[[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. <br> | [[Sex Shooter]] was originally planned for a [[Album: Vanity 6 (1984)|second album]] by [[Vanity 6]].
