It is possible that one of the new tracks was [[U Make My Sun Shine]], which had already been released as a single, but this is purely speculative. It is possible that one of the "remastered re-recordings" included on the album would have been [[1999|1999: The New Master]], which had been released as a single in 1999, but during the years following the end of the year 1999 [[Prince]] viewed the song as "retired" (not playing it live), making its inclusion unlikely. | It is possible that one of the new tracks was [[U Make My Sun Shine]], which had already been released as a single, but this is purely speculative.
