Unlike some other songs of [[The Flesh]] session, it was not included on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 22|22 January 1986]] configuration of [[Album: The Flesh (1986)|The Flesh]] EP, which was ultimately abandoned. The track has the sound of an audience dubbed onto it throughout the track, to make it sound as if it were a live recording. | ||
