This set is a Prince-work exhibition of 1993 is still valid, because after 1993 he only had a single hit with The Most Beautiful Girl In The World. After The Hits / The B-Sides also a Very Best Of CD and Ultimate Prince appeared. But both can not get into this issue of material. Ultimate is interesting only because of the second CD with the maxi-singles and the new remastering. However, this is a three-CD, wherein the third CD only concerned with B-sides. This makes this set also for collectors interesting, already has all the regular albums of Prince. As an incentive should serve half a dozen songs in 1993 yet, which were unpublished until then. Including a live version of the written by Prince for the band The Family song Nothing Compares 2 U, but only what was Sinead O'Connor hit. The live version of Prince oriented musically more like the version of The Family. Sinead O'Connor's version remains for me but definitive. The other unreleased songs were 4 The Tears In Your Eyes, the ballad Power Fantastic, Pink Cashmere, Pope and Peach. Peach I like it best. A good rocker. The other songs are more dispensable. The song selection with respect to the sellers has succeeded for the most part. I do not need here to enter into individual songs. Prince was in the 80s and early 90s, a class of their own and tried a wide variety of musical styles from. In addition, almost every year a new album was released. The following songs I miss but painful: Mountains, Girls & Boys, Money Do not Matter 2night and especially Paisley Park While this was not his biggest hit singles, but there are some of his best songs. The absence of his no. 1 hits Batdance I can understand very well, however. The song, with its movie quote-word fragments is annoying and also gives a maximum on the Batman soundtrack sense. Here is also nice that the early work of Prince is very well appreciated. At that time, Prince wrote eg with Soft And Wet and Head still good clearly ambiguous songs. The songs represented on discs 1 and 2 are most unfortunately all only the abridged versions Single, Purple Rain is here but to hear in its full version. Among the B-sides, there are also some good songs, for example, 17 Days or Erotic City are not inferior to the A-side. The B-sides are also only available here on CD for the most part. The mastering has the status of 1993. Thus, since one can not expect much. However, the songs sound better than almost all of the CD-first publications. Overall, you get with this set for 3.5 hours mostly good music at a good price (current status in December 2013 almost 18 euros). The set also includes the most important and most commercially successful musical creative phase of Prince. After the dispute came with the record company, several name changes. What he then published to music, is judged by what he wanted to achieve with his newfound artistic freedom, a joke. It appeared some plates after 1993. Really was absolutely nothing about it. The star deduction is available for the mastering and the absence of several songs (see above).
