*[[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as 'Studio Version', presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in the spring of 1983. The studio version here appears to be somewhat sparse and seemingly unfinished. A live version of the song was recorded on [[03 August 1983|3 August 1983 at First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, USA]] (during the same concert where overdubbed live versions of [[I Would Die 4 U]], [[Baby I'm A Star]] and [[Purple Rain]] featured on [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]] were recorded). This live rendition of [[Electric Intercourse]] was also overdubbed in September 1983, a few days prior to [[Prince]] recording [[The Beautiful Ones]], which ultimately replaced [[Electric Intercourse]] on the album. It is likely that [[Prince]] not only chose to replace it because [[The Beautiful Ones]] is arguably a better song, but also because the raw sexual lyrics of [[Electric Intercourse]] fitted (being sung to) the persona of [[Vanity]], but not so much her replacement [[Apollonia]]. | *[[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as 'Studio Version', presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in the spring of 1983.

| − | *[[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track | + | *[[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 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]] dates from early June 1984 and [[Roadhouse Garden]] used the basic tracks of [[07 June 1984|7 June 1984]] live version and was worked on later in June. The lead vox on this studio take of [[Our Destiny]] are by [[Lisa Coleman]], but it was also recorded with [[Jill Jones]] singing the lead. |
*[[Possessed]] is presented here as the '1983 version', but it is in fact the version recorded in March 1984. The 1983 version, part of which can be heard as an instrumental in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], was recorded with the full band at the [[St. Louis Park Warehouse|The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota in mid 1983, while the version here was a solo-effort by [[Prince]] done at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. It is unclear why the version here is attributed to be the 1983 version. | *[[Possessed]] is presented here as the '1983 version', but it is in fact the version recorded in March 1984.
