* [[Electric Intercourse]] (attributed here as “Studio Version,” presumably to distinguish it from a much bootlegged live/rehearsal version) was originally recorded in July 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 July 1983.

− | * [[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the album’s 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. | + | * [[Our Destiny]] and [[Roadhouse Garden]], segued together as one track were never considered for [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], as the album’s release date in June 1984 conflicts with the recording of these songs.

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]] (who is not credited for singing lead on the version here) 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. |
− | * [[Possessed]] is the version recorded in March 1984 | + | * [[Possessed]] is the version recorded in March 1984 at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California. Part of this 1984 version can be heard as an instrumental in the movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]. An earlier version was recorded in 1983 at [[The Warehouse]] in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The track on this release is incorrectly attributed to be the 1983 version. |
* [[Wonderful Ass]] dates from November 1982 and was recorded at [[Prince]]’s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen. The song was written about [[Vanity]] and while it may have been considered for the movie at some point, it never made it to any configuration, possibly in part due to the fact [[Vanity]] left the [[Prince]] camp and would no longer be in the movie. The liner notes attribute this song as being from September 1984, but this seems to indicate the time [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] & [[Lisa Coleman|Lisa]] recorded overdubs onto the song. | * [[Wonderful Ass]] dates from November 1982 and was recorded at [[Prince]]’s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen.
