− | + | Original tracking of this song was at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota, most likely on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 20|20 November 1990]] after midnight, continuing the session tracking [[Diamonds And Pearls]]. The original recording was over 7 and a half minutes long, and did not yet feature [[Tony M.]]’s rap. An edit of this version, made its way to the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 27|27 November 1990]] configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] as the tenth track. | |

This different 7:30 ‘Early Version’ with [[Prince]]’s [[The Flow]] rap was featured on the early December 1990 configuration of the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album, and was released on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 28|28 September 2023]] as '''Live 4 Love (Early Version)''', as a preview for the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls SuperDeluxe| Diamonds And Pearls ''Super Deluxe Edition'']], where it was featured as the ninth track of ''Vault Tracks part 1'', one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the box-set. | |
