The title of the album was also a toll-free phone number in North America for customers to purchase Prince-related merchandise.

There were two German releases to this CD; the first release was issued with the reference NPG 6051-2 and is missing artwork from the Steeles album in the liner notes.

The second release, reference 0060512NPG, includes an image of the Steeles album cover artwork.
