Prince – The Hits 1 (CD)
Product Details
Prince built his catalog the old-fashioned way, one live show and one obsessively crafted studio session at a time, earning a reputation as among the most gifted musicians of his generation before mainstream pop fully caught up to what he was doing. The inclusion of his own "Nothing Compares 2 U" here is a rare chance to hear the song's origin story from the source, a reminder that the Purple Rain era was just one chapter in a much longer, stranger, and more rewarding story.
Prince’s first compilation ever, The Hits 1, was released as a stand-alone album and as part of a three-disc box set, The Hits/The B-Sides on September 10, 1993. The Hits 1 contains 16 of Prince’s best-known singles released between 1978 and 1993, along with two previously unreleased tracks: “Pink Cashmere” and Prince’s own rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which he had originally written for his protégé act The Family and had recently become a global hit as performed by Sinead O’Connor.
