Soulpsychodelicide (often referred to as Soul Psychodelicide) is an unreleased song recorded in 1989 (specific recording dates are unknown), at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Actress Kim Basinger appears on one version of the track providing a cappella singing, indicating that some recording for the track may have taken place in October 1989 (around the time of the recording of The Scandalous Sex Suite), although it's possible her singing was sampled and wasn't originally recorded for this song.
Prince and George Clinton worked further on the track together on 20-21 February 1990 at Paisley Park Studios. Clinton took the song back to his studio in Detroit (studio details needed), where he worked on the song further. It is likely that it was planned for Graffiti Bridge but was not included on any known configuration of the album, nor in the movie.
The title is re-used from an otherwise-unrelated song in 1986 (for information on this track, see Soulpsychodelicide). Interestingly, the original track of the same name was recorded five days after Joy In Repetition, which includes the lyrics "Live music from the band plays a song called Soulpsychodelicide / The song's a year long, and it's been playin' for months...", and the 1989/1990 version of Soulpsychodelicide includes the lyric "3 month's in, we got 9 2 go / Anybody in the house wanna stop this show? (Hell no!)" indicating that Prince saw these songs as connected.
