The album sessions took place at [[Record Plant]], Sausalito, CA, USA, from 1 October 1977 to 22 December 1977, before overdubs and mixing were done in early January 1978 at [[Sound Labs]], Los Angeles, CA, USA. While [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] had initially given [[Prince]] a budget of $180,000 for his first three albums, the album sessions of '''For You''' accumulated $170,000 in studio bills. | The album sessions took place at [[Record Plant]], Sausalito, CA, USA, from 1 October 1977 to 22 December 1977, before overdubs and mixing were done in early January 1978 at [[Sound Labs]], Los Angeles, CA, USA.

− | + | [[Prince]]'s handwritten notes as used in [[Book:_The_Beautiful_Ones|The Beautiful Ones]] book released posthumously in 2019 revealed a previously-unknown early configuration of the album, from which only three of the nine tracks carried over to the next configuration and to the final release - [[For You]], [[Soft And Wet]], and [[Baby]]. This configuration closed with a cover version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Collins Judy Collins'] song [[Send In The Clowns]]. The notes also revealed four other track titles that were previously unknown ([[Bodyfreeze]], [[Never Really Fell Out Of Love With You]], [[You Are Everything To Me]], and [[Let Me Touch You]]), as well as two tracks that were previously known but which did not make it onto later configurations ([[I Spend My Time Loving You]] and [[Love In The Morning]]). It is assumed that these tracks were indeed recorded, but it has not been confirmed that the album was ever actually compiled in this form; it is certainly possible that [[Prince]] was working through ideas when writing down this tracklist. The tracklist is included below as an early configuration. | |

+ | A later configuration of the album contains a different sequence and including the unreleased tracks [[Make It Through The Storm]] (here titled [[Make It Through The Storm|We'll Make It Through The Storm]]) and [[Amber Eyes]]. Some of the versions included vary in timing from the released album, and the unreleased sequence is listed below (although minor discrepancies do not necessarily indicate a different version of the song was used, and may simply reflect a difference in silence at the beginning or end of a track). | ||
[[Prince]] was credited for all vocals, songwriting, every instrument played on the album, as well as the whole arrangements and production. The only credit given to someone other than [[Prince]] is a co-writing credit to [[Chris Moon]] for the lyrics of [[Soft And Wet]]. Moon and Prince disagreed over credits due on [[My Love Is Forever]], which was financially settled after the album release. | [[Prince]] was credited for all vocals, songwriting, every instrument played on the album, as well as the whole arrangements and production.
