− | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October_6|6 October 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota (during two days off from the [[Lovesexy Tour]], between shows in [[05_October 1988|Toronto, ON, Canada]] and [[08_October 1988|Hampton, VA, USA]], on the same day as [[Still Would Stand All Time]]). This version contained different verses to the released version, but contains the same chorus. It was initially included on a configuration of the [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]] album, dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 27|27 October 1988]], but was removed for the late 1988 - early 1989 configuration. It was included as the fourth track on a late 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. It is likely that further work was done on the track in late 1989 or early 1990, when the track in its released form switched places with [[The Question Of U]] to become the fifth track on a 1990 configuration of the album, where it remained for release. | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October_6|6 October 1988]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during two days off from the [[Lovesexy Tour]], between shows in [[05_October 1988|Toronto, ON, Canada]] and [[08_October 1988|Hampton, VA, USA]], on the same day as [[Still Would Stand All Time]]).
