The announcement stated that [[Prince]] was in negotiations with a major record store chain to distribute the album, said to contain 20 "remastered re-recordings" of [[Prince]]’s greatest hits, along with "at least four brand new songs". This album was not released, however (likely due to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] release of [[Album: The Very Best Of Prince|The Very Best Of Prince]] in July 2001). |

It is possible that one of the new tracks was [[U Make My Sun Shine]], which had already been released as a single, but this is purely speculative. It is possible that one of the "remastered re-recordings" included on the album would have been [[1999|1999: The New Master]], which had been released as a single in 1999, but during the years following the end of the year 1999 [[Prince]] viewed the song as "retired" (not playing it live), making its inclusion unlikely. | It is possible that one of the new tracks was [[U Make My Sun Shine]], which had already been released as a single, but this is purely speculative.
