'''Times Squared''' evolved from the planned third [[Madhouse]] album, '''26''', compiled in September 1989 from instrumental tracks recorded between 1985-1988. [[Little Rock]] was recorded in late May 1985 at [[Sunset Sound]], Hollywood, CA, USA. [[Easy Does It]] was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 22|22 July 1986]] at [[Prince]]'s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. [[Andorra]], [[Night Owl]], [[Overnight, Every Night]] and [[Kenya]] were recorded in July 1987 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. | '''Times Squared''' evolved from the planned third [[Madhouse]] album, '''26''', compiled in September 1989 from instrumental tracks recorded between 1985-1988.

In keeping with previous [[Madhouse]] releases tracks were given tentative numerical titles of [[Andorra|17]] to [[Once Upon A Time|26]]. When [[Prince]] suggested the album should be released as a solo album by [[Eric Leeds]], Leeds came up with titles for each track (and recorded a new track, ''Lines'', in Spring 1990, which became the new opening track). ''Lines'' did not contain any input by [[Prince]], and so is not linked below, but interpolations from the track have been played live during shows (see [[Lines]] for details). | In keeping with previous [[Madhouse]] releases tracks were given tentative numerical titles of [[Andorra|17]] to [[Once Upon A Time|26]].
