Junk Music is an unreleased instrumental recorded on 5 January 1986 during the so-called "Everybody's Jam" seven-hour session (that also produced Groove In C Minor, Groove In G Flat Minor, Slow Groove In G Major, Up From Below and Y'All Want Some More?) at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. During the session, Prince primarily played drums.
The full length of this recording was over 60 minutes. An edited version of the track was included as the first track on the 22 January 1986 configuration of The Flesh album, to be credited to The Flesh (taking up the entire first side of the proposed vinyl release), which was ultimately abandoned.
30 seconds of the track was included as background music on Under The Cherry Moon, in the scene where Christopher Tracy races against Mary Sharon on the horse race track.
