Yes (originally titled Lisa) is the fourth track (the first of two instrumentals) on The Family's first and only album The Family, and, a month before the album's release, it was included as the b-side of The Screams Of Passion, the album's first single. The song was written by Prince and Eric Leeds, but credited to Jellybean Johnson and Jerome Benton. Initial tracking, as Lisa (most likely named after Lisa Coleman), took place on 8 October, 1984 at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA (the day before Condition Of The Heart). Eric Leeds added saxophone overdubs soon after, although a recording date and location are not confirmed. It is likely the track's name was changed when considered for the album, but this is unverified. The track is entirely unrelated to the 1980 unreleased track Lisa (also named after Lisa Coleman).
