The track was initially included as the second track on the first disc on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration of [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. The introductory piece acting as a segue from [[Sign O’ The Times]] to [[Play In The Sunshine]] on [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]] was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January_15|15 January 1987]] at [[Sunset Sound]]. |
