I must admit my 16 year old self got pretty bored by the final side of 1999.
The single LP edit of 1999 removed "D.M.S.R.", "Automatic", "All the Critics Love U in New York" and "International Lover". Anything like your edit? (I would have kept Automatic).

How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore
That's still 41 minutes
Was unaware that Graffiti Bridge had only three new songs. News to me.
Even the title track is from an earlier project. Most of these are from his imperial phase. Crazy how much high quality material he had in the vault. :)
“The album was largely made up of older tracks revived from the vault and reworked for release, and could be considered a "greatest hits" of unreleased material.”

Sorry: only 2 songs new songs (“Thieves in the Temple”, Tevin Campbell’s “Round and Round”) on Graffiti Bridge. :)
Video provides background for each of the 17 album track:

I don’t have How Come U Don’t so I kept Delirious after Corvette.
