? Because i personally believe he dosent get enough credit for his ballads by the non Purple Hippies and a CD like this would be the perfect showcase ...cuz every 1 loves a good love song to make ya heart melt and if it was released on valentines day what a good present it would make
Heres what id like 2 see on that album if there ever was 1.... 1. Adore (must have) 2. Pink Cashmere 3. How Come You Dont Call Me Anymore (must have) 4. Call My Name 5. Nothing Compares 2 u 6. Purple Rain (must have) 7. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (must have) 8. Friend,Lover,Sister,Mother/Wife (however unlikley) 9. Space (Universal Love Remix) 10. The Greatest Romance 11. Diomands and Pearls (must have) 12. Future Baby Mama 13. Insatiable 14. Blue Light (strange choice but I love this track) 15. The Beautiful Ones (must have) Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

yes it does but theres none on that list, apart from God (which isnt a love song) that id but higher than my original list (with Gotta Broken Heart added) well actually...Tangerine, Dreaming About U, Slow Love, Soul Sanctuary and I Love U, But I Dont Trust U Anymore come very close [Edited 10/5/08 14:02pm] Everybody's looking 4 the ladder

The only one that should be on my list, but isn't, is The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.
I wonder what the maximum space is on a disc... 80 minutes? | |

Good one, too. Maybe I need to edit The One on mine and get rid of Anna Stesia, which is a religious lovesong, I suppose. | |

Unfortunately, WB weren't interested in releasing it, so it's sitting on a shelf in the vault (along with all the other unreleased albums). | |

Well spotted. I missed that one. But that was an old list anyways. It is included on the new list I made after this one. And my playlists are never definate; they're always subject to change. Often I play them on shuffle and when I am editing a new one, like this one (cuz I lost the previously posten playlist), I always include several takes of the same song, like live versions or the two versions there are of The Most Beautiful Girl in The World, just to see which fits best. This, again, is a work in progress; [Edited 10/5/08 23:35pm] | |

To Prince, it was a qucik solution to fulfill his contract with WB, he offered them a couple of albums back in the day. But as you know, plans and prepoposed albums come and go. | |
