− | |introduction = '''Thunder''' is the first track on [[Prince]] | + | |introduction = '''Thunder''' is the first track on [[Prince]]’s 13th album [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], the first album to be credited to [[Prince and the New Power Generation]]. Eight months after the album’s release, [[Single: Thunder|Thunder]] was released as a 12" single in the UK, as the album’s sixth and final single. |
− | + | A tape photographed in [[Prince]]’s vault at [[Paisley Park Studios]] lists it as [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/January 24|24 January 1991]], suggesting the exact date for the recording at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. This can not be correct, however, as [[Prince and the New Power Generation]] performed in [[24_January_1991|Rio de Janeiro, Brazil]] for the ''Rock In Rio II'' festival that same day. It is likely the track was recorded in late January after their return (possibly even on January 25) and simply mislabeled. Alternatively, it could have been recorded prior to the South America trip, and only filed on January 24. | |
