Prince (August 17 2018) – Anthology: 1995–2010 Album Release Worldwide (Digital)
Anthology: 1995–2010 is the seventh compilation album of Prince’s studio work, and the third official posthumous album release, released with no prior announcement in August 2018 as the first Prince release through a new deal through Sony’s Legacy Recordings covering Prince’s post‑Warner Bros. independent output (some of which was originally released as ). As such, this was the first compilation to include material from this era, although a few tracks were included from ’s Warner Bros. releases The Gold Experience and Chaos And Disorder.
Although billed as an anthology from 1995–2010, the tracks Dream Factory and Crucial, released on Crystal Ball in 1998, were recorded in November 1985 and September 1986 respectively. Additionally, many of the tracks originally released on The Gold Experience and Chaos And Disorder (along with Strays Of The World), released on Crystal Ball, were recorded in 1993 or 1994. The “1995–2010” designation refers only to original release dates.
The 37 tracks come from 20 albums released from 1995–2010, and all are studio tracks with the exception of Empty Room, taken from the C‑Note live album. All 20 albums were made available for streaming on the same day as the compilation’s release, under the same deal with Sony’s Legacy Recordings.
Most albums were represented by only one track on the album. Chaos And Disorder, Emancipation, Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, Musicology, The Chocolate Invasion and Lotusflow3r were represented by two songs each, while Crystal Ball, The Rainbow Children and Planet Earth were represented by three songs each. The Gold Experience had six tracks.
Notably absent was The Most Beautiful Girl In The World. Also absent was material from Old Friends 4 Sale and Girl 6. There were no previously‑unreleased tracks. Crucial appeared with a clean fade‑out. Hate U was the longer full‑length version.
The compilation is available for streaming and download in digital formats only.
