| − | The collection contained one song with writing input by [[Prince]], [[Just Another Sucker]], and [[Prince]] appeared as a musician on all tracks, stemming from recording sessions between 1975 and 1979 (the cover subtitle incorrectly labels the sessions as "the historic 1977 recordings"). | + | The collection contained one song with writing input by [[Prince]], [[Just Another Sucker]], and [[Prince]] appeared as a musician on all tracks, stemming from recording sessions between 1975 and 1979 (the cover subtitle incorrectly labels the sessions as "the historic 1977 recordings"). Additional recordings and remixes were done by [[Pepé Willie]] between 1984 and 1985. The initial issue was credited to [[94 East]] featuring [[Prince]]. |
| − | + | '''Minneapolis Genius''' was released without much promotion by Hot Pink Records Inc., and did not chart. Two singles ([[Single: Just Another Sucker|Just Another Sucker]] and [[Single: If You Feel Like Dancin’|If You Feel Like Dancin’]]) had no chart impact either. | |

A third collection, simply titled [[Album: 94 East|94 East]], with two other songs featuring [[Prince]] was released in 2002. |
| + | The collections have been since re-released multiple times with different sequences of tracks by European labels through loose license agreements with small independent labels which take advantage of gray areas of copyrights to place these records in stores. Some had artworks with [[Prince]]’s name and image featured more prominently than [[94 East]]. This compilations were released without [[Pepé Willie]]’s consent who sent cease-and-desist letters to those labels without much success. These issues (''Lovin’ Cup'' for instance for the [[Album: Minneapolis Genius|Minneapolis Genius]] album) are not listed below being semi-official or bootlegs (only the initial release by Hot Pink Records Inc. is considered as legit). | ||

| + | [[Prince]] had no input into any of the [[94 East]] collections, however, and was upset at its releases, leading to a heated discussions between [[Prince]] and [[Pepé Willie]] in 1986 and in Early 2000. | ||
