The Flesh is an unreleased EP by The Flesh (essentially made up of Prince and Eric Leeds, as a precursor to Madhouse, with other musicians on three of the four tracks).

The tracks included were all jazz-funk instrumentals, and were mostly improvised during the sessions. Eric Leeds was featured prominently, and the plan was to not include mention of Prince’s input upon the EP’s release (as was the case with the later Madhouse albums).

None of the tracks from the EP have been released, although 30 seconds of Junk Music can be heard in Under The Cherry Moon, in the scene where Christopher Tracy races against Mary Sharon on the horse race track.
Sessions and compiling The were a couple of different tracking sessions at Sunset Sound - Studio 3 in Hollywood, California, that yielded material for The Flesh. First on [Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 26
