Torrent description

The Hits/The B-Sides is the first greatest hits compilation album by Prince, released in 1993.
It is a comprehensive 3-disc set, with a great many of his hit singles and fan favorites. Four
new tracks — "Pink Cashmere," "Peach," "Pope", and "Power Fantastic" — are also included.

Disc one and two were released separately, under the titles The Hits 1 and The Hits 2
respectively, but the B-Sides disc could only be obtained by purchasing the full set. Most of
the songs (A-sides and B-sides) on The Hits/The B-Sides are represented in their single
(edited) form, but this was necessary due to time constraints, and the nature of a greatest-hits
collection. Exceptions to this were "Alphabet St.," "Little Red Corvette," "Sexy M.F.,"and
"Purple Rain." This was also the first time the single version of "Kiss" was available on CD.
The third disc of B-sides also featured the 7" edits, with the exceptions of "200 Balloons," "17
Days," "Gotta Stop (Messin' About)," "Horny Toad," "Feel U Up," "I Love U In Me," "God," and
"How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore?," which were all original full-length recordings from
the original singles.

Among the previously unreleased material was the rare, live version of "4 the Tears In Your
Eyes," only previously released in a 1985 TV broadcast for the Live Aid concerts. Also
included was a live version of "Nothing Compares 2 U," recorded live January 27, 1992 at
Paisley Park with the New Power Generation. The other four new tracks were outtakes. The
oldest track was "Power Fantastic," a moody ballad once considered for the Dream Factory
project of 1986. Another ballad, "Pink Cashmere," was broadcast before some of the
Lovesexy Tours, dating it back to 1988. "Peach" and "Pope" were more recent, and both were
played live during some 1993 after shows. "Pope" was actually in the short-lived musical
ballet, Glam Slam Ulysses, which also spawned several songs later released on Come and
The Gold Experience. Live jams of "Peach" often extended into the title track for Chaos and
Disorder.

While Prince had very little interest in the project, he insisted that his longtime manager Alan
Leeds write the liner notes over Rolling Stone journalist Neal Karlen. According to Prince
biographer Per Nilsen, the record company actually had paid to Prince not get involved with
the making of this compilation.
