Pickle is an unreleased instrumental, recorded on 9 June, 1988, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (three days after Electric Chair, on the same day as Pink Cashmere and Times Squared, originally titled Sticky Wicked, two days before an entirely different song named Sticky Wicked). It is not known if this track was intended for any particular project at the time of recording, but in July, 1989, Prince gave the track (along with My Summertime Thang, You're All I Want, U Should Be Mine, Wet Dream Cousin, Vibrator, The Max and XYZ) to Eric Leeds to consider reworking for a new Madhouse album (later called 26, which later evolved into Eric Leeds' solo album Times Squared). Eric Leeds did not choose this track to develop further, however.
