Warner Bros. To Release Prince Music Collection CD.

On August 22 Warner Bros. Records salutes Twin Cities’ funknastiest son, Prince with the release of: "Ultimate Prince," a two-disc compilation featuring his biggest hits and hard-to-find remixes; it captures his 18-year reign at Warner Bros., an ara during which he built a legacy of genre-bending hits that made him music royalty.

Featuring more than two-and-a-half hours of prime Prince, "Ultimate Prince" includes songs recorded between 1978 and 1993. The two-disc set contains the Grammy-winning singles "Kiss" and "Purple Rain," plus #1 pop hits "When Doves Cry" and "Let’s Go Crazy" as well as rare remixes of "Cream," "Little Red Corvette" and "Pop Life."

Also included in this treasure chest of royal rarities, are the single version of "7" from the symbol album; the 12-inch version of "Raspberry Beret" from Around The World In A Day and the classic B-side "She’s Always In My Hair," "Thieves In The Temple" from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack.

could this be why he "disappeared"?

give WB as little promotion as they will have to muster up themselves

"Funknastiest" is officially the greatest adjective ever created.

No giving money to WArners. They are enemy.

Cool. Finally.

WB calls this the "ultimate"
don't make me laugh please !
it is not even comming close

is the tracklisting still the same? sumone told me that the acoustic version of "7" was on there, i was like HUH?

The Ultimate Collection is a GREAT disc. I got a promo copy here in Oz through Warner and it is easily the best Greatest Hits so far purely for the quality of the re-mastering. In particular the 12"s benefit from this and the only disappointmnet is there were not more remastered 12's.

Let's Go Crazy 12" in particular sounds great.

Death to Warner Brothers!!!

Long live Prince!!!

Best Buy has it listed now as well:

I put together MY OWN VERSION of 12''s & B-sides.....TOO LATE!!!!! Like I've said BEFORE, WB dropped the ball with that 3-disc set!!!! The B-Sides & 12"'s COULDA BEEN A DOUBLE DISC ON IT'S OWN!!!!! TOO LATE!!!!!

This isn't even close to "capturing" what he's done...

But, my bitch ass will be there with my money in hand.

she's always in my hair was on the hits volume 3...wasn't it?

One of the good things about buying this is that apart from not wanting the March release date, Prince co-operated with WB on the project and they co-operated with him on the tracks he didn't want on there (Erotic City).

So the fans that care one way or the other can buy it guilt-free, it brings Prince's profile back up in the public eye and we get the chance to hear some re-mastered Prince that just may, just may result in future, more comprehensive re-masters if this one sells well.

Buy many copies and encourage your friends to do the same.

Not the extended version.

Don't forget the DVD of Diamonds and Pearls coming out too.

Presumably a lot of stuff cobbled together from the already released videos? Anything new likely?

Whenever my extended version gets in her hair, my gf gets annoyed.
But that's a topic of discussion that I'll save for the GD forum.

Long time PPML/The Org member Clubkid is involved in this I might get it just to see his name there

SO I GUESS IF U WERE ONE OF THE ONE'S WHO PAID $50 TO $100 FOR THIS SET U ARE PRETTY PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW...

WELL, GREED COMES THRU WHEN U EXPECT IT LEAST, AND WITH PRINCE FANS IT'S ALWAYS WHEN SOMETHING IS DELAYED OR RETRACTED. OTHER GENRES HAVE FANS WHO ARE ALWAYS MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE GETS THEIR HANDS ON A RECALLED OR DELAYED ALBUM, BUT NOT PRINCE FANS,

JUST LIKE PRINCE, THEY ARE ALL OUT TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK.

When it's in my Cheeto stained hands... I'll believe it.

I saw the commercial for this last night on TV One.

They ran TV spots when they were first gonna release it. We'll see...

When I hear stuff like this I just have a picture of the word slave across his face in that "Dolphin" Video
