As with the FABULOUS first solo album by Eric Leeds, it seems Sheila E. was also part of the crew that shaped the Madhouse albums; Four on the live set gets credited to writer duo Prince and Sheila Escovedo. No Eric credit, seems he was just playin' on it.
I am curious to see the Madhouse Super Deluxe come to light now.

She is likely credited for the drum solo. There is no evidence Sheila was invovled with "Four".

I admit, my 'knowledge' does not go beyond what PrinceVault's pages and Times Squared's lined notes tell me, but it's it was always a revelation to me to see some of Times Squared's recording sessions date back as far as 1987 recording sessions, one even back to '85. And as Madhouse was always supposed to be of mysterious origins, maybe some of her contributions got snowed under the moniker of mystery.

Personally, I consider Times Squared's group efforts, where the credits go to ALL players, to be among Prince's best related artist material; somehow, the two Prince solo tunes on this album sound the most boring, compared to the liveliness of the rest of the album. So it is interesting to me who played on the Madhouse tracks. Seems we do not know everything there is to know yet. :happyhappyjoyjoy:

She'd like to think she had a hand in everything, but alas - no. Prince did the Madhouse stuff all himself. Eric is the one who deserves some credit on "Four" and whatever else he helped form with his sax work.

TS is based on old recordings. Its origins are well documented.
