Do you own "The Very Best of Prince?"

It's still #1 on the catalog charts but I don't think too many real fans have it.

This is the only official normal Prince release that I don't own and don't want.

Just curious among this crowd, who owns it?

I don't have it. I don't have any reason to get it. There's nothing on there that I don't have on at least two other CDs anyway.

A friend bought it me for my birthday, the year it came out. I'm not sure why they bought it me, but they did.

I got it for the sake of having a single disc compilation of hits to keep in my car.

Why does everyone hate this? Is it that bad? I have seen the traklisting etc and it seems to cover some major hits...I know a few songs aren't the full versions like LRC but just for a commercial greatest hits for the car or some party, it sems like it would be ok.

Course I've got it! (...just cuz I'm a completist).
It's not that bad though, it's just that the artwork sucks.
I mean, music-wise it's a 'greatest hits' album...
what do you expect?

I never play it though, I made my own 1CD best of a few years before
that's WAY better, so I play that instead. wink

I have it. Someone give it to me as a birthday gift. There's nothing from Controversy omgI want that 3 cd Hits w/ the b-sides thing.
If it doesn't fit, it's ugly anyway.

This is NOT endorsed by Prince or the NPG, its Warners tryin to make even more money off this guy. I bet hes made them over a billion dollars.

Request:

Can anybody show the artwork?????

I'm not gonna buy it, I have the Hits-B-sides Thing.

I think P is still gonna receive his part for the sales royalties

Peace

I don't own it...but I have a question.

R these songs remastered? R they better sound quality?
I don't even know the lineup of songs, but if anything
from SOTT (probably the WORST sound quality of P's albums)
is on there, it might be worth a listen.

Naw, I won't buy it anyways...
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.

Nope i dont own it..its a Warner Release isnt it, it actually has nothing to do with Prince, he didnt agree to its release thats why it has only music he did with them on it.

So i wont buy it neutral
