A SoundPress.net Feature Article by Rich and Laura Lynch

LOS ANGELES - During his groundbreaking 18-year paisley reign at Warner Bros., Prince built a superfunkycalifragisexy legacy of genre-bending hits that made him royalty on the rock, soul, pop and R&B charts. Warner Bros. Records salutes Minneapolis' funknastiest son with a two-disc compilation of his biggest hits alongside hard-to-find remixes.


Featuring more than two-and-a-half hours of prime Prince, ULTIMATE includes songs recorded between 1978 and 1993. The two-disc set contains the Grammy-winning singles "Kiss" and "Purple Rain," plus #1 pop hits "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy" as well as rare remixes of "Cream," "Little Red Corvette" and "Pop Life."

Drawing from music Prince originally recorded with his backing bands The Revolution and The New Power Generation, ULTIMATE tracks the artist's evolution from his early albums (Prince, Dirty Mind and Controversy) and pop successes (1999, Purple Rain and Sign 'O' The Times) to more eclectic albums (Lovesexy, Diamonds And Pearls and the "symbol" album).

A marathon of funky joints, sensual ballads and dynamic pop, ULTIMATE features Prince's first #1 R&B hit, "I Wanna Be Your Lover" from his self-titled 1979 sophomore album, as well as his Top 5 Pop hits: "Sign 'O' The Times," "Raspberry Beret" and "U Got The Look," and his Top 5 R&B hits: "Controversy," "1999" and "Alphabet St."

A treasure chest of royal rarities, ULTIMATE collects hard-to-find tracks including the single version of "7" from the symbol album; the 12-inch version of "Raspberry Beret" from Around The World In A Day and the classic B-side "She's Always In My Hair" rounded out with remixes of "Hot Thing" from Sign 'O' The Times and "Thieves In The Temple" from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack.

Considered a musical genius by many of his peers, Prince Rogers Nelson occupies a rarified place in music history as a 4-time Grammy winner, prolific hitmaker, electrifying performer and consummate musician.
