− | + | Basic tracking of the studio version of the track with its original title, '''If I Had A Harem''', took place in Spring or early Summer 1988 (likely around May/June). While the released live version contains blues and jazz elements (including horn interpolations of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Hodges Johnny Hodges] & His Orchestra's [[Things Ain't What They Used To Be]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Parker Charlie Parker]'s Re-Bopper's [[Billie's Bounce]]), the studio version is quite different, as a solo rockabilly-style recording containing some keyboard riffs which were not included in the live version, as well as a few minor lyrical differences. The studio version was included on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 27|27 October 1988]] configuration of [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]]. It was also included as the second track on a late 1988 or early 1989 configuration of [[Album: Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]], but the album was ultimately abandoned. | |
