|introduction              = '''Dos''' a.k.a '''Instrumental II''' a.k.a '''18''' is an unreleased instrumental recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_26|26 June 1988]], during a one-day session between [[Prince]] and [[Sheila E.]], ostensibly for a projected album by [[Madhouse]]. The number 18 was seemingly just associated to it as a logical continuation following 1-8 and 9-16 on Madhouse’s first two albums. It is however otherwise completely unrelated to the song [[18 (R U Legal Yet?)]] recorded later in 1988.

Today’s session also yielded [[Uno]] (a.k.a. “Instrumental I” a.k.a. “17”), [[Tres]] (a.k.a. “Instrumental III” a.k.a. “19”) and [[Cape Horn|“Instrumental IV” a.k.a. “20”]], later re-worked and released as [[Cape Horn]]). It is unknown if this track or any other one from this session was seriously considered for the planned third [[Madhouse]] album, later known as [[Album: 24 (1989)|24]]. When work on that projected album continued in December 1988, new songs were recorded using the titles [[17 (Penetration)]], [[18 (R U Legal Yet?)]], [[19 (Jailbait)]] and [[20 (A Girl And Her Puppy)]].
