While [[Prince]] was heavily involved in the album, this is is the only track to be credited as "produced, written and arranged by [[Sheila E.]] and [[Prince]]" - in fact, while [[Sheila E.]] sings on the track and plays percussion, all other vocals and instruments (other than saxophone by [[Eddie M.]]) are played by [[Prince]]. In 2001, a 1986 live version by [[Prince and the Revolution]] from the [[Parade Tour]] was included (along with other live tracks from the same show) in the [[NPG Ahdio Show 4]] download from the [[NPG Music Club]]. |

While [[Prince]] was heavily involved in the whole album, he only received credit for '''A Love Bizarre''' – in fact, while [[Sheila E.]] sings on the track and plays percussion (recorded in Cincinnati, Ohio on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 20|20 January 1985]]), all other instruments (other than saxophone by [[Eddie M.]]) are played by [[Prince]]. [[Sheila E.]] band members [[Susie Davis]], [[Stephan Birnbaum]] as well as [[Jerome Benton]] were in the studio too, and provided background vocals for the track. The full-length track, at 12:18, was edited into sections for its single release, with the b-side, '''A Love Bizarre (Part II)''', simply an additional edited portion of the full-length track. |
