This title certainly aims to include a complete collection of Prince's recordings, both vinyl and CD. However, Fun With Vinyl is particular about sound. The recordings were played on a Technics SL-1200MK2 record player and recorded to a Sony PCM-R300 DAT tape via a Yamaha RX-Z1 audio/video receiver. The audio was then imported to a PC using a Turtle Beach Catalina sound card and Cool Edit Pro software, where it was remastered, including removing clicks, and converted to digital WAV files. The sound quality is of the highest order. Another groundbreaking feature is the inclusion of edited versions not previously included in the Anthology series, as well as B-sides that were omitted because Prince was not involved. And while not associated with Prince, the album also includes artists related to him, both before and after.

This volume, Volume 9, is divided into Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 features Alexander O'Neal, who formed Flight Time with Jam & Lewis. He later helped Prince debut on Warner Bros. Records, but Alex's vocals sounded too dark, so he replaced him with Morris Day. That was The Time. Meanwhile, Alexander made his solo debut, produced by his friends Jam & Lewis. They often handled remixes, and they've done some fantastic work. Their remix of the smash hit "Fake" is thrilling, as expected.
