| |introduction = '''Movie Star''' is the eighth track on the first disc of [[Prince]]'s 20th album [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] (his fourth using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). The album is not clearly divided between [[Prince]] tracks and [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] tracks, and the liner notes' discussion of this track does not use either name, but the recording date places it clearly as a "[[Prince]]" track, so it is listed as such here. The [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] liner notes state that the song was chosen for inclusion because it was "D'Angelo's favorite bootleg". | | |introduction = '''Movie Star''' is the eighth track on the first disc of [[Prince]]'s 20th album [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] (his fourth using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]).

− | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_27|27 March 1986]] at [[Prince]]'s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]], Chanhassen, Minnesota (two days after [[Love And Sex-1|Love And Sex]], on the same day as [[A Place In Heaven]] and [[Witness 4 The Prosecution]]). Although this track was not included on a late April 1986 configuration of the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album, it was included as the seventeenth track (fifteenth song) on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration (segueing directly into [[A Place In Heaven]], which includes the final line of dialogue from [[Movie Star]] in its opening bars) and as the seventeenth track (sixteenth song) on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration (with a complete ending). It was dropped, however, when the project evolved into the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] triple LP (completely separate from the 1998 release of the same name). The [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] liner notes state that the song was written for [[The Time]], although the band was no longer together at the time [[Prince]] recorded the track, and it is unknown if the song was considered for the band when [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day]] began work on the [[Album: Corporate World|Corporate World]] album in 1989. The version released on [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] contains an opening which samples [[Jam Of The Year]] in the background of a party scene. | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_27|27 March 1986]] at [[Prince]]'s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (two days after [[Love And Sex-1|Love And Sex]], on the same day as [[A Place In Heaven]] and [[Witness 4 The Prosecution]]).
