Prince 1999 Super Deluxe Edition

   The Vault tracks are interesting in that you can definitely hear the transition from Controversy to 1999.  Several tracks from the Vault material sound more pre-1999, with not as much use of the Linn drum machine.  The drum machine and "computerized" sound is what gives a lot of the album it's unique sound and cohesiveness.

Another note is that the "full length" version of "Delirious" included on Disc 2 is not the same mix as the LP version.  The booklet indicates that this mix was done on the same day it was recorded.  That would mean a new mix was made later and then edited down.
