In 1988, it was included as the b-side of [[Single: 13|13]], the second and final single from [[Madhouse]]’s second and final album [[Album: 16|16]]. '''Four''' was written and produced by [[Prince]] (credited only to [[Madhouse]]), with saxophone and musical input by [[Eric Leeds]]. No musician is credited on the record. |
− | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 29|29 September 1986]] at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (the day after [[Baby Doll House]], [[One]] and [[Two]], the same day as [[Three]] and [[Five]], the day before [[Six]] and [[Seven]]), although it is credited as being recorded at "Madhouse Studios", Pittsburgh, PA, USA (a fictional studio). It is likely that the title was assigned only after the final sequence had been arranged for the album. The track was often performed as an instrumental portion of the song [[The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker]] in live shows. | |
