+ | Basic tracking of the studio version of the track took place in late 1989 or early 1990 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. [[Robin Power]] recorded vocal overdubs on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_9|9 July 1990]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] (while [[Prince]] was in Europe on the [[Nude Tour]]). The song’s drum track (of the movie version) was also used on [[Elephants & Flowers]]. | ||

+ | '''Number 1''' was not included on any known configuration of the [[Album:_Graffiti_Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] album. It was planned for inclusion on a proposed [[Album: Robin Power And The Uptown Dames (1991)|album]] by [[Robin Power]] and a video was shot for this song (with a different backing music), but [[Prince]] soon lost interest and the album was never completed. | ||
