* [[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the albums release date in June 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs. They were played live together at a [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984 birthday show]], but were initially worked on in the studio as separate tracks. [[Our Destiny]] was recorded by [[Prince]] alone in early June 1984. But the version here uses the basic tracks recorded on [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984]], albeit seemingly overdubbed so extensively that elements of the live version are very hard to distinguish. Overdubs, including a string and horn section on [[Our Destiny]] were done at [[Sunset Sound]] in September 1984, when the lead vox by [[Lisa Coleman]] was also recorded. The version of [[Roadhouse Garden]] used here was cut from scratch in the [[Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse]] studio in June and was among the first songs recorded there. | * [[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the albums release date in June 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs.
