Go is an unreleased track recorded in early August 1985, at the Washington Avenue Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA, with only Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman (during the same set of sessions as Splash, Empty Room, Sexual Suicide and My Sex). Prince worked on the track further in late October 1985, when bandmembers arrived in France for the America video shoot, although it was worked on in rehearsal, rather than in the studio (and so is not listed below).
Engineer Susan Rogers noted that Prince put a lot of time and effort into the track, and must have been seriously considering it for release, although it was not included on any known configuration of Parade or any other project. It is likely that the song was considered for the announced Prince and the Revolution album Roadhouse Garden in 1998/1999, but this is speculative. The track remains unreleased.
