Prince's The Hits/The B-Sides packs fifteen years of brilliance into one generous set, a 1993 collection presented here as a 3CD edition that still ranks among the great career overviews of its era.
The first two discs collect the singles that turned a Minneapolis prodigy into a global force, running from the late 1970s into the early 1990s. The third disc is the real treasure for devoted fans: a stack of B-sides that for years existed only on the flip of seven-inch singles and twelve-inch releases, many of them as strong as anything that made the albums.
The hits need little introduction. When Doves Cry still sounds radical, a funk song with no bassline that somehow hits harder for the absence. Alongside the classics sit songs that were new at the time, including Peach, a raw, rocking guitar workout, and a live reading of Nothing Compares 2 U with Rosie Gaines sharing the vocal.
Over on the B-sides disc, Erotic City shows exactly why Prince's leftovers became legendary, all hypnotic drum machine and sly, sticky groove.
Released just as Prince was battling his label over control of his music, this set sums up the Warner Bros. years in full. It is a complete education in pop, funk, rock and soul from one restless mind.
