A recall campaign was launched by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Records Island Records] to get back these 200 disputed copies sent to DJs. Although available for a limited time and on official media (becoming an instantly collectible item), [[Prince]]’s version is considered unofficial. | ||
