Hot Chocolate

~ Release by Prince (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Outtakes and unreleased material from the mid 80's

The track numbering is quite random (one is missing another one splits one track into two) this causes confusion in the first four tracks.

Track 1 is actually titled "Crystal Ball" in other releases
Track 2 is titled "Strange Relationship" only but contains "Wonderful Ass"
Track 3 is titled"Wonderful Ass" but it's the first part of "Neon Telephone" while the rest of it is in track 4
Track 8 is listed as "Untitled" but would later be titled "Data Bank" when performed by The Time

The labels & catalog-numbers appear different on Disc (Rs Records - CD DAVY 1) and on artwork (Mongoose Records - PU 100)
