This album certainly aims to capture Prince's entire sound, both on vinyl and CD. However, Fun With Vinyl is particular about the sound. It was played on a Technics SL-1200MK2 record player, then recorded to a Sony PCM-R300 DAT tape via a Yamaha RX-Z1 audio/video receiver. The resulting audio was then played on a Turtle Beach Catalina sound card and Cool Edit The audio was imported to a PC using Pro software, then remastered, including removing clicks, and converted to digital WAV files. The sound quality is top-notch. Another groundbreaking feature is the inclusion of edit versions not previously included in the Anthology series, as well as B-sides that were omitted because Prince was not involved. It also includes works by artists with connections to Prince, both before and after.

This Volume 18 is divided into Parts 1 and 2 and is a set-only release. It features 7-inch and 12-inch versions from Prince's vinyl era. While some of the vinyl is owned by Fun With Vinyl, after testing, we determined that remastering T's 12" Archive V2.0 and 7-inch In The Computer Volume 1 would sound better, and these have been included. Also included are edits of the Dance Remix of Little Red Corvette, and both the stereo and mono versions of Let's Pretend We're Married are included, along with rare tracks like the Contoured second half of Alphabet St.
