− | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 16|16 April 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]] | + | Basic tracking (initially listed as '''If The Boy Can’t Make You Come''') took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 16|16 April 1983]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (two days after basic tracking of [[Chili Sauce]] (as [[Chili Sauce|Proposition 17]]), the day before [[Chocolate]]). While reflecting about the song’s history on [http://www.facebook.com/JesseJohnsonfan/posts/10152293702581224 Facebook] in 2014, [[Jesse Johnson]] stated:<blockquote> ''"[[Morris Day|Morris]] who is a very, very gifted drummer went in sat down to play "'''Kid'''", but he kept speeding up [[Prince]] tried it, he kept speeding up too! So we got this brilliant idea, when looking back at it now it’s funny the [[Prince|P]] and I thought this was a really good resolution. [[Morris Day|Morris]] out of the three of us was the only one that had a drink now and again, or let me put it clearer, [[Morris Day|Morris]] was the only one that knew how to drink. [[Prince|P]] & I were real amateurs, honestly ... [[Prince]] & I drank a glass of wine or my case a glass of WHINE! (ohh my head the room is spinning, I don’t feel well, etc, etc) will I’m playing the DRUMS on "'''The Kid'''" and of course all guitars."''</blockquote> |
