Saxophone overdubs by [[Eric Leeds]] were recorded a few days later, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_2|2 July 1984]]. The track was originally intended for [[Mazarati]]’s album [[Album: Mazarati|Mazarati]], but when it was used instead for [[The Family]], [[Prince]] changed the title. A track titled '''BMW''' appears on an undated early work-in-progress configuration of the album, and this is believed to be the same track renamed after a different make of car. It was then renamed after [[Susannah Melvoin]]. On an acetate made of the LP, the content of which was not different from what was eventually released, the song was titled "Susannah’s Clothes". |
