Original tracking of this song was at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota, most likely on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 20|20 November 1990]] after midnight, continuing the session tracking [[Diamonds And Pearls]]. The original recording was over 7 and a half minutes long, and did not yet feature [[Tony M.]]’s rap. An edit of this version, made its way to the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 27|27 November 1990]] configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] as the tenth track. | |||
The song was worked on further in early December, when [[Prince]] added rapped the lyrics from the pre-existing [[The Flow]] (recorded as a stand alone track on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 11|11 September 1990]]), and incorporating a bassline that would later be included on the released 1992 version of [[The Flow]]. This different 7:30 ‘Early Version’ with [[Prince]]’s [[The Flow]] rap was featured on the early December 1990 configuration of the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album, and was released on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 28|28 September 2023]] as '''Live 4 Love (Early Version)''', as a preview for the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls SuperDeluxe| Diamonds And Pearls ''Super Deluxe Edition'']], where it was featured as the ninth track of ''Vault Tracks part 1'', one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the box-set. | |||
After further work and replacing the [[The Flow]] rap with something [[Tony M.]] came up with specifically for the song, it became the final track on a January 1991 configuration. It continued its life as the last track on the subsequent [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1991]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]] configurations, and remained there for the released version of the album. | After further work and replacing the [[The Flow]] rap with something [[Tony M.]] came up with specifically for the song, it became the final track on a January 1991 configuration.
