It's good for what it is... a collection of trax that otherwise wouldnt see a release...

I think there should have been more songs, tho...

and Clinton's and Mavis' trax were already on their albums.

Nice compilation, but not very captivating.

Mainly interesting for the original "LoveSign" which is
still a killer jam.

And I like Madhouse 17.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I think it's boring. A coupla okay tracks, and at the time it came out, the easiest way to own a copy of Love Sign (which shoulda been more of a hit than it was).

I like it very much, especially for "Love Sign", "17", "Standing at the altar", "If I Love U 2night" and "Color".

I like it. It's not a vital entry to your collection, but it has some cool songs on it. I love MPLS, Hollywood 7" edit and Love sign.

MPLS is phat

Hollywood is a cool song, but the full version is better.

Yes,"Standing At the Altar" by Margie Cox is the best reason to buy this CD.That's such a cool song,isn't it?

Anything with Love Sign on it has to be worth it - and of course any Madhouse cut is gold!

Funny, I just grabbed it and threw it in the
car CD player without seeing your thread first.

Most of the CD is very un-inspired. I do love
some songs...17, Love Sign, If I Love U 2Nite,
Standing At The Altar, and You Will Be Moved.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I freakin' love "You Will be Moved". That's an awesome song. "Color" is pretty good too. The rest of that CD ranges from pretty good to slightly below average, but there's nothing outright horrible on the album.
