Several songs that were mentioned in the first drafts were not kept as the movie underwent further changes ([[Ruthie Washington Jet Blues]], [[Camille]], [[Everything Could Be So Fine]], [[XYZ]], [[Crucial]], [[Power Fantastic]], [[Beatown]], [[Big Tall Wall]], [[The Grand Progression]], [[U]], [[Cool|Cool 1990]], [[Billie Holiday]], [[Stimulation]] and [[Born Free]]). The first known configuration of the album was dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 25|25 September 1988]], however, and a few other configurations are known to have been made in 1989 and 1990 (see [[#Quotations and trivia|below]]). In late 1988, [[Prince]] used some of the same tracks for the planned album, [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]], but this appears to have been a separate project. |
Several other musicians are listed as contributors on the album, but most appear with only minor contributions, with the bulk of the work on the album done by [[Prince]] alone. | Several other musicians are listed as contributors on the album, but most appear with only minor contributions, with the bulk of the work on the album done by [[Prince]] alone. | ||
