[[Strange Relationship]], [[Teacher, Teacher]] and [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] were the earliest recordings included on the album, originally recorded in Summer 1982. [[Dream Factory]] was recorded in December 1985, but [[Prince]] hadn't yet decided on the album, as he was unsure of how he would proceed following [[Album: Parade|Parade]], which was not yet released. By January 1986, however, [[Prince]] proceeded with further work on an album, recording [[Last Heart]] and [[Wonderful Day]]. | [[Strange Relationship]], [[Teacher, Teacher]] and [[I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man]] were the earliest recordings included on the album, originally recorded in Summer 1982.

A tentative configuration of the '''Dream Factory''' album was compiled in late April 1986, containing eleven tracks. Work continued in early May, however, with the recording of [[In A Large Room With No Light]] and [[It]], and a new double LP configuration containing 19 tracks was compiled, dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_3|3 June 1986]]. The album was mastered in early June, but [[Prince]] still didn't consider it a final version, and continued work on the album. [[Slow Love]] was recorded the following day. By mid-June, [[Prince]] was considering working on a Broadway musical, possibly also called [[Musical: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]], and it is possible that there was some overlap between the projects, but the musical was ultimately abandoned. | A tentative configuration of the '''Dream Factory''' album was compiled in late April 1986, containing eleven tracks.
