Of the nine songs included on the album, four had not been previously released in any form by [[Prince]]: [[Mary Don't You Weep]] (a cover version of an old negro spiritual from the American Civil War), [[Wednesday]], [[Cold Coffee & Cocaine]], and [[Why The Butterflies]]. A studio version of [[Wednesday]] was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 24|24 October 1983]], and was included as the fifth track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 7|7 November 1983]], configuration of [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], but was removed from the album and the movie as the project progressed. It is not known if, but seems unlikely that full studio versions of [[Mary Don't You Weep]], [[Cold Coffee & Cocaine]], and [[Why The Butterflies]] were ever recorded. | Of the nine songs included on the album, four had not been previously released in any form by [[Prince]]: [[Mary Don't You Weep]] (a cover version of an old negro spiritual from the American Civil War), [[Wednesday]], [[Cold Coffee & Cocaine]], and [[Why The Butterflies]].
