Versace 2006 (not the the 1994 Prelude 2 Gold)

Alright, so I'm confused, and I need help figuring this out. I have had (for some time, I think I got them from the Wow! boot) a set of tracks that are identified as as 2006 Versace Experience, with the following tracks:

.

Around the World in a Day/Lolita/Love/Black Sweat/Kiss/Shhh/Kiss Reprise.

.

So, when I saw the tracks labeled "The Versace Experience II (2006)" on Blast from the Past 2.0, I didn't pay any attention to them--I just assumed they were an upgrade in sound of something I already had that I didn't consider remarkably important in Prince's work. I finally listened tonight, and I still don't consider them remarkably important, but it's a different set of tracks than the other:

.

The Journey to the Hanamachi/Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Around the World in a Day/Lolita/Satisfied/Black Sweat/Kiss/Shhh

.

Then, I looked around a bit to find out what was up with the two different sets, and I found references to the set I already had as a "Spring/Summer 2007 Mix" and yet another set, including what I guess are remixes of other artists' works as well (at least, I doubt they're Prince performances, but maybe?), called the "Spring 2006 Mix":

.

Intro/Kiss [House Version]/Let's Go Crazy/Groove Is In The Heart [Deee-Lite]/U Got the Look/Ghetto Life [Rick James]/Word Up! [Cameo]/House Mix (of what, I don't know)/Groove Is In The Heart/Kiss

.

The last two were apparently available at some point together on a release, but I haven't seen any real details. I saw some discussion on an earlier .org thread, but not much. So who knows what the story is on the relationship between these sets, which one (if any) was actually used for the show, and what exactly is that third set that I haven't heard?

Okay, I'm back with an addendum. Looked around a bit more, found what I think is a reference (from Giovanni) in this thread that suggests that the actual show used the most recent [Blast from the Past] set. So was the actual mix used not circulating until now, and the one (or I guess ones) that were circulating before were never used?

Wait, here's the earlier thread:

.

Okay, I've now found the other set. This seems truly uninspired. I assume Prince had relatively little to do with it--but I guess I'll keep it.
