Y wasn't VTOG on the hits/b-sides

I was just thinking while i was watching my GETT OFF video, Y wasn't Violet the organ grinder on the B-sides of the hits?

It was a b-side right?

This song is soo much better than Gett Off, shame he didn't place this on D&P sad

It was a track on a maxi single.

The official B-side to Gett Off was Horny Pony.

I'd have loved Horny Pony on that collection... I've never seen it anywhere but on my cassingle.

What they should've done was kicked off 200 Balloons, and left on the full version of Another Lonely Christmas, which was criminally edited...

As with the Hits Volumes I and II, some licence was given regarding the choice.

Alike the other two discs (which each included two previously unreleased tracks) the B-sides listing included 'Power Fantastic' and the alternative 'Live Aid'-aired video version of '4 The Tears In Your Eyes', neither of which had by definition previously featured as B-sides.

This meant that, as with the other 2 discs, some choices were needed.

Probably to compensate for their exclusion, some 'hits' and 'B-sides' were featured in the 2-CD single releases that accompanied the package:

Peach 2CD single set

CD1
1. Peach
2. Mountains (Album version)
3. Partyman (Edit)
4. Money Don't Matter 2Nite (Edit)

CD2
1. Peach
2. I Wish U Heaven
3. Girls & Boys
4. My Name Is Prince

Controversy 2CD single set

CD1
1. Controversy
2. The Future (Remix)
3. Glam Slam
4. D.M.S.R.

CD2
1. Controversy
2. Anotherloverholenyohead
3. Paisley Park
4. New Power Generation Pt II

Somewhat oddly, both 'The Pope' from 'The Hits' and the extended version of 'Alexa De Paris' subsequently featured on the German CD single release of 'Letitgo'.

Great question. I was thinking the same thing too.
