In 1992, it was included as the second track on the UK 12" single of [[Single: Thunder|Thunder]], the album’s sixth and final single (the track had not been included on UK versions of the [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]] single). A video of the track was included as the third track on the [[Home Video: Gett Off|Gett Off]] home video. |
Specific recording dates are not known, but as the track borrows heavily from the music of [[Gett Off]] (recorded [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 10|10 May 1991]]), it is likely that the track was recorded in early Summer 1991. A video of the track was included on the [[Home Video: Gett Off |Gett Off]] video maxi-single. An edited version was later included on [[NPG Ahdio Show 5|NPG Ahdio Show # 5]] in 2001 - since this version was not musically different, and was not available as a separate track, it is not included in the listings below. | Specific recording dates are not known, but as the track borrows heavily from the music of [[Gett Off]] (recorded [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 10|10 May 1991]]), it is likely that the track was recorded in early Summer 1991.
