THE HITS 2 includes a booklet with photography by Herb Ritts, plus extensive liner notes by Alan Leeds, and track annotations about previously unreleased material.
Upon their release in 1993, the shorthand descriptors were that THE HITS ONE contained the "clean" songs while THE HITS TWO had all the "dirty" stuff. It's not quite so simple. Such songs as "Controversy" delve into politics; "Purple Rain" and "I Would Die 4 U" explore Prince's deeply felt religious iconography. And, with only rare exceptions, Prince's songs tend to be more teasing and erotic than blatant. Even the most outrageous tunes, like "Head," have a sly wit that marks them as much more than Penthouse Forum titillation material. Bottom line: these 18 tracks are the very pinnacle of '80s and early '90s pop-funk. THE HITS TWO contains two previously unreleased tracks, the funky "Peach" and the calculated-to-shock "Pope." This disc and its companion volume are also available as a box set with an essential bonus third disc of b-sides.

Editorial Reviews
5 Stars - Indispensible - ...it's not just the high and mighty width of [Prince's] collection that startles: the sustained quality here is remarkable...

    I bought the CD because I like most of the songs on it and you can get them on one cd. This makes it easier to transport! It came in good condition and was at a reasonable price.

      Prince has 4 greatest hits CDs but this one is the best
    Review created: 09/06/07

    This CD is pretty much a classic by now but I it is still an awesome CD! Except for one or two songs this whole CD is filled with the best songs that you could listen to over and over again. True, you could download these songs of the internet for free but it would take you a while to get all the songs in a high quality copy so why not buy this CD for a couple bucks instead?

    All the songs on this album are awesome! They are some of the best dance songs from the 1980's and early 1990's. Prince built his career with these hits!

    I bought this cd as I had bought the first one and there were alot of songs I believe could have been compiled into just one cd. Again this one had songs I didnt remember being hits as was with the first one. I should have passed on this one too.
