One of the tracks from that album, [[When 2 R In Love]], recorded in October 1987, was kept for inclusion on '''Lovesexy''', and the remaining eight tracks were recorded in the following two months. [[File:Eye88.png|link=Eye No]][[Eye No| No]], [[Dance On]] and [[Positivity]] were recorded in mid-December 1987. |
Also recorded in mid December was [[Luv Sexy]], an early version of [[Lovesexy]] with the same hook-line but faster in pace, in a different key and with mostly different lyrics. It was not used for the album but [[Prince]] borrowed parts from it for [[Lovesexy]] that was done in late January 1988. | Also recorded in mid December was [[Luv Sexy]], an early version of [[Lovesexy]] with the same hook-line but faster in pace, in a different key and with mostly different lyrics.

Possibly with its 'predecessor', the ill-fated untitled [[Album: The Black Album|''“The Black Album”'']] in mind it was made without an artist or title presented. |
The album now had eight songs, omitting [[The Line]] from its earlier configuration. All four tracks on side A, as well as [[Dance On]] and [[When 2 R In Love]] were now edited as on the released version, although the mix was possibly slightly different still on some. [[Luv Sexy]] was the penultimate track on the album, with [[Positivity]] still with the "Music Is The Key" rap included. [[I Wish U Heaven]] was yet to be recorded and therefore not on this configuration. | The album now had eight songs, omitting [[The Line]] from its earlier configuration.
