'''A Case Of You''') is the fourth track on [[Prince]]’s 25th album [[Album: One Nite Alone...|One Nite Alone...]], but four months before the album’s release, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 17|17 January 2002]], the track was released as an mp3 as part of [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_12|NPG Music Club Edition # 12]], the final edition of the first year of the [[NPG Music Club]]. The track is a cover version of the 1971 track '''A Case Of You''' by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell Joni Mitchell] (written by Joni Mitchell, from her album [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_(Joni_Mitchell_album) Blue]), although the first and third verses are omitted in [[Prince]]’s version. Interestingly, during his live renditions of this song from 1983 until his penultimate show in 2016, [[Prince]] also sang only the second verse and the chorus. In 2007, a slightly edited version (removing the final coda) was included as the sixth track on the compilation album [[Album: A Tribute To Joni Mitchell|A Tribute To Joni Mitchell]] (using the original title, '''A Case Of You'''). | ||

Specific recording dates are unknown, but it is believed that basic tracking took place in Spring 2001 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (along with the rest of the [[Album: One Nite Alone...|One Nite Alone...]] album), during the mastering of [[Album: The Rainbow Children|The Rainbow Children]] album. [[Prince]] first performed the song in 1983, however (at the [[03 August 1983|3 August 1983, First Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota]] concert where [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I’m A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]] were recorded), so [[Prince]] may have recorded another studio version at an earlier date. | |||
