First Time I Saw U is an unreleased song by Prince and his father John L. Nelson. While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking likely recorded in late June 1985, at the Washington Avenue Warehouse in Edina, Minnesota (around the same time or on the same day as Don’t Play With Love).
It is unknown if the recording session was intended to produce material for release, or simply a personal family time. Information will be added if it becomes available.
