[[Prince]] recorded seven songs for for potential inclusion on the album in September 1992: [[The Halls Of Desire]], [[Uncle Sam]] (with a rap written by Paula Sherield), [[Paris 1798430]], [[Shhh]], [[Down]], [[The P]] and [[Baby Don’t Care|Holly Don’t Care]]. | ||

+ | Only [[The Halls Of Desire]], [[Uncle Sam]], [[Paris 1798430]] and [[Shhh]] were kept for '''I'm Ready'''. Three of the four tracks (but none of the other tracks on the album) are preceded by ''Interludes'' which introduce the songs - given [[Prince]]’s heavy use of segues and interludes during this time, it would be logical to assume that he was involved, but a [[Paisley Park Studios]] in-house cassette of the tracks suggests that this was not the case. | ||
