One was manufactured and distributed by RCA Music Club and the other was through Columbia House. The Columbia House release featured a black casing and had the serial number W8 25286. The RCA version features a cream colored casing and the serial number S124370.
This entry covers the RCA release.
The versions of Prince albums appearing on 8-track are limited to only the first 3 Paisley Park albums. At least that's my understanding. I haven't seen another Paisley Park 8-track come up for auction or sale in awhile now..
The songs play in continuous sequence on 8-tracks. There are four sections and each contains songs or portions of songs.
Here is the tracklist as it appears on my 8-track.
PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION - AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY
01. Around The World In A Day (Prince, John L. Nelson, David Coleman), Paisley Park (Prince), Condition Of The Heart (Beg.) (Prince)
