As a compendium of 17 key A-sides from 1979 to 1992, however, The Very Best of Prince is (ahem) a quick-'n'-dirty review of the early anthem "Controversy," no "Erotic City"--no non-LP cuts at all, save some edited single versions--and a cold shoulder to the cryptically spiritual ("Purple Rain").

This album was the first I had ever listened to from Prince and since then, I have likely become the biggest teenaged Prince fan since everybody stopped wearing Flock of Seagulls-type haircuts.
Prince is one of the best of our time but the choices for his greatest hits can't be put in just one disc.

As a compendium of 17 key A-sides from 1979 to 1992, however, The Very Best of Prince is (ahem) a quick-'n'-dirty review of the days when the Artist was, in the estimation of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, one of the weirdest musicians in the Top 10.
Blessed with both creative cunning and the wish to reach every listener possible, Prince revitalized rock and soul modes from the sex-crazed ("Little Red Corvette") to the cryptically spiritual ("Purple Rain").
Often he blurred lines between attitudes as surely as he did musical ones; the New Testament image of "Thieves in the Temple" became in his hands a complaint about a stolen girlfriend.

Prince’s last great, forward thinking, and groundbreaking record was in 1988, and Prince posed nude for the cover.
Prince used to be a mysterious master in the studio- an eccentric purple sprite in heels who could out-write and out-play all of his pop contemporaries, Prince had that rare coup of critical acclaim and worldwide pop superstardom.
While Musicology was a valiant effort to re-establish Prince as the master of his pop, soul, and funk domains, it merely made critics and fans yearn for the real draw of that tour: the hits.

Minneapolis, MN Prince is, without a doubt one of the most influential figures in modern rock history.
As a songwriter, Prince has certainly earned his tenure, penning countless hits--trashy, eloquent, fragile and blustering--for himself and many other musicians.
Prince's first two albums, For You (1978) and Dirty Mind (1979), though impressive efforts for an unknown Midwestern teenager, failed to foreshadow his impending brilliance.

 Prince: The Very Best Of Prince Review
One of popular music's most enigmatic icons fulfills his contractual obligations with Warner Brothers; the masters to his 'slave, philosophy is once more exercised with this best of compilation which serves two purposes.
He embarked on this mission to reclaim the rights to his music, whilst recording new material and retailing through alternative outputs, collaborating with artists like Chaka Khan and Larry Graham (formerly of Sly and the Family Stone), working as a band and attempting to retrieve the rights for both Khan and Graham to their music.
It would be impossible to get a complete overview of Prince's best work, technically ignoring his emancipated 'Artist' period, but this provides sufficient tonic to those of us missing the early flashes of brilliance of Prince.

 The Very Best of Prince Music at Shop Ireland
I bought this cd after hearing the single "Purple Rain", and though it was not an outstanding song I was intrigued as in a day and age were music is repetitive and unoriginal "Purple Rain" was a breath of fresh air.
This compilation is an one that is very obvious, as with the recent awful Smiths complilation on Warners (1993's 'Singles', with an awful cover & a few extra tracks)it is the lowest common denominator.
A genius of popular music who has become a legend in his own lifetime........Let the music play on......As Prince once sang " U don't have 2 B kool 2 rule my world".......If u consider urself kool,then buy this album, then U will Be.

PRINCE was SIMULTANEOUSLY playing keyboards and guitar in the middle of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish." My mouth fell open and my drink nearly fell out of my hand into Cedric the Entertainer's lap.
Prince in his beautiful gold mandarin collared outfit was having such a blast, I elbowed Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz out of the way for a closer look.
This is of course an understatement, as Prince is the finest electric guitar player I've ever seen and can make music out of anything that can be struck, plucked or blown into, and the other two have little discernable musical talent.

 RTÉ.ie Entertainment: Prince - The Very Best of Prince
'The Very Best of Prince' is a strange title for an album that takes almost half its material from just two records: 1994's 'Purple Rain' and 'Diamonds and Pearls' from 1991.
In short, if you're looking for the best of Prince you'll find it on the albums 'Hits 1' and 'Hits 2' which give a far more comprehensive (36 tracks as opposed to 17) introduction to his purple high and mightyness.
Cork band Hooray for Humans take their inspiration from that quirky indie sound that US outfits do so well - and at their best are every bit as endearing as the big names.

 Tower Records - The Very Best Of Prince - Prince   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Personnel: Prince (vocals, various instruments); Wendy, Dez Dickerson (vocals, guitar); Bonnie Boyer (vocals, Hammond organ); Rosie Gaines (vocals, organ); Lisa Coleman (vocals, keyboards); Sheila E. (vocals, drums, percussion); Sheena Easton, Camille, Tony M. (vocals); Levi Seacer Jr.
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.
