In 1997, a live version was included as the first track on [[Single: NYC|NYC]], a cassette single sold directly from the [[1-800 New Funk]] phone service, which could be considered the third and final commercially-released single from the album. |
− | + | Basic tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in late 1995 or early 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (at the same time [[Rosie Gaines]] recorded her parts of tracks on the [[album: Chaos And Disorder|Chaos And Disorder]] album). '''Jam Of The Year''' was remixed in Summer 1997 (perhaps for potential single release, although at this stage [[Prince]] had abandoned promotion for the album after EMI’s demise), and a clip was available on [[Love4OneAnother.com]] in the fall of 1997. This remix contained a rap by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_E._Fresh Doug E. Fresh], and the remix was later developed into the track [[Push It Up]]. | |

That sample also appears on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ compilation "Beats, Breaks & Scratches Volume 1" as ''Funky Roll'' (released in 1987). [[Prince]] likely took it from there as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ ''Beats, Breaks & Scratches'' compilations were heavily used by him and his associates in the early nineties on various songs and remixes. The same ''Funky Loop'' sample also appears on [[Colors]] and remixes of [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]]. |
