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 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.
