The track was removed when the album was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O' The Times|Sign O' The Times]]. | + | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 28|28 October 1986]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (the day after a re-recording of [[Feel U Up]], the same day as [[Rebirth Of The Flesh]], two days before [[Good Love]]).
