Considerably more streamlined than previous compilations THE HITS 1 and THE HITS 2, the 17 songs that make up THE VERY BEST OF PRINCE offer a nice tour through the Purple One's chart successes for Warner Brothers from 1978 to 1993. Mixed in among chart toppers like the quirky "When Doves Cry," Hendrix-fueled mania of "Let's Go Crazy" and stripped-down funk of "Kiss" are enough brilliant moments to make you wish the guy had focused more on music and less on the identity shifts that characterized most of the '90s.

Starting with the 1979 #1 "I Wanna Be Your Lover," Prince's pop sensibilities and inquisitive nature have found him cleverly bouncing back and forth between the twin poles of sex and spirituality. Whether it's the runaway pledge of faith found in "I Would Die 4 U," sly lasciviousness of "Gett Off" or battle-of-the-sexes throw-down with Sheena Easton on "U Got The Look," this Minneapolis native's way with a hook makes more of an impression in retrospect than his ability to shock. Other highlights include the millennial jam "1999," chilling view of the world "Sign O' The Times," gorgeous "Diamonds And Pearls" and irresistible "Alphabet Street."


Very Best Of Prince CD Review


Q (9/01, p.133) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...He really was the exciting new face of popular music....The hits that transformed Prince into a superstar to rival Michael Jackson remain some of the most thrilling in pop history..."

4 stars "The Best Of The Artist Formely Known As..."
"The Very Best Of Prince" is one of the best single disc compilations available. Before submitting this review, I've read several other opinions of this collection and to be fair, you really can't compile all of the 'best' of any artist's work on a single disc. It's just not possible! This anthology has all of Prince's 'major' hits from "I Wanna Be Your Lover" to "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" and as many that could be fitted, in between. "Purple Rain", "1999", "When Doves Cry", "Little Red Corvette", "Get Off" and my personal favorite "Diamonds & Pearls" are all hear. Of course Prince recorded several 'gems' that are not included ("Controversy", "Dirty Mind", "Pop Life", "Erotic City", "Adore" etc) but the material that was chosen, certainly qualifies.

5 stars Prince--Still Rock 'N Roll Royalty
This cd is a definite "must have" for Prince fans. This contains all the hits we've come to love over the years--and for anyone who's seen the live show, it covers pretty much all of what he performs live! Still great music from this truly great talent!!
