''The Hits Collection'' is a collection of
music videos released in 1993 to accompany the
Prince's
greatest hits collection, ''
The Hits/The B-Sides''. Being a single
VHS cassette/Laserdisc/
DVD, the collection is only an hour long and excludes many tracks from the audio release. Many of his biggest hits like "
When Doves Cry", "
Batdance", "
U Got the Look", "
Let's Go Crazy" and "
Purple Rain" were left off the collection, while the
karaoke-style video for "
Sign o' the Times" was included. The collection included some of Prince's earliest videos, which are rarely seen on television.
