The song was written by [[Prince]], but credited to [[Paul Peterson|St. Paul Peterson]]. |
+ | |||
+ | Basic tracking of this track, initially as an instrumental with the working title '''Ecstasy''', took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_27|27 June 1984]] at the [[Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse]] in Eden Prairie, MN, USA (five days after recording [[Susannah’s Pajamas|Mazarati]] – later renamed [[Susannah’s Pajamas]], on the same day [[High Fashion]] and [[Mutiny]]). | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Paul Peterson|St. Paul Peterson]] and [[Susannah Melvoin]] overdubbed vocals onto the track in late 1984 - early 1985, and [[Clare Fischer]] added orchestral overdubs during the same period. Saxophone overdubs by [[Eric Leeds]] were recorded a few days later, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_2|2 July 1984]]. It was the first song written by [[Prince]] that [[Eric Leeds]] worked on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Phrases from the track were later used by [[Eric Leeds]] on his track '''Aguadilla''' on his 1993 album ''Things Left Unsaid'', and co-writing credit was given to [[Prince]] as a result, but [[Prince]] was otherwise not directly involved in the track. An earlier version of '''Aguadilla''', titled '''Portofino''', was considered for the [[Album: Times Squared|Times Square]] album (supplanted by [[Lines]]), but it is unclear however if it already had the '''Desire''' reference. | ||
