My favorite era of his career and a creative peak imo "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Y'All Want Some More? is an unreleased instrumental recorded on 5 January, 1986 during the so-called "Everybody's Jam" seven-hour session (that also produced Groove In C Minor, Groove In G Flat Minor, Junk Music, Slow Groove In G Major and Up From Below) at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. During the session, Prince primarily played drums. The track was included as the third track on the 22 January, 1986 configuration of The Flesh album, to be credited to The Flesh, which was ultimately abandoned.

MUSICIAN (1997)
APRIL 1997 * MUSICIAN How can you tell when the song you're working on has potential? Well, see, I can't say anything about that, because I hate criticizing music. If you judge something, maybe that means you get judged back someday. I wouldn't tell you that some song you wrote isn't any good. I wrote this song called "Make Your Mama Happy" that would probably frighten you. And this other song I wrote, "Sexual Suicide," has this horn section that's nothing but baritone saxes; it sounds like a truck coming at you. So who can say?

Make Your Mama Happy
Basic tracks were recorded on 8 August, 1986 (the day after the recording of Forever In My Life), at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio in Chanhassen, MN, USA.

I still don't understand how/why people think the line about snow is in any way related to Jam & Lewis. He wouldn't follow that line up with Minnesota winters and cocaine, if he hadn't meant for it to be metaphoric. Speculation can be made about which friends he's referencing -- Big Chick, Vanity, Morris --- but I don't think for a second that he wrote that line in the literal sense. | |

I forget where I copied that from. But I believe it is Morris Day & Vanity too I'm going to update that info

SEXUAL SUICIDE Initial tracking took place on 10 August, 1985, at the Crosstown Circle Warehouse in Eden Prairie, MN, USA (six days after Empty Room, shortly before Go). The liner notes in Crystal Ball state that Sheila E. showed Prince how to play the drumbeat, but she is not given any writing credit. Sexual Suicide was initially placed as the tenth and final track on an April, 1986, configuration of the Dream Factory album. It was included as the twelfth and final track (tenth song) on the first disc of a 3 June, 1986, configuration of the album. The track was removed from the album before the last known configuration, dated 18 July, 1986, before the album was ultimately abandoned. -PrinceVault

Slaughterhouse U Just Can't Stop Run Amok Mobile This track was given the name as Eric Leeds thought the blues style of the track was reminiscent of Mobile, Alabama. MadridA part of the melody of Madrid was later reused in the Eric Leeds track Andorra. Breathless High Calonic 12 Keys (Question of U)Eric Leeds named the track 12 Keys, unaware (as were Sheila E. and Levi Seacer, Jr.) that it was an instrumental version of a track Prince had recorded previously.
at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. The session was all improvised, and recorded with no breaks between tracks; track names were given afterwards by Eric Leeds as a way of more easily identifying the pieces of music. It is unknown if this track was intended at the time for The Flesh album or any other project.

The Question Of U
While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in mid-late July, 1985 at the Crosstown Circle Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions that produced Girls & Boys, ♥ Or $, Neon Telephone, Do U Lie?, Venus De Milo and (U Got The) Good Drawers), but was not included on any known configurations of Parade, or any other projects during 1985-6. An instrumental version was recorded on 28 December, 1985 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA with Sheila E., Levi Seacer, Jr and Eric Leeds during the so-called "Paisley Jam" session
Eric Leeds named the track 12 Keys, unaware (as were Sheila E. and Levi Seacer, Jr.) that it was an instrumental version of a track Prince had recorded previously.

It's A Wonderful Day is an unreleased song recorded on 30 January, 1986 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA
The song was included as the third track on the late April, 1986 configuration of Dream Factory, and was kept as the third track on the 3 June, 1986 configuration, but was replaced by Train on the 18 July, 1986 configuration. Engineer Susan Rogers has stated that Prince may have always planned on replacing the track before release, and used it as a placeholder to find a track with a similar feel.
An instrumental portion of the track was included as background music in the Under The Cherry Moon movie, in a scene where Tricky and Christopher Tracy are arguing.
