It was re-recorded again on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April_1|1 April 1982]], at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, which is the version featured here. This version was worked on further in 1986 and was submitted to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson Michael Jackson] for use on his album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_(album) Bad], when it did not get included on Jackson;s album [[Prince]] offered it to [[Taja Sevelle]], who for her version simply replaced [[Prince]]'s own vocals.
