This CD features an incredible 11 minute track that mixes together many, many Prince hit songs to form a perfect jam session that's great for parties or working out. If 11 minutes is a bit too long for you, well then there is an edited version as well. The final track takes the same approach but uses his lesser hits and B sides. Fantastic! Makes a great companion to the 3 disc collection 'The Hits/The B Sides'!

Prince runs through hits and non-hits in an 11 minute jam. Interesting in its way, but not essential.

A myriad of rythmic beats confined to only a mere 11 minutes. Although not expertly mixed it does give you an insight into the truly prodigous talent that Prince possesses, seemingly at will. For long term fans you can have a go at deciding which order you would rather have the songs in...and forever debate, probably at a purple table!

For new fans...just sit back & enjoy, as this remix covers one of Prince's most productive era's. They played this remix at his Live Tours at Wembley, London and the crowd went insane...and also quiet...in line with the mood of the tracks that this remix includes.

A very quick way to listen to a cross section of his music. A shorter track 2 cuts out some of the longer guitar riffs that he likes to do, but will be to the liking of less "die hard" Prince fans. A bargain that should entice you to buy more of his music as he is as diverse and unique a musical talent of his generation, playing ALL the instruments, producing the beats & singing.

What are you waiting 4?

As a Prince freak let me start off by saying that i love pretty much everything he's ever put out...genius! this is for the casual fans out there...i don't want to see anyone get "juked". THIS IS NOT A CD OF REMIXES OF THE ORIGINAL SONGS/BEATS. it's more like a dance remix you would hear at one of those annoying "glow stick clubs"...i love Princes' music but this one is going to have to grow on me...I AM A HUGE FAN...IF YOU ARE NOT A HUGE FAN...U WANT 2 PASS ON THIS ONE...!...ONLY FOR U IF YOU'RE A COLLECTOR....

Prince listeners seem to require instant gratification whenever we hear Prince songs mixed or edited. This mix doesn't give you that, it demands more than one listen, and after listening to the disc all the way through 10 or 11 times, it became clear to me this is relatively amazing. Worth every penny.

This mix truly shows the capabilities of Prince's musical Genius. He really catches the mood of each song and knows how to make them flow, and also he adds a little extra flavor that wasn't there before to each song. Even though the track is 11 minutes long, you wouldn't notice it because each track catches your attention every few seconds.

Many people complain "It's just a bunch of old songs to new music" Or "Don't expect anything new with this single", but what most fail to realize is this is the era where "The Artist" buried "Prince". It's like a funeral(tribute) for all the Warner song that he did. It's a true gift to have because this was during the battle between him and the record company. Just watch the video and you'll see him burying Prince in the ground at the end, then it will make perfect sense. By the way the beat is awesome.

He is amazing, being a Prince fan, this is one you have to have!
He never stops amazing me with the amount of music he can produce and the amount you will know. There is a ton included in this mix, it's a lot of fun.

When this very first came out I was under the impression that he was releasing an entire full length album compiled of ALL of his hits totally and completly remixed to todays (or then) standards. I had searched and asked every record store in search of this only to find out that it was only a maxi single of a medley. Man!! Was I bummed out!!! Even though there is many many CDs out there that have many various mixes on them, mainly bootlegs, It would have been a major surprise. The mega mix medley is cool in every way and I wished it was also a bit longer than 11 mins. The video for it is even better! This is a must have though for your Prince collection.

NOT A GOOD MIX TO JAM WITH
