...is to put together the best tracklisting for a Prince compilation, where each track has to occupy the same slot as it did on its original album.

ie, for the first track, you could choose "sign o the times", "controversy", "let's go crazy", etc...

for the seventh track you could choose "pop life" or "sister", etc...

you may treat multi disc sets either as starting again at "1" for each disc (eg, "u got the look" could thus qualify as the first track on your compilation) or as being a continuum... (so that "u got the look" could qualify as track 10).

i think it is best to ignore segue tracks, eg on "the gold experience"...

with this limitation, what on earth are ya gonna do? i'm a curious child (track 5/track 17 there, of course)... remember, the thing has to work as a whole...

come on! (track eight) don't be shy! (track 9, though it wouldn't make my final cut...)
