5.0 out of 5 stars Just grab it!!, 4 Feb 2006
A must have for all Prince fans and an interesting collection of songs for who wants to discover his music.

It's a 2cd-set. The first cd contains lots of Prince classics, from 'I wanna be your lover'to 'When doves cry', from 'Alphabet St' to 'Nothing compares 2 U'.
But it's the 2nd cd that deserves more attention. You'll find here many of the finest 12" versions/remixes of songs like 'Kiss', 'Let's go crazy', 'Pop life', 'Cream'. Many of them were previously unreleased on cd format.

Last but not least, all of the songs have been digitally remastered for the occasion!!

This is the complete tracklist:

CD1
01: I Wanna Be Your Lover
02: Uptown (Single Version)
03: Controversy
04: 1999 (Edit Version)
05: Delirious
06: When Doves Cry (Single Version)
07: I Would Die 4 U (Single Version)
08: Purple Rain
09: Sign O The Times
10: I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
11: Alphabet St.
12: Diamonds And Pearls (Single Version)
13: Gett Off (Single Version)
14: Money Dont Matter 2 Night
15: 7 remastered
16: Nothing Compares 2 U
17: My Name Is Prince (Single Version)

CD2
01: Let's Go Crazy (Special Dance Mix)
02: Little Red Corvette (Dance Remix)
03: Let's Work (Dance Remix)
04: Pop Life (Fresh Dance Mix)
05: She's Always In My Hair (12" Version)
06: Rasberry Beret (12" Version)
07: Kiss (Extended Version)
08: U Got The Look (Long Look)
09: Hot Thing (Extended Remix)
10: Thieves In The Temple (Remix)
11: Cream (N.P.G. Mix)

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate? Is this the last ever Prince?, 24 Aug 2006
I think not... his latest album '3121' would suggest Prince is so back (of course for us die-hards he never really went away). So, the Purple Paisley God rides high once more, in the US at least, and to mark the occasion those insatiable executives at Warners have packaged us up another greatest hits. And great packaging it is, with it's ace inlay fold-out documenting Prince's Warner-years singles-sleeves.

This 'Ultimate' anthology has glaring omissions, but to be fair any Prince collection will. It's peculiar why they chose to include the full version of 'Controversy' (fab as it is) but only the edited singles-cuts of bigger hits such as '1999' and (probably the finest pop moment of the 80s) 'When Doves Cry'.

Still, what's great about this double-CD is: 1. the tunes are remastered for your iPod pleasure, and 2. there are remixes on the second disc. The aforementioned die-hard fans will have all these remixes on original vinyl, naturally, but to have them on CD/MP3, and remastered, makes one dribble like Homer over his dounuts.

'Ultimate' is a great intro for those seeking to understand what all the fuss is about with Prince. And great for those that were there the first time 'round. Maybe the videos remastered next? Go on Warners, milk it... we'll always shell out the pennies for Prince - the greatest musical hero of our times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Bargain for Funky Followers!!, 23 Sep 2006
By Simon Loxham "Guitar Lover" (Bolton England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a Prince fan I had to buy this release and it is one of the most rewarding CDs I have bought this year.Firstly as other reviewers have mentioned the sound is the best quality you will have heard of these tunes,assuming you buy and don't download!!

Value for money wise it is a bargain and I feel if you are a fan of the funky man it is essential that you buy it.
You see Disc Two is a disco and party funk bonanza.I listened once and then again in the car and it revealed versions I didn't have and extended workouts which are awesome.There's rhythms and guitar solos in there to tickle your funky bones into action.

Don't pass this by,every Prince fan should own it and everyone else should appreciate the jiving genius that is PRINCE!
