The album opens with the unreleased [[Playtime]], which dates it earlier than it was believed to be recorded previously, and should be a version where [[Marva King]] is not singing lead as she didn't start working with Prince until 1997. [[The Good Life|The Good Life (Big City Remix)]] is likely the same version as was released on the [[Single: The Good Life|The Good Life]] maxi-single. [[Soul Sanctuary]], the first [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_St._Victor Sandra St. Victor] song on this album, ended up on [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]] while [[18 & Over]] remains unreleased. Next up is another [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_St._Victor Sandra St. Victor] colaboration song [[Stone]], which also remains unreleased, followed by [[I Like It There]], that was released on [[Album: Chaos And Disorder|Chaos & Disorder]] in 1996. [[Da Bang]] got its release on [[Album: Crystal Ball| Crystal Ball]] in 1998, while the third [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_St._Victor Sandra St. Victor] collaboration [[Eye'll Never B Another Fool|I'll Never B Another Fool]] was ultimately released in a version with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/_Khan Chaka Khan] singing lead as as [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye'll Never B Another Fool]][[Eye'll Never B Another Fool|'ll Never B Another Fool]] on her [[Album: Come 2 My House|Come 2 My House]] album, also in 1998. The fourth and last [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_St._Victor Sandra St. Victor] collaboration is next, [[Van Gogh]], which is likely the same 1995 version that was released in [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_6|NPG Music Club Edition # 6]] as mp3 download. The penultimate song [[Poorgoo|Poor Goo]] was released in a live-in-the-studio version on [[Home_Video:_The_Undertaker|The_Undertaker]] home video and as mp3 download in [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_11|NPG Music Club Edition # 11]]. It is not known if this album would have featured the same version or a different 'true' studio recording.

The artwork by [[Michael Van Huffel]]) shows the same Richard Avedon picture of [[Prince]] in a silver Versace top that was made for a ''GQ Magazine'' photoshoot in 1995, and also used on the [[Single:_P._Control| P. Control]] promo cassette, but against a pink/magenta background. The only text reads Playtime by Versace and the [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]. The cd itself has the text 'Sex Clothes 4 The New Power Generation' written in black on pink.magenta, in circles inside one another five times.
