The Hits/The B-Sides [Box] - Prince (CD 1993)

I originally had a 2-disc set of Prince's best; sadly (due to my own stupidity) I loaned it out, and it was never returned. That was about 6-years ago, and I've been looking to replace it ever-since. I was soooo-happy to find it on ebay (from bargainbinscd at an extremely-reasonable price), along with an extra B-sides disc. This 3-disc anthology is a must-have for any Prince fan. I even discovered an unheard-gem on the B-sides disc, entitled "Feel U Up", that is a total hook!

Having come-of-age with Prince's music in the '80's, this set was a welcome-find. I've always felt that Prince's music represented the best of dance-music in it's day. His musical-influences include the late, great, James Brown; and there are many of today's artists (both in rap and R&B), that use samples of Prince and JB in their music. Jazz, mixed with R&B, rap, blues, rock, and electronica/dance; not to mention some killer-symphonic ballads (like the over 8-minute "Purple Rain"), make this artist a hall-of-famer. His vocal stylings and range, not-to-mention his electric-guitar-work, elevates this 50-year-old pop-star into icon status.

Call him Prince, or "a symbol, formerly known-as"; his music has spanned close to 30 memorable-years. The only two ommisions from this set that I really wish were at least on the B-side: are "Hot-Thing" and "Anastasia". I guess you can't have everything, but this set comes very close. I'm satisfied with my purchase, as I'm sure anyone who has ever enjoyed his music will be if they buy this set.

17 days, she always in my hair,God and on and on. super great box set, all the great great b-side hits. a must have for me.

my best friend loves prince and this was a perfect birthday gift. thanx for having it and getting it to me so quickly. sry for the delay in this review.
lots going on with graduations and summer plans.

I have been a Prince fan since I was 8. I've been collecting his music since then and was excited when I got this cd. There wasn't anything about this cd that could be disliked. I'm glad that I got it when I did.

IT WAS GREAT PRODUCT MY WIFE LOVED IT IT WAS A GIFT FOR HER GREAT SONGS IT WAS FAST SHIPPING AND GOOD BUYERS EXPERIENCE

fast shipping, good price and exactly what I was looking for. E-bay makes shopping easy, it can be done on my schedule, and I can pay how I want to.

I owned this box set the day it went on sale in 1993. Shortly after I bought it , it was stolen. I'm sure the person that took it(Cecil Bruce from Tacoma Wa)is enjoying every minute of it!!!!!

the price wasgood for this many songs so whats not to like about it i recomend this album to music lovers

What can I say, Prince is Prince, and there is no other comparison to any one else. He is pure genious with his three disc CD.
