Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 17|17 April 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (the day after basic tracking of [[If The Kid Can’t Make You Come]], the day before [[Prince]] fired [[Jimmy Jam]] and [[Terry Lewis]] from [[The Time]], and three days before recording [[Velvet Kitty Cat]]). The track features [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]], but they are not credited on the released version, despite their contributions remaining intact. | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 17|17 April 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (the day after basic tracking of [[If The Kid Can’t Make You Come]], the day before [[Prince]] fired [[Jimmy Jam]] and [[Terry Lewis]] from [[The Time]], and three days before recording [[Velvet Kitty Cat]]).
