Paisley Park is an unreleased instumental song recorded on 9 March, 1984 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. Appart from its title the song has no relation with the song Paisley Park that was released on Around The World In A Day. It features drums, bass and a keyboard patternen from the Yamaha DX-7 synth. Throughout the song this groove is played over a bed of the sound of children playing, taken from a sound library collection. It slightly foreshadows the children playing in the video made for Paisley Park, but this song is thought to be otherwise unrelated to the released song Paisley Park.
The song was briefly placed on an early configuration of The Family, but remains unreleased.
Paisley Park became the name of Prince's recording studio complex, Paisley Park Studios, when it opened in 1987. Prince had previously used the term "Paisley Park" to refer to the recording facility at Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse in Eden Prarie, MN. It was also used as the name of his record label, Paisley Park Records, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. from 1985 to 1993.
