* [[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as “Studio Version,” presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in July 1983. The studio version here appears to be somewhat sparse and seemingly unfinished. A live version of the song was recorded on [[03 August 1983|3 August 1983 at First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, USA]] (during the same concert where overdubbed live versions of [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I'm A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]] featured on [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] were recorded). This live rendition of [[Electric Intercourse]] was also overdubbed in September 1983, a few days prior to [[Prince]] recording [[The Beautiful Ones]], which ultimately replaced [[Electric Intercourse]] on the album. It is likely that [[Prince]] not only chose to replace it because [[The Beautiful Ones]] is arguably a better song, but also because the raw sexual lyrics of [[Electric Intercourse]] fitted (being sung to) the persona of [[Vanity]], but not so much her replacement [[Apollonia]]. | * [[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as “Studio Version,” presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in July 1983.

* [[Possessed]] is presented here as the “1983 version,” but it is in fact the version recorded in March 1984. The 1983 version was recorded with the full band at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in mid 1983, while the version here was a solo-effort by [[Prince]] done at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. part of this 1984 version can be heard as an instrumental in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]. It is unclear why the version here is attributed to be the 1983 version. | * [[Possessed]] is presented here as the “1983 version,” but it is in fact the version recorded in March 1984.

*The last track [[Father's Song]] is an instrumental, the motive of which can be heard as a melody in [[Computer Blue]]. The recording here is a solo recording by [[Prince]] from late October 1983 at [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen. Part of the song can also be heard in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain| Purple Rain]], where [[Prince]]'s character "The Kid" storms in the house looking for his father and finds him playing the song on piano, although that is a different recording. | *The last track [[Father's Song]] is an instrumental, the motive of which can be heard as a melody in [[Computer Blue]].
