The studio version of the song was premiered at a New’s Year’s Eve party at [[Club: Glam Slam|Glam Slam]] in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 31|31 December 1991]], but further work was done on the track, and a rap added by [[Tony M.]], in early 1992. It was included as the seventh track (fifth song) on March 1992, and late-Summer, 1992, configurations of the [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] album, until many of the album’s [[Symbol segues|segues]] were removed for release. |
Interestingly, the track uses a lead line from the 1988 track [[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]], which was unreleased at the time, but later released in 1999. While it may appear that [[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic]] (as it was named upon release) borrowed the lead line from '''The Max''', therefore, it was in fact the other way around. | Interestingly, the track uses a lead line from the 1988 track [[Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic|Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic]], which was unreleased at the time, but later released in 1999.
