Uno a.k.a Instrumental I a.k.a 17 is an unreleased instrumental recorded on 26 June 1988, during a one-day session between Prince and Sheila E., ostensibly for a projected album by Madhouse. The number 17 was seemingly just associated to it as a logical continuation following 1-8 and 9-16 on Madhouse’s first two albums. It is however otherwise completely unrelated to the song 17 (Penetration) recorded later in 1988.
Today’s session also yielded Dos (a.k.a. “Instrumental II” a.k.a. “18”), Tres (a.k.a. “Instrumental III” a.k.a. “19”) and “Instrumental IV” a.k.a. “20”, later re-worked and released as Cape Horn). It is unknown if this track or any other one from this session was seriously considered for the planned third Madhouse album, later known as 24. When work on that projected album continued in December 1988, new songs were recorded using the titles 17 (Penetration), 18 (R U Legal Yet?), 19 (Jailbait) and 20 (A Girl And Her Puppy).
