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]

Critical reception[]

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]
