It's certainly a title that aims to capture Prince's complete 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 then 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 top-notch. Another groundbreaking feature is the inclusion of edited versions not included in the Anthology series, as well as B-sides that were omitted because Prince was not involved. While not associated with Prince, the album also includes artists connected to him, both before and after.

This volume, Volume 5, is divided into Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 features a George Clinton remix. Although Prince wasn't involved, it was released on Paisley Park Records, and it's rumored that he provided some uncredited support as a way of giving back to George. However, Prince was responsible for the remixes of Hystrical and Tweakin', which is officially confirmed. For some reason, the Fun With Vinyl series doesn't include the radio mix of Tweakin'. So, while it's not a special Fun With Vinyl remaster, a funksoulmusic remastered version of the radio mix of Tweakin' has been included as a secret at the end of Disc 2.
