Prince – The Hits / The B-Sides

Prince – The Hits / The B-Sides

Released in 1993, The Hits / The B-Sides is one of the most comprehensive collections of Prince's extraordinary career, bringing together his biggest chart successes alongside a treasure trove of sought-after B-sides and fan favourites. Spanning the late 1970s through the early 1990s, the collection showcases the remarkable breadth of Prince's songwriting, musicianship, and genre-defying creativity.

The first two discs compile an incredible run of classic singles, including “When Doves Cry,” “1999,” “Little Red Corvette,” “Kiss,” “Purple Rain,” “Sign 'O' The Times,” “Cream,” and “Diamonds And Pearls.” Together they chart the evolution of one of popular music's most innovative and influential artists.

The third disc is dedicated entirely to B-sides, offering a deeper look into Prince's vast catalogue with cult favourites such as “Erotic City,” “17 Days,” “She's Always In My Hair,” and “How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore.” Far more than bonus material, these recordings demonstrate the depth of creativity that existed beyond the hit singles.

An essential collection for both longtime fans and newcomers, The Hits / The B-Sides stands as a definitive celebration of Prince at his most inventive, charismatic, and influential.
