Warner Bros. To Release Prince Music Collection CD and DVD
...I know there are a lot of Prince fans here, so I thought you'd dig this piece of information and I didn't see a general Prince topic, so here you go.
I'm sure most of you know the drama behind Prince and Warner, blah, blah, blah, and it isn't any different than the one that was accidentally released a few months ago, but now it will be universally available at a decent price:

On August 22 Warner Bros. Records salutes Twin Cities’ funknastiest son, Prince with a pair of releases: "Ultimate Prince," a two-disc compilation featuring his biggest hits and hard-to-find remixes; plus "Diamonds and Pearls," a DVD collection of videos, performances and more. Both releases capture his 18-year reign at Warner Bros., an ara during which he built a legacy of genre-bending hits that made him music royalty.
Featuring more than two-and-a-half hours of prime Prince, "Ultimate Prince" 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."
Also included in this treasure chest of royal rarities, are 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," "Thieves In The Temple" from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack.
"Diamonds and Pearls" contains more than an hour of music including the DVD debut of concert performances, interviews and classic videos. The collection spotlights songs from Diamonds and Pearls, Prince’s thirteenth studio album and his first with the New Power Generation. Videos for the smash singles "Gett Off," "Cream" and the title track are bolstered by clips of fan favorites such as "Money Don’t Matter 2 Night" and "Insatiable," as well as three more album tracks.
The DVD also features concert footage of Prince and the NPG working up a sweaty funk on the Diamonds and Pearls tracks or putting their unmistakable spin on Aretha Franklin’s classic soul hit, "Dr. Feelgood." Interviews with Prince and the band round out the DVD.
