| + | * [[Sex Shooter]] was originally planned for a [[Album: Vanity 6 (1984)|second album]] by [[Vanity 6]]. Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 30|30 April 1983]] at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. [[Vanity]] recorded her vocals on the track, likely in the week following basic tracking, while [[Brenda Bennett]], [[Jill Jones]] and possibly [[Susan Moonsie]] recorded backing vocals on it at a later date. The version here is with [[Prince]]'s guide vocal on it. It was later redone with [[Apollonia]]'s vocals and released on [[Apollonia 6]]'s [[Album: Apollonia 6|eponymous album]] and released as a single with limited chart success. | ||
| + | * [[Jungle Love]] was written by [[Prince]] with [[Jesse Johnson]], who came up with the music. His credit was removed when he left [[The Time]] and the [Prince]]-camp. Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_26|26 March 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. [[Jesse Johnson]], [[Jimmy Jam]] and [[Terry Lewis]] were all present in the studio, but it's unclear of they contributed to the session. The song was released on [[The Time's]] third album [[Album: Ice Cream Castle|Ice Cream Castle]] and as a single with moderate success. | ||
| + | * [[Manic Monday]] was originally intended for [[Apollonia 6]] (as a duet between [[Prince]] and [[Apollonia]]), and was included as the third track on the early configurations of the [[Album: Apollonia 6|Apollonia 6]] album, but was withdrawn from the album prior to release. Basic tracking for [[Prince]]'s original version took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February_4|4 February 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. It was offered to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bangles The Bangles] in April 1985. They re-recorded the song overdubbing most [[Prince]]'s music with their own, but some tracks including [[Brenda Bennett]]'s backing vox van still be heard on the album. It was released on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bangles The Bangles] 1996 album [[Album: A Different Light|A Different Light]] and made a big impact on the charts, reaching number one on some countries when it was released as a single. | ||
| + | * [[Noon Rendezvous]] was written for and with [[Sheila E.]] and tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 13|13 February 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. The song was co-written by [[Prince]] and [[Sheila E.]], although the extend of her contributions are unclear. It appeared as the third track on [[Sheila E.]]'s first album [[Album: The Glamorous Life|The Glamorous Life]], and in was released as the album's third single, which failed to chart. | ||
| + | * [[Make-Up]] is the oldest tracks on this compilation and originally recorded for [[Vanity 6]]. While specific recording dates are unknown <!-- CHECK UPON RELEASE -->, basic tracking took place in Summer 1981 at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It was released as the sixth track on [[Vanity 6]]'s first and only album [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]]. The tracks was included as the b-side of [[Single: He's So Dull|He's So Dull]], the album's third single, and soon after also the b-side of [[Single: Drive Me Wild|Drive Me Wild]], the album's fourth and final single. | ||
| + | * [[100 MPH]] was written and largely performed by [[Prince]]. While specific recording dates are not known <!-- CHECK UPON RELEASE -->, basic tracking probably took place in June 1984 at [[Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse]] in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Although unconfirmed it is thought [[Prince]] created it with [[Mazarati]] in mind, specifically as a replacement for the song [[Susannah's Pajamas]], which had been intended for [[Mazarati]] under its former name [[Susannah's Pajamas|Mazarati]], before [[Prince]] decided it suited [[The Family]] instead. It appeared as the third song on [[Mazarati]]'s first album [[Album: Mazarati|Mazarati]] and was released as the album's second [[Single: 100 MPH|single]]. | ||
| + | * [[You're My Love]] was written by [[Prince]], but when released used the pseudonym [[Joey Coco]], the first time this pseudonym had been used officially. The song was featured as the third track on American country music singer-songwriter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Rogers Kenny Rogers]' album [[Album: They Don't Make Them Like They Used To|They Don't Make Them Like They Used To]], and as s b-side of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Milsap Ronnie Misap] and Kenny Rogers single [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_No_Mistake,_He%27s_Mine#Ronnie_Milsap_and_Kenny_Rogers_recording Make No Mistake, She's Mine]. Although exact recording dates are not known <!-- CHECK UPON RELEASE -->, basic tracking for [[Prince]]'s original version took place in Spring-Summer 1982 at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]]. which is the version on this release. [[Clare Fischer]] added orchestral overdubs in May 1986, by which time the song was attributed to [[Prince and the Revolution]], but Kenny Rogers and his band re-recorded the song in 1986 and the Kenny Rogers version contains no musical input by [[Prince]] or [[Clare Fischer]]. | ||
