The original version titled '''We Can Fuck'' was released (as '''We Can F**k''') as the tenth track on the ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'' disc of the [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe'']] album in June 2017. |
Initial tracking for [[Prince]]'s original version took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 31|31 December 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA, as '''We Can Fuck''' (the day after [[Erotic City]] and [[She's Always In My Hair]]), with additional work the following day, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 1|1 January 1984]]. [[Prince]] later toned down the title and lyrics of the song, and re-recorded the track on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 17|17 June 1986]] at the [[Washington Avenue Warehouse]], Eden Prairie, MN, USA (in sequence after [[Data Bank]] and [[Can't Stop This Feeling I Got]], the day before recording [[Girl O' My Dreams]]). At one point Prince had [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micki_Free Micki Free] fly to Minneapolis to record lead vocals. It is unclear when this took place and to which version the vocals were added. The 1983 recording was returned to and updated in 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, and this updated version, without [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] on vocals, was included as the sixth track on a 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Clinton_(musician) George Clinton] added vocal overdubs in late 1989-1990, also at [[Paisley Park Studios]], and the final version was included as the seventh track on a 1990 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]], where it remained for release. | Initial tracking for [[Prince]]'s original version took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 31|31 December 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA, as '''We Can Fuck''' (the day after [[Erotic City]] and [[She's Always In My Hair]]), with additional work the following day, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 1|1 January 1984]].
