Album Description
Available in:
Ultimate Prince is a greatest hits album by American recording artist Prince. It was released on August 22, 2006 by Warner Bros. Records. The two-disc set contains a disc of some previously released hits (some in single edit form; only "My Name Is Prince" has not been on a previous hits collection), and another of extended remixes of hits and a B-side, most of which have only been previously released as vinyl 12-inch singles.
User Album Review
Ultimate is no less than Prince’s third ‘greatest hits’ package from Warner Brothers, like with The Hits / The B-Sides of 1993, they knew how to target the core fan-base, rather than The Very Best Of Prince which catered to the casually interested, hit-and-run crowd-pleasing listener. Ultimate is a two-disk set, one unsurprisingly containing 17 of the main hits up to 1992, the year Warner Bros. seem to think Prince stopped writing good music. So how do Warner get the hard core fans to fork out for music they already have thrice over? Simple. They add a second disk and this is where the set comes into its own, for it puts on to CD for the first time no less than 11 extended versions that only ever previously existed on long deleted and hard to find maxi-singles. The bonus is that every track has been re-mastered. Ultimate offers rarities and favourites with superiorly restored sound and superbly presented in well conceived artwork and slipcase. Warner Brothers can only release one more ‘greatest hits’ package for Prince and their contract then is truly over, so this set, although missing a few gems (Prince demanded the removal of the extended Sexy Dancer) and therefore not really so ‘ultimate’ – that is more of a reference to the artist than the collection herein – this standard of stereo food remains an impossible act to follow.
