Prince’s three-disc collection, The Hits/The B-Sides, is definitely career-spanning and a great assortment of singles and rarities. However, if you’re looking to buy a cheaper single disc collection of all the biggest hits, this is not your collection. If you’re looking for a document of Prince at the height of his musical powers, this is what you should be looking for.
