Outline

The compilation was released alongside most of Prince's albums between 1995's The Gold Experience and 2010's 20Ten being made available for the first time on streaming platforms outside of Tidal, which was previously the only streaming service to have exclusive rights to the catalog from that era.[2] The album was curated with the help of Prince's estate and comprises 37 songs.[3]

One major omission, noted by fans and the press, was Prince's only UK Number One single "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World", from 1995. This is due to a long-running copyright dispute that had not been settled by the time of Prince's death in 2016, effectively leaving the song in limbo; not being able to be re-released. This also leaves The Gold Experience reissue in doubt. [4]
