− | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 18|18 September 1991]], at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota, shortly after the release of the [[Single: Cream|Cream]] maxi-single (notable since some of the tracks on the single contain musical elements used also in [[My Name Is Prince]]). The track is essentially a solo recording by [[Prince]], with [[Tony M.]] adding a rap, and a sampled moan by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Basinger Kim Basinger] (uncredited), which was later reused in [[Peach]]. It contains brief repeated samples of [[I Wanna Be Your Lover]], [[Partyup]] and [[Controversy]] before [[Prince]]'s vocals begin. | |
The track was not initially intended for an album, but was added as the second track (first song) on a March 1992, configuration of [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]], displacing [[Sexy M.F.]] as the opening song. It was kept as the second track (first song) on a late Summer configuration, before many of the album's [[Symbol segues|segues]] were removed for release, making '''My Name Is Prince''' the opening track. Remixes by outside producers were made in Summer 1992, for use on the [[Single: My Name Is Prince|My Name Is Prince]] maxi-single. | The track was not initially intended for an album, but was added as the second track (first song) on a March 1992, configuration of [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]], displacing [[Sexy M.F.]] as the opening song.
