All attempted recreation of single edits are restored to actual single versions on digital edition with the exception of Off the Wall, which is an further edit of U.K. 7" remix and Will You Be There, which is radio edit with newly added string intro, both versions are exclusive to this release.
Enjoy Yourself, Blame It on the Boogie, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough and Black or White are restored to album lengths on digital edition.
The uncut version of The Lady in My Life was announced on Legacy Recordings' website to be released on 2008's 3.0 edition bonus disc, but eventually omitted for unknown reasons. However, this version is previously available on the 2002 compilation The Songs of Rod Temperton, which has become a much sought-after item among Jackson collectors upon release, despite the fact that the version on the compilation is an inferior tape transfer with heavy, irreparable distortion due to tape degradation.
A U.K. exclusive edition of this compilation was renamed as The Hits (with the same font as the five-album box set The Collection) and given a colorized version of cover in 2009.
