It was recorded in late 1974 at [[Cookhouse Studios]], Minneapolis, Minnesota, by [[Grand Central]], a band consisting of [[Prince]], [[André Cymone|André Anderson]], [[Charles Smith|Charles 'Chazz' Smith]], Linda Anderson and William Doughty, with [[Pepé Willie]] overseeing. |

+ | The reel-to-reel recording-session was a result of winning a North Commons Park battle-of-the-band contest, where the prize was $75 and 8 hours recording time. Other songs recorded in the session were [[Whenever]], [[You Remind Me Of Me]] and Love Unlimited’s instrumental [[Love’s Theme]]. These four songs are the first to be recorded by [[Prince]] in a studio. He would later return to the [[Cookhouse Studios]] to record songs for [[Pepé Willie]]’s [[94 East]] project the following year. Other sessions with [[Grand Central]] (now [[Grand Central|Grand Central Corporation]] with [[Morris Day]] on drums replacing [[Charles Smith|Charles 'Chazz' Smith]]) and [[André Cymone|André Anderson]] took place in early 1976 at [[ASI Studio]], Minneapolis, Minnesota. | ||
