It’s also the second and last album to be credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]]. It was released worldwide in October 1992 (twelve months after his previous album [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]]), and would be his last to be co-credited to a band until [[Album: One Nite Alone... Live!|One Nite Alone... Live!]], by [[Prince and the New Power Generation]], in 2002. |
− | The | + | The album’s unpronounceable name, [[File:SymbolSmaller.png]], often leads to the album being referred to as ''Symbol'' or ''Love Symbol'' (''Love Symbol'' was used as the identifying name on the top seal of the jewel case CD release and on the [[Single: Peach|Peach]] single, which included [[My Name Is Prince]] as a b-side). [[File:SymbolSmaller.png]] would later become [[Prince]]’s name, in 1993, and he would go on to release six albums under that name (from 1995-1999). |

The rest of the album’s 16 songs were written and recorded between September 1991, and March 1992 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Wanna Melt With U]][[Eye Wanna Melt With U| Wanna Melt With U]] was the final track recorded for the album in Spring 1992. The only exception is [[Blue Light]] which was recorded earlier, in May 1991. |

Two early configurations of the album are known (see [[#Quotations and trivia|below]] for details), which contained additional segues to more fully explain the story of the album; these were removed from the final sequence to include [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Wanna Melt With U]][[Eye Wanna Melt With U| Wanna Melt With U]] instead. |
The album featured the same band as [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] with a few minor changes. [[Rosie Gaines]] had left the band, and [[Mayte]] was introduced, adding vocals to a few tracks; additionally, D.J. Graves added scratching to some tracks, but he was not considered a member of the band. | The album featured the same band as [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] with a few minor changes.

[[Single: Blue Light|Blue Light]], [[Single: Sweet Baby|Sweet Baby]] and [[Single: Love 2 The 9’s|Love 2 The 9’s]] were also planned as singles in early 1993, and acetates were made up for each single, but they were left unreleased, and [[Single: The Morning Papers|The Morning Papers]] was released instead. |
