Madhouse: "8" Album (1987)

Madhouse’s 8 was released as an album in the US by Paisley Park Records (catalog number PAIS 1) on January 21, 1987..

All eight tracks were either written or co-written by Prince, with him playing most of the instruments, and Eric Leeds contributing saxophone and flute. The tracks are titled with written numbers from One to Eight, while the album itself is titled numerically. This is Prince's first instrumental album released under any name.

The album credits claim it was recorded at "Madhouse Studios" in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, to maintain the illusion that it was a project Eric Leeds recorded with his former band. However, the entire album was actually recorded over four days (28 September - 1 October 1986) at Prince’s Galpin Blvd Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. No musicians are credited on this record.

The album spawned one single, 6.

8 failed to chart in the UK and reached number 107 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums Chart and number 25 on the Billboard Top Black Albums Chart.
