Prince – The Hits 1

Love the creamy white coloring on LP. Sound is nothing spectacular, was left a bit disappointed

My copy is fairly quiet, and nicely dynamic and clear. I was afraid of this album reading the other comments, but I'm glad I took the risk and got an excellent record!

Nice presentation with cream vinyl and decent inner sleeves (would prefer poly) with an article and photo details. I’d say this pressing is good but not great, as expected from a compilation of disparate source material, I guess. Nice separation and decent punch, but overall it’s a little bright. Likely cut from digital files, but a great collection of songs from a musical legend. Enjoyable overall.

Flat? Maybe there are multiple versions of this from different plants? my copy sounds great - very dynamic. Keys and guitar jumping out over a bass groove, prince's voice cutting through it all.

my only complaint is that the discs have some manufacturing residue on them - needs a wet cleaning, although seems like every record does, these days.

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.

The Purple One is a musical genius period. I’m glad to have lived during his career. These songs along with Hits 2 are obviously his most popular but a must own collection! Pressing is sounds great. Highly recommended!

Sounds flat to me like others are saying. Not much to brag about, at least it didn’t cost a bunch.

Pouha ! So many songs are cutted. Lame. "Adore "4:41 !! And here people just talk about sound quality...

Not a fan of the mastering, sounds very flat. Disappointed as it's my first Prince vinyl.

Haven't noticed any major issues with the audio quality. Perhaps some folks got bad pressings.
