The extended versions on Disc 2 are worth the money.,
August 23, 2006 K. Eisenberger "dance music freak!" (Defiance, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Prince (Audio CD)
The double cd is finally out and for the Prince dance freaks that this cd is a major buy. There have been so many Prince collections out with Single mixes that for a collection to finally put out what was either on vinyl in the 80's or German cd singles is something good. The first disc should have been longer extended versions of his hits as well. A lot of his great dance cuts are not on here and that is bad-- No "Erotic City", "Housequake", "Anotherloverholeinyohead" and espcially "Batdance" are not here. BUT you get the mega rare "Let's Work" and to say that I finally own this track after being 11 years old and my mother not allowing me to buy it is beyond words. "Let's Work" is very rare and the original 12" is worth between 100-300 bucks .
Disc 1:
1- I Wanna Be Your Lover (Single-2:57)
2- Uptown (4:09)
3- Controversy (LP 7:15)
4- 1999 (Single 3:37)
5- Delerious (2:38)
6- When Doves Cry (Edit...Read more

Where did the 12" of "Erotic City" go?,

I wish Warner Bros. had stuck to the original 29-track listing instead of the revised one that went to the presses. The other reviewers are right. Amazon has the wrong tracklisting (the original), so if you think you are getting "Erotic City (12" Version)" you won't find it here, unfortunately! Apparently, it seems that the label wanted to throw all the 12" versions on the second disc and keep the original shorter versions, including 7" edits, on disc one. Both discs clock in close to 80 minutes each, so there's no room for any more tracks, unless of course a few more 7" edits were used on disc one or a track or two were removed. I'm not sure why we got edits of many of the tracks on disc one coupled with the full-length versions of "Purple Rain" and "Controversy".
Prince simply has too many chart hits to fill two discs. I love the idea of including 12" versions of the many hits. It's the first time I've heard many of these extended cuts. However, we still are...Read more

Another hits collection - but some nice mixes,
August 22, 2006 PSBChris (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Prince (Audio CD)
This seems to be a re-release of the single disc hits collection released a few years ago, and "THE HIT/B-SIDES" several years ago. However, there are some nice remixes included with this offering. Amazon has the tracks listed on this CD incorrectly. The correct tracklisting is:
Disc 1
1. I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER (SINGLE VERSION)
2. UPTOWN (SINGLE VERSION)
3. CONTROVERY
4. 1999 (SINGLE VERSION)
5. DELIRIOUS (SINGLE VERSION)
6. WHEN DOVES CRY (SINGLE VERSION)
7. I WOULD DIE 4 U
8. PURPLE RAIN
9. SIGN "O" THE TIMES (SINGLE VERSION)
10. I COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN (SINGLE VERSION)
11. ALPHABET ST.
12. DIAMONDS AND PEARLS (SINGLE VERSION)
13. GETT OFF
14. MONEY DON'T MATTER 2 NIGHT
15. 7
16. NOTHING COMPARES 2 U
17. MY NAME IS PRINCE (SINGLE VERSION)
Disc 2
