Six weeks before the album’s release, the track was released for download as a preview of the album. |
| − | [[ | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January_14|14 January 1983]] in Sunset Sound, Hollywood, California. |
| − | + | A live version was recorded seven months later on [[03_August 1983|3 August 1983]] at [[First Avenue]] in Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same concert where live versions of [[Let’s Go Crazy]], [[Computer Blue]], [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I’m A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]] were also recorded). [[Prince]] used this live version when adding overdubs to the track in mid-September 1983 at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. | |
| − | + | It is likely the track was originally planned to be included on the album [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] (and in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]) as either the ’studio version' or in the same overdubbed-live format as [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I’m A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]]. A few days after recording overdubs however, [[Prince]] recorded [[The Beautiful Ones]], which replaced '''Electric Intercourse'''. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | During [[Prince: A Celebration]] in June 2000, computer screens at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on [[Album: Crystal Ball Volume II|Crystal Ball Volume II]], and while '''Electric Intercourse''' was chosen by fans, the project was ultimately abandoned. | |
