Pride is a compilation album by the American musical group Living Colour, released in 1995. [5] In addition to some of their most commercially successful songs, the album includes four rare tracks recorded for the follow-up to their third album, Stain . [5]
The collection is out of print; problems with the rights ownership make a reissue unlikely.[ citation needed ]
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "singles like 'Type' and 'Glamour Boys', and Vernon Reid’s dive-bomber guitar, amount to one mighty legacy." [6] The Commercial Appeal opined: "Much of the Pride collection is just depressing, documenting the death of a promising band. So, unless you're a devoted fan, skip this one and use the bucks to replace your scarred copy of Vivid." [7]

A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one performer or by several performers. If the recordings are from one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set. If the recordings are from several artists, there may be a theme, topic, time period, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album. When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.
