If you could compile the TRUE Prince greatest hits 4 to 5 CD/DVD boxset, would be the perfect tracklising?

You put a lot of thought into the order.

GangstaFam said:

Not so...only a few minutes...

Cheek said:

Finally! A tracklist with a sense of flow, and good perspective on Prince's different eras. Not to mention a decent balance of well loved songs/hits. Nice Job.

squirrelgrease said:

Co-sign. Fleetwood Mac has rereleased three or four of their CDs as double discs that include outtakes and b-sides. I wish Prince would do the same thing.

Alternatively, I'd love to see remastered boxed sets like this:

1999 with What Time Is It and Vanity 6
Purple Rain with Ice Cream Castles and Apollonia 6
Parade with The Family and Jill Jones

And a boxed set with every extended version and b-side would be nice.
