Nope. I don't have it and never thought about buying it. I'm already teed at the sorry version

of She's always in my hair they have on the hits/b-sides. I only wanted the FULL version.

Yes I bought it --- don't consider it an "official" part of my collection, since it is a WB issue.

Hey Boris,

what's on your 'best of' album? Just interested to know..

thanks,


Well, it's not too disimilar to the released one (after all it is 1 disc of 'Hits'), but I used a lot
of single edits and created a few edits of my own. The main difference is the packaging, which
is way better than the released one (almost anything would be!). I used the classic 'James
Bond' image of Prince holding the Gun-mic as the front cover (seemed to be appropriate for
an album called "The Hits").

1. 1999 (single edit) (3:36)
2. Little Red Corvette (single edit) (3:06)
3. When Doves Cry (single edit) (3:48)
4. Let's Go Crazy (album version) (4:39)
5. Purple Rain (my own edit) (6:15)
6. Raspberry Beret (3:31)
7. Kiss (single version) (3:46)
8. Sign O' The Times (single edit) (3:42)
9. U Got The Look (3:46)
10. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (my own single edit) (3:59)
11. Alphabet St. (single edit) (2:25)
12. Batdance (batmix radio edit) (4:13)
13. Thieves In The Temple (my own edit: includes 'drum solo') (3:35)
14. Gett Off (my own longer edit, includes 'pool table' verse) (5:20)
15. Cream (4:12)
16. Diamonds And Pearls (single edit) (4:19)
17. Sexy MF (Sexy Mutha remix) (3:55)
18. 7 (my own remix / edit) (4:23)

If I was remaking it now I would probably change a few things, but on the whole I'm very
pleased with it.



That's brilliant Boris,

Many thanks.

I think i might have a little play with this concept smile
