+ | On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 24|24 September 2012]], in anticipation of the "Welcome 2 Chicago" three-date residency, a 3:18 rehearsal version of [[Old Friends 4 Sale]] by [[Prince and the New Power Generation]] was streamed on [http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2012/09/24/exclusive-rehearsal-jam-prince-the-npg-old-friends-4-sale-listen-now/ DrFunkenberry blog], using the 1991 lyrics, with a minor change to the main subject of the song being female; this may have been in reference to [[Sheila E.]], who had tweeted vague references to a fallout with [[Prince]] a week earlier. | ||

The track was reworked with less personal lyrics in 1991, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA (the original 1985 orchestration was reused, however). It is this later version that was included on [[Album: The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale|The Vault...
