Four and a half months after the album’s release, the track was included as the b-side of [[Single: Shake!|Shake!]], the album’s fifth and final single (and first and only by [[The Time]]). A performance of the track was shot for the movie [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] but not kept on the final cut. |
While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in early April 1987 at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that produced [[So Strong]], shortly before departing for Europe for [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] rehearsals). Along with [[So Strong]], it was sent to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Bozzio Dale Bozzio] for possible inclusion on her album [[Album: Riot In English|Riot In English]], but the track was rejected. | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in early April 1987 at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions that produced [[So Strong]], shortly before departing for Europe for [[Sign O’ The Times Tour]] rehearsals).

− | In | + | In July or August 1989, [[Morris Day]] recorded co-lead vocal overdubs at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota as [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day|Day]] worked on [[The Time]]’s [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] album (during the same sessions that produced [[Murph Drag]], [[Nine Lives]], [[Donald Trump (Black Version)]], [[Love Machine]], [[Shake!]], [[Corporate World]] and [[Release It]]). |
− | + | [[Candy Dulfer]] added saxophone to the track at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in late July 1989 (along with saxophone overdubs on [[Love Machine]], [[My Summertime Thang]], [[Release It]], [[Murph Drag]], [[Donald Trump (Black Version)]], [[Data Bank]] and [[My Baby Knows]]). The song was included as the eighth track on the [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] album in early September 1989, as planned for release in November 1989. The album was abandoned when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] wanted to involve the other original members of [[The Time]], but many of the tracks were saved for [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]] and [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. | |
The [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] version of '''The Latest Fashion''' used completely different music to the [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] version. The song was heavily reworked (most likely solely by [[Prince]]) and reuses the music from [[My Summertime Thang]] (also intended for release on [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] and finally included on [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]]). Parts of [[Morris Day]]’s vocals (as well the crowd noise) from the versions intended for the [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] album of '''The Latest Fashion''' and (the longer version of) [[My Summertime Thang]] were also used to create a 'duet' with [[Prince]]. | The [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] version of '''The Latest Fashion''' used completely different music to the [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] version.
