Amazon.co.uk Review
Taken literally, the Very Best of Prince title is sure to cause endless arguments. Nothing from Dirty Mind, not a trace of the early Controversy, no "Erotic City", no non-LP cuts at all, save some edited single-versions and a cold shoulder to the criminally out-of-print Gold Experience. As a compendium of 17 key A-sides from 1979 to 1992, however, The Very Best of Pri nce is (ahem) a quick-'n'-dirty review of the days when the Artist was, in the estimation of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, one of the weirdest musicians in the Top 10. Blessed with both creative cunning and the wish to reach every listener possible, Prince revitalised rock and soul modes from the sex-crazed ("Little Red Corvette") to the cryptically spiritual ("Purple Rain"). Often he blurred lines between attitudes as surely as he did musical ones; the New Testament image of "Thieves in the Temple" became in his hands a complaint about a stolen girlfriend. A fine party artefact, this disc is still likely to prove too scanty even for many casual Prince fans. --Rickey Wright

 makes you wanna gett off! April 10, 2008
If you were too young at the time to buy his albums but old enough to remember how cool he was and do some sexy dance moves too. This is for you, it has all the greats on there and is a good addition if your adding a few 80's icones to your CD collection.
Thanks for the memories... December 24, 2006

I LOVED Prince all throughout the 80's and listening to this really takes me back to being a teenager with my gang of equally Prince obsessed mates, when it was still really 'fun' to smoke and get drunk! It puts me in a great mood, takes me back and makes me want to go out and party. What more can you ask for from an album?!
One of the best! March 9, 2006

Bought this ages ago after seeing the man perform. Awsome performance rivalling the Rolling Stones and Page and Plant (Saw them all over a period of a few months). Fantastic tracks on this album. I just wish critics such as the Amazon writer here would just enjoy cracking good music instead of being so far up their own backsides trying to find something wrong, somewhere, somehow and hidden meanings in everything they see. Just chill out and enjoy the music man! Rock on/boogie on down Prince!!
ABSALOUTLEY AWESOME!!!!! October 11, 2004
