However, rather than a fully developed design this is believed to have been only in the stage of [[Prince]] drawing on the white unmarked sleeve of a test-pressing, much like the 12" to [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]]. The labels of the vinyl would have been the first with the new Paisley Park design and featured the song titles in Prince’s own writing, as well as the name Camille with the C as a crescent moon. And an x instead of the dot on the i. The name [[Prince]] would not have been on the record. |
