The acoustic version of the track is believed to have been recorded in Autumn 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] (along with the rest of the album). [[Single: The Holy River|The Holy River]] cassette single states that '''Welcome 2 The Dawn (Acoustic Version)''' is from the "4thcoming album [[Album: The Dawn|The Dawn]]" - the time of the single’s release coincides with the originally planned release of [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]], however, so it is likely that [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] was, at one point, titled '''The Dawn''' (a name [[Prince]] has used at various points), or, more likely, the packaging’s information meant that the non-acoustic version of '''Welcome 2 The Dawn''' was from [[Album: The Dawn|The Dawn]], an album which remains unreleased. This is supported by the fact that, despite [[Album: The Truth|The Truth]] being billed as an "acoustic album", '''Welcome 2 The Dawn''' is the only track to receive the tagline “'''(Acoustic Version)'''”. | ||
