Jill Jones is the first album by Jill Jones, and her only album to feature Prince input.

All of the eight tracks were written by Prince (although he was listed as co-writer only on five, with Jill Jones taking credit for seven of the tracks), and seven of the tracks feature his input musically.


First steps

Prince had first met Jill Jones on the Dirty Mind Tour, where she sang background vocals for the opening act Teena Marie.

Jill Jones also sang background vocals on many studio tracks for Prince beginning with the 1999 album (also joining the live band on the 1999 Tour), and a solo album was planned for many years before its eventual completion and release.


Sessions and compiling

The tracks were recorded between July 1982 and October 1986. Many of them were initially recorded by Prince before lead vocal overdubs by Jill Jones were added.

Mia Bocca was initially recorded by Prince in May 1982. Baby, You’re A Trip followed in July 1982. G-Spot was recorded in August 1983 (and was considered for use in the Purple Rain movie). All Day, All Night was recorded live at Prince’s birthday concert on 7 June 1984.

In May 1985, Prince and Jill Jones recorded My Man together, as work on her album began in earnest. Later in May, Prince and Jill Jones recorded several more tracks for the album: Come Elektra Tuesday, Married Man, Killin’ At The Soda Shop, Polka-Dotted Tiger, Living Doll and For Love, of which For Love is the only track included on the album.

In August 1985, Prince and Jill Jones recorded My Sex for the album, which was at one point considered as a title track for the album, but later rejected, and revised Mia Bocca, G-Spot and Baby, You’re A Trip. Prince worked further on many of the album’s tracks in January 1986.

In February 1986, Euphoria Highway was recorded for the album, but was later rejected. In late February, the first configuration of the album was compiled (see below). Violet Blue was later recorded, in October 1986.

Prince worked on overdubs and mixing in November 1986, with an album sequence compiled on 6 November 1986, and no further work is known to have been done on the album.


Promotion

The album produced three singles, Mia Bocca, G-Spot and For Love, but it failed to chart.
