Do Yourself A Favor). A re-recorded version with 94 East was later released on Symbolic Beginning Track 13 is pirated from The B-Side of Jungle Love Track 14 is taken from a radio broadcast (to promote the opening of the new Glam Slam Club in Minneapolis) the song shares the title with the 1988 single Glam Slam but is't to consider as kind of forecast to Gett Off Track 15 is a demo. Mica Paris released it in 1991 as "If I Love U 2 Nite". Prince's demo version was released by accident on the promo 12" A Stand 4 Love E·P. In 1995 a cover version was released by Mayte. Track 16 is the original recording of I Wish U Heaven featuring guitar instead of synths Track 17 is the original recording including Cat's rap (from Music Is The Key). For the released version on the Lovesexy album Prince removed it after he found out it's origin.
