It is not known if it was planned to be released in conjunction with [[Jill Jones]]' appearance in the movie [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]].

Eleven songs were recorded ("Deep Kiss", "Living Legend", "Long Time", "White", "Some Of Us", "Red", "Tango", "Ecstasy", "Revolutionary", "Sweet Liberty" and "Unattainable Love") and submitted by [[Jill Jones|Jill]] to [[Prince]] before being shelved. | The project began in Autumn 1988 when [[Jill Jones]] went to London, England to work on a collection of songs with musician Chris Bruce.
