My wife and I stayed here recently for 3 nights for a birthday and Christmas shopping.

Use this album only as a gateway to the better material on others. Though this is all stuff fans own and know note for note and is not quite so the perfect album for that simple reason it is wonderfully nostalgic of an era when Prince reigned supreme. With all these hits in one place though The Very Best Of Prince saves some album hopping and sometimes, even for the most obsessive Prince fan, hearing all the hits in one sitting is a guilty pleasure. Perhaps the album would have been better named Essential Prince since the ‘very best’ of his work is not here, that’s what you get with the industry exec and not the artist picking the track list. Or so they thought! Does The Very Best Of Prince really contain his ‘very best’? Going by unit sales and familiarity, yes. Yet we all know this CD is a half-baked effort to make Warner Brothers rinse as much money as possible out of the Purple Reign legacy that was running out of steam by 2002. It contains all the stuff the casual fan should already have heard, although it is good stuff at that. Let’s face it, this disk actually showcases how remarkable his Warners career was. Warner Brothers appear to believe Prince’s career had ended when his contract with then expired. The omission of Batdance from Batman – albeit a US chart topping hit single which sold 1 million units and certified Platinum – is the result of licensing restrictions with the comic book trademark. For You and Batman are the only two albums of the fourteen produced under Prince’s Warner tenure not represented in the track list. The most represented albums on The Very Best Of Prince compilation are Purple Rain and Diamonds And Pearls, featuring four songs apiece. However in the week following Prince’s death on 21 April 2016, The Very Best Of Prince re-entered the charts and improved to the number 1 spot and was the 8th best-selling album in the US of 2016. Inadvertently because of Prince’s extensive touring, the album was eventually certified Platinum on 21 September 2004. The compilation first entered the charts on 18 August 2001 and peaked in the US Billboard chart at 66, and was certified Gold by RIAA on 12 November 2002. As Prince’s second greatest hits compilation released by Warner Brothers, The Very Best Of Prince therefore focuses on only the songs recorded during his tenure with the label between 1979 to 1993, and are tracked in their chronological order of original release.ĭespite having severed ties with Warner Bros Records on 31 December 1999, the ongoing embittered dispute with his former label saw Prince reschedule his entire One Nite Alone… Tour so that its timing could not be construed to endorse or promote Warner’s release of The Very Best Of Prince.
