It was included as the ninth track on a 11 March 1994 configuration of the Come album. The album version begins with a segment of Poem which was edited out when the track became Orgasm (Pheromone, Race and Letitgo include other segments in their opening seconds).
Recording/remixing dates for So Dark are not known, but it is likely remixed in early-mid 1994 at Paisley Park Studios.
