Trivia

Released as a triple album to celebrate Prince's parting with Warner Brothers - Prince stockpiling his output in recent years so not to give his former label new material to release, releasing them instead here under EMI. Released under the name of it is his first album to contain cover versions: Betcha By Golly Wow! (The Stylistics); La, La, La Means I Love You (The Delfonics); One Of Us (Joan Osbourne) and; I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Rait). EMI Records went into bankruptcy during the album's promotion, but it still became the fourth biggest selling triple album in US history. The album contained so many songs that it needed its own lyric book separately published, and the exact 60 minute length of each disk is entire intentional.
