| |introduction = '''Electric Intercourse''' is an unreleased song possibly recorded in the spring of 1983. A live version of it was recorded on [[03_August 1983|3 August 1983]] at [[First Avenue]], Minneapolis, MN, USA (during the same concert where live versions of [[Let's Go Crazy]], [[Computer Blue]], [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I'm A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]] were also recorded).
| |
|
| |
| [[Prince]] used this live version when adding overdubs to the track in mid-September 1983 at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA. It is likely the track was originally planned to be included on the album [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] (and in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]) as either the 'studio version' or in the same overdubbed-live format as [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I'm A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]]. A few days after recording overdubs however, [[Prince]] recorded [[The Beautiful Ones]], which replaced '''Electric Intercourse'''.
| |
|
| |
| Although the studio recording is a solo performance by [[Prince]] it is listed here as a [[Prince and the Revolution]] recording as this is how it would have been credited upon release on the [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] album.
| |
|
| |
| During [[Prince: A Celebration]] in June 2000, computer screens at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on [[Album: Crystal Ball Volume II|Crystal Ball Volume II]], and while '''Electric Intercourse''' was chosen by fans, the project was ultimately abandoned.
