Love And Sex is an unreleased track recorded on 25 March 1986 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (two days after Boy’s Club). The song was intended for Sheila E.’s third album Sheila E., but was not included on the final release.
Prince had previously used the title for an otherwise-unrelated 1984 recording; see Love And Sex for details of that track. During Prince: A Celebration in June 2000, computer screens at Paisley Park Studios offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on Crystal Ball Volume II, and while Love And Sex was chosen by fans, the project was ultimately abandoned. It is unlikely that the Sheila E. recording listed here was the one selected for Crystal Ball Volume II, since it was sung by Sheila E., so it is assumed that the 1984 recording was the one mentioned.
