OK admit it! Who hear bought The Very Best Of Prince?

It's OK if you don't own much Prince stuff, but who here out of all the "fans" actually bought it just for the sake of having it in your collection? I did, but only cause it was part of a "3 for US$15" deal, so I bought two Stevie Wonder albums, and there was nothing else worth getting so I got TVBOP (sorry Prince!)

Why would you buy it? Every Prince fan has all the stuff anyway. For non-fans, it doesn't have an ideal tracklisting.

I didn't buy it. There simply isn't a need to since all
the songs are already on the original albums. If you'd
want to hear what they sound like on this compilation
you could just burn yourself a cdr in 5 minutes, but I
haven't even done that. Not interested.

The artwork is criminally bad. Even worse than The Vault.
Especially the inside booklet is a monstrocity
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Yes. Although I should take them to court for false advertising. Look closely at the track list I will see that instead of Rebirth of the flesh, In a large room with no light, Moonbeam levels, The beautiful one, Condition of the hart, Gold, Bambi, Dance with the devil and a whole host of other great tracks you actually get a hand full of short edited tracks from the 1993 hits box set + Money don’t matter tonight.

You do get some nice pictures though. I only bought it because there was a slim gap in my shelf.

Nope! Like everyone said why buy it when you already have all the songs?

Has anyone bought that tribute cd with Ice-T singing "Head"?

I didn't buy it, but someone who knew I was a Prince fan gave it to me for free, and I gave it to someone else, who didn't know all of the 'hits', since I had all the songs there already...

My Mom owns a copy. But if you wanna capture the trueset essence of Prince, you gotta get The Hits/B-sides.
