 Nice collection, but not as good as it could be.

| I was really dissapointed that all of the songs I love are mediocre extended versions and "Cream" is a really crappy remixed version. I like the original version of all the songs better. They really should have just put the original tracks on this collection. It would have gotten 5 stars from me. I had to deduct 1 star because of the lack of the original "Creme" and unnecessary extended versions of his songs that I don't care for. |

Great Prince CD w/ 2 major stand out songs
Submitted on: 2008-09-07 |

| OMG, FINALLY. I finally have the 'Raspberry Beret' song in it's FULL VERSION glory--I love the begining of the song and the sound of all the instruments like in the begining of the music video. Anyways, it's so great to finally hear it on my Surround sound stereo system let me tell ya!. Also, I am 26 years old alright and I have NEVER heard another version of Little Red Corvette.....UNTIL NOW---AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHH!!. Seriously speaking, the version of Little Red Corvette on this CD is by far the BEST and I can't control myself from playing it over and over on repeat, and there people I know who are JEALOUS of the fact that I have this version and who could blame um right?!. Look, this intire CD is Red Hot and I love Prince but even more all over again, and again, and again ;) |

 Where's The Extended Versions Of "Erotic City","Head","Sexy Dancer," and "Party Up"??
Submitted on: 2008-04-27 |

QUESTION:
How are you going to make the claim of creating "THE ULTIMATE"
Prince collection and not include the extended dance mixes of
"Erotic City" (1984), "Head" (1980), "Sexy Dancer" (1979) or
"Party Up" (1980)???
And they do exist too, because I had every one on 12" back in the day!
Not to mention true Prince fan jams like: "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker",
"If I Was Your Girlfreind" and "Strange Relationship" (All 1987),
"Anothaloverholenyohead" (Extended Version--1986), "Ana-stesia" (1988)
"Lady Cab Driver", "A-U-T-O-matic" and "Irresistible Bitch" (all 1982)
"Party Man" & "Bat-Dance" (both 1989) or even his first hit....
the sizzling "Soft & Wet" (1978).
ULTIMATE PRINCE??--I think not!
When you let 20-ish music executives and studio interns who
weren't even around when most of this music was relevant and
current make the decisions about what exactly is an
"ULTIMATE PRINCE" collective, then what do you expect?
This is a cursory comp with a few good rare ditties that
they haven't included on any of the other mediocore comps!
The 3-Disc "Prince: Greatest Hits & B-Sides", released in
the early '90's was pretty comprehensive, but still lacking
in many ways as well.
I give this comp 3 stars and say that if you're a
youngster just getting into Prince and what impact
his music made on the 80's and early 90's,
then, by all means, this is one to buy!

Ultimate Prince...?

Prince-Ultimate Prince ***
Now I am really confused at what this is supposed to be. Is this at hits collection, anthology, best of? It fails at all three of those if it is trying to be one.
The song selection on the first disc is great though it skips quite a few songs. But I must say that I love the addition of 'Money Don't Matter 2Night' because that is truly a forgotten classic in Prince's cannon. But it does still seem that a lot is missing, then you realize there is a second disc, great that must be where the rest of the music is. Wrong.
The second disc is a collection of most of the rest of Prince's other big songs but they are "dance remixes" of all the songs, which is cool yes, but they are very out of place on this collection. Someone who is buying this is going to want the original songs, not the remixes of the songs they love. Those remixes should have been saved for reissues of the original albums that they appear on or for a separate remixes album.
But I must say the remixes are not even that good, in fact some of the time they are just down right annoying. Really this collection or whatever it is, is not worth owning unless you are a major Prince fan and want everything he releases. |
