The original track was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 3|3 April 1982]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (two days after re-recording [[Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me?]] and two days before [[3 x 2 = 6]]). The song was considered for inclusion on [[Album: Vanity 6|Vanity 6]], but it is not known if a version with vocals by [[Vanity 6]] was recorded. It is possible that the track was worked on further in 1983, as some of the lyrics could be interpreted as referring to [[Dez Dickerson]]’s departure from the band and [[Wendy Melvoin]]’s arrival. | The original track was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/April 3|3 April 1982]] at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California (two days after re-recording [[Wouldn’t You Love To Love Me?]] and two days before [[3 x 2 = 6]]).

It is not known whether this version was the same as an earlier version, or an alternate recording. | ||
On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 4|4 March 2011]], the website [http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2011/03/04/prince-is-extra-loveable-but-where-will-he-play-next/#comments drfunkenberry.com] reported that [[Prince]] was "about to unleash" a "25 minute live version" of '''Extraloveable''' (written as '''Extra Loveable'''), but nothing more on that alleged version came out eventually and '''Extraloveable''' had at that point never been played live, so this may be a live in-studio recording. The version eventually released was a studio version, likely recorded later in 2011, featuring a rap by [[Andy Allo]] (who first started performing with [[Prince]] in May 2011); the track was likely recorded at [[Paisley Park Studios]], although this is unconfirmed. | On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 4|4 March 2011]], the website [http://www.drfunkenberry.com/2011/03/04/prince-is-extra-loveable-but-where-will-he-play-next/#comments drfunkenberry.com] reported that [[Prince]] was "about to unleash" a "25 minute live version" of '''Extraloveable''' (written as '''Extra Loveable'''), but nothing more on that alleged version came out eventually and '''Extraloveable''' had at that point never been played live, so this may be a live in-studio recording.
