Why This CD Matters
This 18-track collection follows Prince’s sound from early funk and synth-pop through the Revolution years and into the New Power Generation era. It moves from “Controversy” and “I Wanna Be Your Lover” to “Raspberry Beret,” “Kiss,” “Gett Off,” and “Purple Rain.” The set also includes “Peach” and “Pope,” adding tracks beyond the familiar hits.
