Cheers I bought it from the NPGMC and although there are a couple of interesting tracks on there it sounds like a collection of B-sides, none of which are really album-quality material. If you like Prince in R&B mode and like the "Rave"-era sound, and aren't too bothered about the tracks being among his best, I suppose it is ok in places. |

It's a great compilation. Also get "The Slaughterhouse".
It features the plastic production of Rave and Emancipation, but the songs are stronger imo! | |

I agree, great bunch of funky tracks! Get both albums since they fit 2gether. | |

Definitely get it!
"Underneath The Cream" is worth the price of it! Such a dreamy delicious falsetto and it ranks among of my fave songs ever. It should be put on a real CD.... maybe be re-released as a virtual B-side extended version on 3121. Massive promotion and radio play..... I can dream can't I? "Supercute", and "High" are also funky cool. Bring on the Chocolate invasion!

I'd get it. The highlights for me were:
Sex Me Sex Me Not - people like to dog it here but that was one of the last newer songs before 3121 that made me wanna dance. Vavoom - an unreleased gem that kicks ass. Another great song to dance to. The Dance - the original version, and it cool to compare the 2. I like both versions. When I Lay My Hands On U - great weird track Check it out for yourself. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

It's good for an internet-exclusive release. Don't expect anything great though.
There are some typically cheap sounding plastic songs on it, and some surprisingly enjoyable highlights. It's a solid collection of songs. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Must be the shit, I mean to say if the man has to resort to 'plastic songs' your album better kick ass! Oh that's right I just remembered your just a 'fan' he is the genius, remind me, please if you will, what is your authority? |

Cheers Hi... in my very own opinion it's a good purchase... 7 ou of 10 songs R excellent (When Eye lay my hands on U, Judas Smile, U make my sun shine) or really good (Supercute, Underneath..., Sex me) or at least funny (Vavoom). Weakest ones are 4 me High (pretty ugly) the dance which sounds cold in spite of the lyrics and Gamillah which is not his best instrumental... Enjoy ! | |

don't forget these two tracks:
"y should i do that when i can do this?"(u was just conceived on a friday night, i was on stage wasting brothas in a real fight.every time they cut my space down i worked it harder,stripped down to my underwear,spanked them like their father...").   ("this drummer wicked")
and "daisy chain"("tell me now what's on the stereo...funkin' like a junky with cornrows.that's why yo behind so narrow....switchin' on me when you see me flow")...excellent beat WITH A MESSAGE too. 
("..make yo hips vibrate...make yo hips vibrate.")  | |

You don't have to be a musician to recognize musical quality. Why do you take constructive criticism towards an artist so personally? You have issues. You sound like Prince during one of his childish fits. [Edited 3/12/06 8:53am] The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Better songs than Musicology in my opinion, include Slaughterhouse and better compilation than Crystal Ball. | |

Do you honestly believe that you know better than Prince with regard to what his sound should sound like? Question 3. Are U Quincy Jones in disguise? |
