− | |introduction = '''Call Of The Wild''' is an unreleased track recorded in late July 1985 at the [[Washington Avenue Warehouse]] in Edina, Minnesota. [[Susannah Melvoin]] had prompted [[Prince]] to listen to some music by British rock band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin Led Zeppelin], which inspired [[Prince]] to write this heavy rock track. [[Susan Rogers]] and [[Peggy McCreary]] mixed the track in September 1985, when [[Prince]] was considering it for use on [[Album: Parade|Parade]]. It was not included on any known configuration of the album, however, and [[Prince]] may have thought it did not fit musically. The track remains unreleased, but the lyrics and melody of its verses were later re-used in part for the also unreleased [[We Got The Power]]. | + | |introduction = '''Call Of The Wild''' is an unreleased track recorded in late July 1985 at the [[Washington Avenue Warehouse]] in Edina, Minnesota.
