It was released in 2020 on the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times Deluxe|Sign O’ The Times ''Super Deluxe Edition'']] set, and was made available seven weeks beforehand as the album’s third pre-release download. |
− | + | The song is recorded with the sped up [[Alias: Camille|Camille]] voice, and while this is unconfirmed, it’s possible the song was initially considered for [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], but never made it on a configuration, because a week later [[Prince]] recorded [[Play In The Sunshine]], which has a similar feel, and perhaps works better on the collection of songs that ultimately became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] | |
+ | |||
+ | It was sent to [[Clare Fischer]] for an orchestral treatment in early December 1986, after the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] 3LP was already pared down to [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] and finalized, indicating that at that point [[Prince]] no longer considered it for inclusion. The standalone [[Clare Fischer|Fischer]] orchestration was later re-used to create [[Intermission]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The early version of the song (without [[Clare Fischer]]’s arrangement) was released in September 2020 as the third track of ''Vault Tracks part 3'', one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times Deluxe|Sign O’ The Times ''Super Deluxe Edition'']]. | ||
