This tape was broadcast in early March 1994 (by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_40 Los 40 Principales] in Spain, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Veronica_(Talpa_Radio) Radio Veronica] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TROS Tros] in The Netherlands and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_Radio_DRS DSR3] in the Switzerland).

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in early 1993 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (as '''Poem'''). The track reuses a guitar solo from [[Private Joy]] (recorded exactly 13 years before the [[Album: Come|Come]] album release, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August 16|16 August 1981]], at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California) and vocals from [[Vanity 6]]'s unreleased track [[Vibrator]] (recorded in Summer 1983 at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota). The "poem" was largely based on lines adapted from the Old Testament book [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_of_Songs Song of Songs] (also known as the Song of Solomon). '''Poem''' was originally included as the ninth and final track on a March 1993 configuration of [[Album: Come|Come]]. It was kept for inclusion on the [[Album: Come|Come]] album as the first track on a [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_11|11 March 1994]] configuration. For the final configuration of the album, the track was renamed '''Orgasm''' and portions of the "poem" were distributed as opening segments of other tracks; [[Pheromone]], [[Race]], [[Dark]] and [[Letitgo]] include segments in their opening seconds. | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in early 1993 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (as '''Poem''').
