Mix Tang17, could you confirm (if you're still around)? I would assume disc one has 17 tracks, and disc two has the remaining 11 extended tracks. Even though the Rhino links seems official, this list seems much more plausible somehow. Makes much more sequencing sense. | |

well, i'm guessing since we're seeing actual press releases and stories in billboard and whatnot, this is the final track listing. i still wouldn't be surprised if the final product ends up a bit different when it hits the wrecka stows next month. | |

ok so i would buy this as some tracks are remixes and such. | |

i could only imagine lots of sales would make a remaster series of the old albums that much more feasible. | |

but at least we get a few remixes/extended versions (although I know 95% of us have these in some format already) my hope is that the audio will be much improved, which will make it worthwhile | |

i think there's enough on here to keep it from being just another hits re-hash. believe it or not, there are a couple of remixes on the new ultimate thinger that i don't already own...more because i didn't want 'em the first time around, but still... the deciding factor is gonna be the price. if they can keep it at a reasonable price, i think it'll be a hit. if they jack up the price because of the rarities and the packaging or whatnot, i think a lot of fans will be tempted to just download what they didn't already have from iTunes (or less savory resources), and a lot of casual fans might just say 'forget it' altogether. | |

I may be in the minority here, but I have NEVER been a fan of "Money Don't Matter Tonight"
Even back in the day when I was young and misguided and thought D&P was a masterpiece, I still was bored to tears by that song. And here it is popping up on another greatest hits comp....Oh well... ditto for Nothing Compares 2 U WHY? that being said, I will be 1st in line to get this package when it actually hits the shelves... | |

It's going to be a great month in MARCH for PRINCE!!!
"3121", "Ultimate" and "Blessed.." I am glad to see that we will finaly get the 12" versions of the some PRINCE classics. I only wish WB would release all of the 12" versions on a 3-4disc set including 12" B-sides all remastered as well as finally include ALL the singles they love to leave off like "Take Me With You", "Mountains", "Batdance", "Partyman", "Morning Papers", "Space", and "Letitgo" just to name a few. ~Jonathan "Tiki Coladas"

Justin1972UK said: Ugh. I'm going to have to buy this for the extended versions I don't have in CD quality.
What a bizarre compilation. How much more money would WB make if they released every single sequentially on CD? They could be pressed on imitation vinyl discs with faithful packaging, including all the B-Sides and remixes which weren't previously available together. Ive thought about that for a long time... A 12' Box set would RULE. | |

I think it's pretty obvious why "Nothing Compares 2 U" is on another hits comp. It was a hit. Not for Prince of course, but everyone knows the song and Prince just loves to remind people that he wrote it (as evidenced during the Musicology Tour). And technically it was a double A-side single with "Peach" and went to #62 on the U.S. R&B chart so it did get some kind of play on radio back in the day. | |

i don't think MY copy of 'peach' has NC2U on it...of course, it was one of those two-disc import thingies, and i only got the one with 'partyman', 'money don't matter' and 'mountains' as b-sides. | |

Yeah, Europe didn't get it. Since U.S. radio was so segregated back then, the people involved wanted to promote different songs to different formats, so on the U.S. single, the rock song "Peach" was sent to pop stations (#107 in Billboard) and "Nothing Compares 2 U" went to the R&B stations. | |

Mazerati said: i passed on the other greatest hits but not on this one
Y M C A You passed on VBOP or The Hits/The B-sides? Because if you passed on The Hits, you shouldn't be dancing at all, because you missed out. This compilation is tempting. I just don't know if it's tempting enough. [Edited 2/3/06 11:05am] | |

hmmmmm.
im a broken record, but this should be a chance to expose casual fans to some of his hidden gems like Housequake and Girls and Boys.... And I cant forgive the omissions of Erotic City and Adore. | |

So much potential and they screwed it up, IMHO. If it's a decent price, I'll be buying. I'm very proud of myself for not buying TVBOP. | |
