While the bulk of the album was recorded in a condensed time period, between September 1993, and March 1994, some tracks date back to earlier recording sessions. [[Shhh]] had originally been recorded in mid-to-late June 1992 for use by [[Tevin Campbell]], but the version included on '''The Gold Experience''' was a re-recording from early 1994. | While the bulk of the album was recorded in a condensed time period, between September 1993, and March 1994, some tracks date back to earlier recording sessions.

+ | In 1995, two Italian songwriters, Bruno Bergonzi and Michele Vicino filed a lawsuit against Prince for plagiarism. Bergonzi and Vicino claimed that [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] borrowed heavily from one of their song called ''Takin' Me To Paradise'' released by Raynard J. in 1983. Bergonzi and Vicino won their case in 2007. This judgement was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Cassation in Italy in 2015, acknowledging Bergonzi and Vicino as co-authors of [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]]. Although this decision is only limited to the Italian territory (where the song is banned for distribution), it impacted the status of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] in other countries. After [[Prince]]'s passing, his [[The Prince Estate|Estate]] made all his albums available on streaming plateforms and re-released many of them physically (through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Sony's Legacy Recordings]), except [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] because of this legal action. | ||
