+ | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 14|14 January 1982]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California three days after and [[Gigolos Get Lonely Too]], two days after [[Bold Generation]], the same day as [[The Walk]], and the day before [[Colleen]]), during sessions for [[The Time]]'s second album [[Album: What Time Is It?|What Time Is It?]]. | ||

+ | [[Prince]] recorded an initial version on this day with [[Morris Day]] on drums. This version was released as '''Take 1 (Live In Studio)''' as the eighth track on the ''Vault Tracks part 1'' disc of a ''Deluxe'' edition of the [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]] album. The version was worked on further on the same day and possibly at a later date, so that almost none of the elements of this 'take 1' version can be heard in the track as it was released on [[Album: 1999|1999]] in 1982. [[Morris Day]]'s version was recorded most likely shortly after at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. | ||

It was made to replicate the original mix from the time the song was initially tracked, as much as possible. So even when a slightly different mix of this track might exist, the now released version is not considered a true alternate mix of the track. |
