But some of the 7" singles in this box set have different b-sides compared to their original releases. The original [[Single: Cream|Cream]] single had its b-side [[Horny Pony]] replaced with [[Gangster Glam]] in this box set, as [[Horny Pony]] is also the b-side to [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]]. The original US 7" single for [[Single: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] contained X-cerpts From The Songs: [[Thunder]], [[Daddy Pop]], [[Strollin’]], [[Jughead]], [[Money Don’t Matter 2 Night]], [[Push]], [[Live 4 Love]] as its b-side. In this box set this compilation of album track snippets has been replaced with the European b-side [[Do Your Dance|Q In Doubt]]. |

No scans of the original releases were used. Somewhat odd the original 1991 US 7" single for [[Single: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] was released in a white paper sleeve. So [https://www.mathieubitton.fr/ Bitton] based the artwork for that 7" single in the box set on the 1991 US cassette single art, not on the more common international [[Single: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] single artwork. In a [https://www.facebook.com/groups/26634974809/permalink/10161282495614810/ Facebook post] [https://www.mathieubitton.fr/ Bitton] confirmed that the set had been planned for release by the Prince Estate for 2022, and that this planned release was going to include a 12-page booklet filled with unseen photos. This booklet was omitted from the 2023 release that was issued under supervision of the new team that took over The Estate in the summer of 2022. [https://www.mathieubitton.fr/ Bitton] also revealed that the version of [[Alice Through The Looking Glass]] was different (an early mix) than the one that ended-up being released. |
