Although [[Dez Dickerson]] has once said he believed The Rebels' "album" was never more than an incentive for the band rather than a real album idea, it is still probable that the sessions were intended to produce an album for the group. [[Matt Fink]] said in an interview that [[Prince]] told his band: “We're going to Colorado and I want to make another record with you guys. I'm going to create a separate group." [[Prince]]'s cousin, [[Charles "Chazz" Smith]] (who was still close to some band members at that time), said that [[Prince]] went as far as envisioning the cover of the album which was going to be "the silhouettes of the faces of the group, just the shapes of their heads and no faces, so no one could see who it was". In a later interview, [[Dez Dickerson]] also confirmed that there were talks about a cover for the album. | Although [[Dez Dickerson]] has once said he believed The Rebels' "album" was never more than an incentive for the band rather than a real album idea, it is still probable that the sessions were intended to produce an album for the group.

− | With The Rebels project, [[Prince]] eased some tension by allowing [[Andre Cymone]] and [[Dez Dickerson]] to write and record their own songs. The studio in Boulder, Colorado, was chosen by Perry Jones (who worked for [[Bob Cavallo]] and [[Joe Ruffalo]] at that time), because he had connections with the studio management. The sessions were engineered [[Bob Mockler]], whom [[Prince]] met during the recording of his [[Album: Prince|second album]]. | + | With The Rebels project, [[Prince]] eased some tension by allowing [[Andre Cymone]] and [[Dez Dickerson]] to write and record their own songs.

Nine songs including two instrumentals were recorded during these sessions: [[Dez Dickerson]] wrote [[Too Long]] and [[Disco Away]] on which he also sings lead, and one of the [[Instrumental-Rebels 1|untitled instrumentals]]. [[Andre Cymone]] wrote [[Thrill You Or Kill You]], which was already demoed by him 5 months earlier and the other [[Instrumental-Rebels 2|instrumental]]. [[Prince]] contributed four songs for the project, three of which were sung by [[Gayle Chapman]] ([[U|You]], [[If I Love U 2 Nite|If I Love You Tonight]] and [[The Loser]]). The fourth song, [[Hard To Get]] was sung by him and [[Andre Cymone]]. Most of [[The Rebels]]' music was more rock and guitar-oriented than [[Prince]]'s first two albums, showing [[Dez Dickerson]]'s influence. | Nine songs including two instrumentals were recorded during these sessions: [[Dez Dickerson]] wrote [[Too Long]] and [[Disco Away]] on which he also sings lead, and one of the [[Instrumental-Rebels 1|untitled instrumentals]].
