The recording features only [[Prince]], [[Lisa Coleman]] (on piano) and [[Wendy Melvoin]] (on guitar). [[Clare Fischer]] arranged and recorded orchestration for the song at some point in late 1985 at Monterey Sound Studios in Glendale, California, but [[Prince]] preferred the song without orchestration, and chose to use the track without orchestration for the final release. The version with Fischer orchestration was used in the movie [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]]. 1 minute and 18 seconds can be heard at the end of the film. | ||
