Engineer [[Michael Koppelman]] recalled in the liner notes for the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls SuperDeluxe| Diamonds And Pearls ''Super Deluxe Edition'']] that [[Prince]] asked him to play a few instruments on the track, ''"which he never let me do. And he would just make fun of me when I did. And we're doing the mix, but then he literally unmuted my guitar for one half of a bar. I was like, 'Okay! That's my first note on a [[Prince]] song.'"'' |
