− | While specific recording dates for [[17 Days]] are not known, it was initially recorded at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in August 1983, likely a couple of days after [[Let’s Go Crazy]] and [[Computer Blue]], with [[Brenda Bennett]] on vocals. By this time [[Vanity]] had just left the [[Prince]] camp and [[Apollonia]] was yet to be cast as her replacement. So it was never really intended for either [[Vanity 6]] or [[Apollonia 6]], but perhaps [[Prince]] had a solo project with [[Brenda Bennett]] in mind. | + | While specific recording dates for [[17 Days]] are not known, it was initially recorded at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in August 1983, likely a couple of days after [[Let’s Go Crazy]] and [[Computer Blue]], with [[Brenda Bennett]] on vocals.

+ | The song was later re-recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 8|8 January 1984]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (three days after [[Oliver’s House]]) with [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]] providing some background vocals and worked on further in March. While the [[Single: When Doves Cry|When Doves Cry]] single was credited only to [[Prince]], [[17 Days]] was credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]], marking it the earliest release of a track containing this credit. In 2000, a fan asked on [https://princeonlinemuseum.com/npgonlineltd/news/ask/01.html NPGonlineltd] "Who is singing the backup on '''17 Days''', especially near the very end vamp? It doesn't sound like [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] or [[Lisa Coleman|Lisa]]." [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] replied : "[[Brenda Bennett|BRENDA BENNETT]]". Her contribution is not credited and may come from her own version. | ||
