By this time [[Vanity]] had just left the [[Prince]] camp and [[Apollonia]] was yet to be cast as her replacement.

While the [[Single: When Doves Cry|When Doves Cry]] single was credited only to [[Prince]], [[17 Days]] was credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]], marking it the earliest release of a track containing this credit. |
