Track listing
cd (assumed)

Nine tracks are known to have been slated for the project at some point, although there is no extact tracklist or sequence known. In alphabetical order these tracks are:

Black Muse and Cause & Effect are two more tracks assumed to have been recorded around the same time but it’s unclear of they were at any point slated for inclusion on the album.

The version of When She Comes slates for release on this project was more stripped down than the version ultimately released on Hitnrun Phase Two with just piano and not the accordion on the released version. Check The Record, played live once in 2013 was describes as sounded like an outtake from Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, with Prince boasting about how many songs he had and named checked Sheryl Crow’s song ‘Favorite Mistake’. Not much is known about Stand Up & B Strong, except that it was a duet with Elisa Dease. Both Hot Summer and Chapter & Verse were the same versions as streamed in 2010 and released in 2013 respectively. The studio version of Welcome 2 America, played as an interpolation in Dreamer on the Welcome 2 America Tour featured background singers including Shelby J., Liv Warflied and Elisa Dease.
