THE HITS/THE B-SIDES 3

Out of print in the U. S.! When an exceptional package like this hits the market (No pun intended) the world should join together and breathe a loud (and sensual) thank you to everyone involved. The 56 tracks on this triple disc set are essential to any music lover s collection. Spanning the first decade-and-a-half of his career every track is a classic or near-classic. The first two discs are the Hits 1 and Hits 2 compilations that were also available separately.

F. this is a must-have. If you ve never been moved or excited by at least one Prince song than you are either: A) Dead; B) Not Alive; or C) Both of the above Warner. Amazon. Com Assignment: To write 100 words on 56 songs by the greatest artist the 80s produced. Even with single edits substituting for full-length versions in a handful of cases The Hits/The B-Sides is a mighty testament to the man we once called Prince. (For that matter we still do.) In addition to most of his singles from I Wanna Be Your Lover to Thieves in the Temple from When Doves Cry to 7 this triple-CD set throws in some worthwhile new music and a full disc of the fantastic flips that made buying 7 and 12-inches a must even when you already owned the A-side. You can be the side effect he mutters herein. I d rather be the dope. Witness some of the funkiest pharmaceuticals around Rickey Wright.
