The album title suggests a connection with [[Prince]]'s various "hit n' run" one-off shows - a term he has used since the Spring 1986 series of short-notice shows prior to the [[Parade Tour]] - this is a studio album recorded and produced in similar fashion to his other recent work, however. | The album title suggests a connection with [[Prince]]'s various "hit n' run" one-off shows - a term he has used since the Spring 1986 series of short-notice shows prior to the [[Parade Tour]] - this is a studio album recorded and produced in similar fashion to his other recent work, however. | ||

In late 1993 or early 1994 [[Rosie Gaines]]' vocals were replaced by [[Nona Gaye]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, and her version was intended for a planned project titled [[Album: MPLS|MPLS]], but this project remained unfinished.
