|introduction              = '''Poorgoo''' was initially released (in a rehearsal version) as the second track on [[Prince]]’s 1995 VHS release [[Home Video: The Undertaker|The Undertaker]]. In 2001, the same recording of the track (although this time credited to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]), was released on mp3 as part of [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_11|NPG Music Club Edition # 11]], with an accompanying .mov video taken directly from [[Home Video: The Undertaker|The Undertaker]] (on the same day as [[Gett Off|Gett Off (Live)]] and the promotional video of [[Video: Dolphin|Dolphin]]).

The released version was recorded as part of the session for the aborted [[Album: The Undertaker|The Undertaker]] album on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_14|14 June 1993]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (along with versions of [[The Ride]], [[Honky Tonk-Woman]], [[Bambi]], [[Zannalee]], [[The Undertaker]] and [[Dolphin]], the day before recording [[Calhoun Square]]). It is unclear if a studio version by [[Prince]]/[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] exists. It was placed (as '''Poor Goo''') on a [[Album: Playtime By Versace|Playtime By Versace]] project in mid-1995, but that was a live version recorded in London England, presumably at the Emporium on [[23_March_1995-am|23 March 1995 (a.m.)]], the only time is was played live in 1995.
