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]]). The track was included as the eighth and final track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 5|5 November 1986]] configuration of the [[Album: Camille|Camille]] album (credited to the pseudonym [[Alias: Camille|Camille]]), which was later aborted. A few weeks later, it was included as the third track on the second disc as the album developed into the triple-album [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration. 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]]).

− | The distinctive horn arrangement/hook was written by Eric Leeds | + | The distinctive horn arrangement/hook was written by [[Eric Leeds]] for an (at that time) unfinished song called '''Pacemaker''', inspired by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Dolphy Eric Dolphy]’s work. This '''Pacemaker''' part was often played live as a horn interpolation in [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]]. A slightly different and faster version of this horn arrangement was also included on [[It’s Gonna Be A Beautiful Night]] from 1987 onwards and [[Housequake]] on the [[Lovesexy Tour]], cued by [[Prince]] shouting 'Kick some ass' and then accumulating in the hook from Duke Ellington’s [[Take The ‘A’ Train]]. [[Eric Leeds]] later recorded a version of '''Pacemaker''' for his second solo album, but was not satisfied with the final result and didn’t include it on ''Things Left Unsaid''. |
