[[Eric Leeds]] confirmed in an interview with [http://www.thelastmiles.com/ The Last Miles] that the full title of the track was originally '''Life Is Like Looking For A Penny In A Large Room With No Light'''. The track was initially included as the tenth track on the first disc of the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration of the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album (and hence would have been credited to [[Prince and the Revolution]]), but was removed for the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration. UK radio station Jazz FM premiered the 2009 version, stating that it had been finished only two days prior to the premiere (on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 14|14 July 2009]]), and it is assumed that this recording took place at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA, but this is not confirmed. |
