The track reuses a melody from the unreleased 1985 instrumental [[Madrid]]. In August and September 1989, [[Prince]] asked [[Eric Leeds]] to compile tracks from the vault for a third [[Madhouse]] album. This track was one of ten selected, and in keeping with previous [[Madhouse]] releases tracks were given tentative numerical titles of [[Andorra|17]] to [[Once Upon A Time|26]] (the album would be titled [[Album: Times Squared|26]]) - this track was given the title of '''17''' as the first track on the album at the time. When [[Prince]] suggested the album should be released as a solo album by [[Eric Leeds]], Leeds came up with titles for each track, in Spring 1990; this track became known as '''Andorra''' and the album became known as [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]]. |
Musically, this track is entirely unrelated to the released [[Madhouse]] track [[17]], although both feature [[Eric Leeds]] and were intended as the first track of their respective [[Madhouse]] albums. | Musically, this track is entirely unrelated to the released [[Madhouse]] track [[17]], although both feature [[Eric Leeds]] and were intended as the first track of their respective [[Madhouse]] albums. | ||
