In early July 1986, [[Prince]] recorded [[Train]] for the album, and in mid-July, he recorded [[The Cross]] and [[Sign O’ The Times]], and revamped the 1982 track [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] to complete the album. The final double LP configuration containing 18 tracks was compiled on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]]. When [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]] told [[Prince]] they wanted to leave his band in late July, however, the album was abandoned. [[Prince]] instead decided to eliminate most of the [[Prince and the Revolution|Revolution]]’s input on tracks and to expand on the project by incorporating other tracks recorded later in 1986, resulting in the three-disc set [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] (which eventually was pared down to become [[Prince]]’s next officially released album, [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]). | In early July 1986, [[Prince]] recorded [[Train]] for the album, and in mid-July, he recorded [[The Cross]] and [[Sign O’ The Times]], and revamped the 1982 track [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] to complete the album.
