The album, newly remastered by Bernie Grundman, is complemented by a collection of B-sides, remixes and edits; 33 unreleased recordings from the legendary Vault at Paisley Park, and live concerts in audio and visual forms,.

When I read about releases like this, the first thing I check is to see if it will be available on CD. Sadly too many these days are download only or even if they are released on vinyl only, that does nothing for a CD freak like me.

If there is a bright side, it does appear that most CD releases these days are in fact re-issues or Greatest Hits sets or whatever, such as this one, which means that there is still hope for getting some more Golden Oldies released.
