+ | [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] & [[Lisa Coleman|Lisa]] are also given writing and conducting credits for the string interlude which precedes the song as featured on the album. The credits feature in the liner notes for [[Album: Around The World In A Day|Around The World In A Day]] seemingly as part of the credits for [[Pop Life]], which precedes '''The Ladder'''. However, the string interlude is the first part of the eight track on the album, and is therefore included here. It was recorded in September 1984, and is the opening bars of the string arrangement for [[Our Destiny]], which was posthumously released in 2017 on the second disc (titled ''From The Vault & Previously Unreleased'') of [[Album: Purple Rain Deluxe|Purple Rain ''Deluxe'']] (as '''[[Our Destiny]] / Roadhouse Garden'''). | ||
