− | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in early June 1993 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that produced [[Space]], [[Pope]], [[Strays Of The World]], [[What's My Name]], [[Solo]] and a reworked version of [[Race]]). [[Rain Ivana]]'s "NPG Operator" intros were likely added in late 1993 or early 1994 as the concept developed. The track was included as the third track on an untitled early-1994 album (likely an early configuration of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]]). It was then included as the second track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 11|11 March 1994]] configuration of the [[Album: Come|Come]] album (credited to [[Prince]] instead of [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). Also in March 1994, however, it was included as the second track (first song) on a new configuration of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] (the "NPG Operator" segues included on the [[CD_Rom:_Interactive|Interactive]] CD-ROM game version were tracked separately as the first and third track on this configuration), and the full-length version was then used as the second track (first song) on a May 1994 configuration (with the segues again included as the first and third tracks). It was removed for a Summer 1994 configuration (presumably as it was now released on the [[CD_Rom:_Interactive|Interactive]] CD-ROM game). | + | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in early June 1993 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that produced [[Space]], [[Pope]], [[Strays Of The World]], [[What's My Name]], [[Solo]] and a reworked version of [[Race]]).
