OK. . .latest Greatest Hits Compilation. I was trying to create something like the 1993 The Hits/The B-sides collection. What do you think? Anybody have any good compilations they want to share? I want to expand the collection to include a disc of other artists doing Prince music. I was also thinking of a disc of instrumental tracks. And finally a rarities disc. . .

Disc 1: 1978-1985
1. When Doves Cry [5.52]
2. Pop Life [3.42]
3. DMSR [5.39]
4. I Feel 4 U [3.25]
5. When U Were Mine [3.43]
6. Take Me With U [3.54]
7. Head [4.42]
8. Controversy [3.35]
9. Little Red Corvette [4.56]
10. Let's Go Crazy [4.39]
11. I Wanna Be Your Lover [2.58]
12. Do Me, Baby [3.56]
13. Raspberry Beret [3.32]
14. I Would Die 4 U [2.57]
15. Delirious [2.38]
16. Paisley Park [4.39]
17. 1999 [5.43]
18. Purple Rain [8.40]

DMSR is edited both at the beginning and fades out early. Controversy works very well right at the end of the keyboard noise at the end of Head. 1999 cuts out the beginning and ends before "Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?"

Disc 2: 1986-1993
1. Kiss [3.46]
2. I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man [3.39]
3. Pink Cashmere [6.14]
4. Girls & Boys [3.27]
5. Money Don't Matter 2 Night [4.12]
6. Alphabet St. [5.39]
7. Nothing Compares 2 U [4.57]
8. Adore [4.41]
9. U Got the Look [3.47]
10. Batdance [6.13]
11. Thieves In the Temple [3.20]
12. Diamonds & Pearls [4.19]
13. Sign 'O' The Times [3.43]
14. Mountains [3.58]
15. Cream [4.12]
16. Peach [3.48]
17. Gett Off [4.30]
18. 7 [5.09]

Disc 3: 1994-2004
1. Days of Wild [4.24]
2. A Million Days [3.48]
3. The Most Beautiful Girl in the World [4.36]
4. The Work, Pt. 1 [3.45]
5. A Case of U [3.29]
6. Letitgo [4.14]
7. Come On [4.35]
8. I Hate U [4.23]
9. Pussy Control [4.06]
10. Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance [4.46]
11. Love Sign [4.26]
12. Supercute [4.13]
13. Musicology [3.51]
14. The Greatest Romance Ever Sold [4.30]
15. The Holy River [4.00]
16. Gold [4.43]
17. Everlasting Now [6.28]
18. Goodbye [4.34]

Days of Wild is the studio version [edited]. Pussy Control is the VH1 version. Everlasting Now is the One Nite Alone. . .Live version.

Who is this compilation aimed at, or is it for a specific purpose?

Where did you get Supercute from? Is it good? I will share my 7 disk compilations in a few

I would say the purpose would be to try to create a better hits compilation than the Warners set. . .Also, trying to bring it up-to-date.

Supercute was one of the singles that was sold on tour from 2001. You can now download it on the NPG Music Club. . .

Thanks for the info....

Here is my "Minneapolis Sounds" compilation that I made.

1. Jill Jones - MIA BOCCA
2. Apollonia 6 - SEX SHOOTER
3. The Family - HIGH FASHION
4. The Family - MUTINY
5. Sheila E. - LOVE BIZARRE
6. Wendy & Lisa - WATERFALL
7. P & Lenny - AMERICAN WOMAN
8. P & Lenny - FLY AWAY
9. The Time - THE BIRD
10. Dez Dickerson - MODERNAIRE
11. Vanity 6 - NASTY GIRL
12. Andre Cymone - DANCE ELECTRIC
13. Jesse Johnson - I WANT MY GIRL
14. Alexander O'Neal - FAKE
15. Martika - LOVE THY WILL BE DONE

The song selection is one of the best I've seen. However, I would have sequenced the CD's differently. In other words, I like the songs on each CD just not the order they are in.PS. THere are some B-sides that need to be on these disks. Namely Erotic City, 17 days, and she's always in my hair.
