The third and fourth volume, ''Vault Tracks I'' and ''Vault Tracks II'' contains 12 previously unreleased songs ([[Money Don't Grow On Trees]], [[Vagina]], [[Rearrange]], [[Colleen]], [[Turn It Up]], [[You're All I Want]], [[If It'll Make U Happy]], [[Purple Music]], [[Yah, You Know]], [[No Call U]], [[Don't Let Him Fool Ya]] and [[Teacher, Teacher]]) and 11 previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes of ([[Feel U Up]], [[Irresistible Bitch]], [[Bold Generation]], [[International Lover]], [[Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)]], [[How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore]], [[Possessed]], [[Delirious]], [[Moonbeam Levels]], [[Can't Stop This Feeling I Got]] and [[Do Yourself A Favor]]) recorded between November 1981 and Summer 1982, during sessions for the original [[Album: 1999|1999]] album, although some of these songs were never considered for that record and many of them were reworked over the years, considered for other projects or offered to other artists. Additionally, the ''Vault Tracks II'' contains a solo 'Tour Demo' medley of [[Lady Cab Driver]] / [[I Wanna Be Your Lover]] / [[Head]] / [[Little Red Corvette]] recorded by [[Prince]] between the two legs of the [[1999 Tour]] in 1983. [[Prince]]'s Estate archivist, Michael Howe, wanted to include the initial version of [[Baby I'm A Star]] recorded in December 1981, but this specific recording was not found. The songs of the ''Vault Tracks'' discs are sequenced chronologically with accompanying notes by Duane Tudahl. 16 tracks were mixed by Nick Bolas in 2019 specifically for this release as some of the original mixes made by [[Prince]] or one of his engineer at that time were found only on cassettes. Bolas duplicated as closely as possible those mixes by working with the master tapes. | The third and fourth volume, ''Vault Tracks I'' and ''Vault Tracks II'' contains 12 previously unreleased songs ([[Money Don't Grow On Trees]], [[Vagina]], [[Rearrange]], [[Colleen]], [[Turn It Up]], [[You're All I Want]], [[If It'll Make U Happy]], [[Purple Music]], [[Yah, You Know]], [[No Call U]], [[Don't Let Him Fool Ya]] and [[Teacher, Teacher]]) and 11 previously unreleased versions (alternate or initial takes of ([[Feel U Up]], [[Irresistible Bitch]], [[Bold Generation]], [[International Lover]], [[Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)]], [[How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore]], [[Possessed]], [[Delirious]], [[Moonbeam Levels]], [[Can't Stop This Feeling I Got]] and [[Do Yourself A Favor]]) recorded between November 1981 and Summer 1982, during sessions for the original [[Album: 1999|1999]] album, although some of these songs were never considered for that record and many of them were reworked over the years, considered for other projects or offered to other artists.
