− | + | Basic tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in late 1995 or early 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota. It is very possible the track was recorded in 1993-4, though, based on the use of the sampled phrase "Dead like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley Elvis]" by [[Ninety-9]] from her song [[Stained Glass]] ([[Prince]] used other sampled phrases by [[Ninety-9]] on [[Space]] and [[Days Of Wild]], and from the very same song on [[Love Sign]], all recorded in 1993-4, although samples also appear on [[The Good Life|The Good Life (Bullets Go Bang Remix)]] and [[Right Back Here In My Arms]], possibly recorded later). Remixes for the [[Single: Face Down|Face Down]] single were likely recorded in late 1996. | |
The song furthermore seems to sample the [[Clare Fischer]] orchestration for the unreleased ([[Jill Jones]] song) [[Killin' At The Soda Shop]]. | The song furthermore seems to sample the [[Clare Fischer]] orchestration for the unreleased ([[Jill Jones]] song) [[Killin' At The Soda Shop]]. | ||
