UK CD's

I am looking for good used Prince CD's and found some good deals on Ebay. A lot of them are offered from the UK. Quest: Would a UK CD be the same cuts, lineup as a US version? I am not even sure if these CD's sold from the UK are in fact UK versions... could be US released CD's.
Thanks in advance.

I believe that 99% of the UK cds are the same as the US versions. The only cd that appears to be different to me is Diamonds and Pearls. The cover is a little different (at least my version is).

The US version of Sign 'O' The Times is actually a 2 CD set, but the UK version is a single CD!!!

I have no idea why that is, despite the fact that the track listing is the same in both versions!!!

The original UK Pressing was a 2 CD set

It was later consolidated to a single CD following the technology being improved.

You used to buy the double CD in a double jewel case a la The Hits/B-sides, whereas now you get the double CD in a single jewel case with the flip CD holder. I think that must be what is meant when referring to a single CD?

You also used to be able (when you could get the double CD in a double jewel case) to buy Sides 1 & 2 on a single CD, and sides 3 & 4 on a second single CD.

I believe.

What about the tracked Lovesexy, that seems to be a more UK/european thing?

Also that rare UK only release 'The Eyes of Prince' which has a totally different tracklist to the non-existant one in the U.S of Bush.

I think 'An honest man (piano instrumental)' is not on the non-us version.
And 'Do U lie' (lies mix) is the last track.
