As such, this was the first compilation to include material from this era, although a few tracks were included from [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] releases [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] and [[Album: Chaos And Disorder|Chaos And Disorder]]. |

It is unclear if this is because rights for the track reside with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] or if it is possibly related to an ongoing [http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7445762/princes-italian-plagiarism-case copyright infringement case] involving the song.

Old Friends 4 Sale|Old Friends 4 Sale]] and the soundtrack album [[Album: Girl 6|Girl 6]], rights for which seem to reside with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] |
There were no previously-unreleased tracks on the album. The only change from previous releases appeared to be a clean fade-out on [[Crucial]] (which was overlapped with [[An Honest Man]] on [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]]). Interestingly, [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Hate U]][[Eye Hate U| Hate U]] was not, in fact, the album version, but the longer full-length version (without the [[NPG Operator#NPG Operator # 6|NPG Operator]] segue overlaid on the finale), which was released with the erroneous title "Album Version" on the [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Single: Eye Hate U]][[Single: Eye Hate U| Hate U]] maxi-single. | There were no previously-unreleased tracks on the album.
