Packaging[]
First few pressings of the album featured only 10 songs on the tracklist, from "Vision of Love" to "Prisoner", however because the song "Love Takes Time" was recorded at the last minute while the album was already being pressed by CBS (now Sony Music), the song does not appear as the 11th song on the tracklist, but is still on the disc itself. Newer pressings of the album now contain "Love Takes Time" as the 11th track compared to earlier pressings that completely did not.
