Prince and his participation after the revolution

After the parade album and the crystal ball/dream factory sessions Wendy and Lisa went on to create albums. Anyone know if prince had any involvement in their projects?

imprimis

'Are You My Baby' and 'Pickle' are borne of a common 1988 P outtake, perhaps originally sung in the Camille-style voice (as done, or perhaps as duplicated, by Wendy on the released track).

.

He commissioned a remix of 'Lolly, Lolly', as well.

.

.

Bald rumor of P's involvement in some capacity, in an unreleased remix or otherwise, in Wendy & Lisa (1987)'s 'Everything But You', or, alternatively, of the released track's being W&L's re-recording of an instrumental or song from approximately the Dream Factory sessions time period.

.

Per the 1990 Rolling Stone interview, he attempted to provide constructive advice to them for their initial marketing and music video forays, and has some strong words about how their 'Waterfall' video turned out.

.

They appear, uncredited of course, in their instrumental contributions to 'The Ball' on LS' 'Eye No', and instrumental/vocal contributions on GB's 'We Can Funk' (and perhaps also in instrumental contributions to 'Can't Stop This Feeling I Got').

Save for the Lolly Lolly remix there was supposedly no involvement at all. Then this Pickle outtake, confirmed by BigChick to not be a fake and he's as reliable a source as can be, surfaced and it shares base elements with Are You My Baby?

However the problem is more complicated that that because according to British charts the Are You My Baby? single was out by February 1989 while according to Eric Leeds Pickle was given to him for possible work on Madhouse 24 in July 1989. Something doesn't add-up here because if P has given Pickle uncredited to W&L, royalties included, he couldn't possible have wished to re-use it later on for a Madhouse project.

I hope someone has the sense to ask W&L about that in a future interview, I had emailed their website about it once but got no reply.

So in the end, what we have so far is a big, unsolved mystery.

Other than that, it is not believed Prince has had any involvement in any other W&L recording.

.

Regarding your claims Imprimis, which I wouldn't discard on principle because you usually knows your shit though you have a tendency to come-up with your own conclusions, I've never heard the rumor about Everything But You, and Princevault doesn't make any mention on W&L's presence on Eye No, The Ball or Can't Stop so I'd be curious to know what your source is for those infos.

But didn't he do the same thing with another song that ended up on Eric Leads album or was supposed to be on it? Maybe something that was intended for the Madhouse 3rd album...
I was just reading about the song 2 days ago, and connect recall the name.

IDK if it's me or if your sentence is unclear but I don't understand the question lol Can u plz reformulate?

BTW technically Times Squared IS the 3rd Madhouse album (if you don't count the first 24).
