| − | |introduction = '''Sex Machine''' is an unreleased track performed live, and perhaps recorded, in 1973 by [[Band: Grand Central|Grand Central]], a band consisting of [[Prince]], [[André Cymone|André Anderson]] and [[Charles Smith]], as one of the few original compositions known to be played by the band at the time, along with [[Do You Feel Like Dancing?]], [[Danger Lover]] and [[Funk It Up]] (they mostly played cover versions of current hits). It is not known who in the group wrote the track, or if it was a collaborative effort, but it is certainly possible that this is [[Prince]]'s earliest known composition. It is not known if the track was later considered for inclusion on any project, although it is possible that the song is related in some way to [[Machine]], which was recorded by [[Grand Central]] in 1976.
