Reviews
Having owned both the '93 and these current pressings of Hits 1&2 I have to say this is a great reissue and absolutely worth throwing some cash at. I would say recommended over dropping unnecessarily high amounts on an overrated (by people trying to justify maintaining value on an old one) original.
I know a lot of people bitch about pressings from Czech Republic online however I have yet to see any evidence of anything wrong with them. The reissues sound much fuller to me, distortion free (not so with the '93) and the cover/inners are better quality).
In terms of the contents of you're reading this you're likely already familiar and will know you can't buy one without the other and there isn't a duff track between them (including the "new" tracks).
Treat yourself whilst they remain in print.
Great companion to Hits 1. Prince is a musical genius and icon. Blessed to have these songs. Pressing is pretty good. Highly recommended!
Acoustic Sounds delivered my copy today and it sounds truly stellar! Flat, Black, liquid, staging is deep, wide, and enveloping. I'm very happy with the quality of this pressing.- I received my copy from Amazon US today, listening now and it sounds great to me, playing with Technics SL-1210 MK7, very clean audio. I'm glad it came with printed inner sleeves after reading somewhere they come in standard white sleeves.
Purchased through Amazon in Germany - TERRIBLE quality control. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
