- Prince (October 26, 1984) – “Prince Tour To Include Two Concerts In St. Paul” News Feature - Minneapolis Star and Tribune
This Minneapolis Star and Tribune news item announces two hometown-area concerts by Prince and the Revolution at the St. Paul Civic Center as part of Prince’s forthcoming nationwide tour. Scheduled for December 26 and 27, the performances were announced as the tour prepared to open with seven sold-out Detroit concerts, while further multi-night engagements were already confirmed across the United States. Publication: Minneapolis Star and Tribune Date: October 26, 1984 Country: United States THE STORY Published under the headline “Prince tour to include two concerts in St. Paul,” the article announces that Prince would perform at the St. Paul Civic Center on December 26 and 27, 1984. The concerts formed part of a nationwide tour scheduled to begin on November 4 in Detroit. Tickets for the two St. Paul performances were expected to go on sale around November 5, according to Schon Productions, the promoter responsible for the concerts. The newspaper reports that the top ticket price would be $18.50, while lower-priced ticket levels had yet to be determined. Tickets were expected to be sold through Wax Museums, Great American Music stores and possibly the Civic Center box office. An exact ticket-sale date was expected to be announced the following week. THE TOUR The scale of the forthcoming tour was already evident when the article appeared. The newspaper reports that the seven opening concerts at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit were sold out. A further seven concerts at Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland, located between Washington and Baltimore, were also reported as sold out. Other dates announced at the time included: November 14-15 – Greensboro, North Carolina November 16 – Richmond, Virginia November 22-24 – Philadelphia December 4-5 – Cleveland December 9-11 and 13 – Chicago December 20-21 – St. Louis December 26-27 – St. Paul December 29-31 – Dallas The article concludes by stating that the tour by Prince and the Revolution was expected to continue through at least the following spring. ST. PAUL CONCERTS The St. Paul announcement placed two Minnesota performances directly between the tour’s engagements in St. Louis and Dallas. Concert 1: December 26, 1984 Concert 2: December 27, 1984 Venue: St. Paul Civic Center Top Ticket Price: $18.50 At the time of publication, the lower ticket prices and precise on-sale date had not yet been confirmed. CONTEXT AND NOTES The clipping documents the St. Paul concerts at the announcement stage, before tickets had gone on sale. It also provides a contemporary snapshot of the extraordinary initial demand surrounding Prince and the Revolution’s forthcoming tour, with the newspaper specifically reporting seven sold-out concerts in Detroit and another seven sold-out performances in Largo, Maryland. The article does not give attendance figures, a setlist or details of the eventual St. Paul performances, so none have been added to this Chronicle.

- Tevin Campbell (October 26, 1993) – I’m Ready CD/CTC
Released on October 26, 1993, I’m Ready was the second studio album by Tevin Campbell. Issued through Qwest Records and Warner Bros., the album ran for 49:10 and included four songs written and produced by Prince under the credit Paisley Park. Prince’s contributions were “The Halls Of Desire,” “Uncle Sam,” “Paris 1798430” and “Shhh.” Although Prince’s involvement represented only part of the finished album, the four recordings formed a distinctive group within the project and connected I’m Ready directly with Prince’s creative work of the early 1990s. RELEASE DETAILS Artist: Tevin Campbell Title: I’m Ready Release Date: October 26, 1993 Format: CD / Cassette Running Time: 49:10 Labels: Qwest Records / Warner Bros. Studios: Olympic Studios, London / Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, Minnesota PRINCE CONNECTION Prince wrote and produced four songs included on I’m Ready, using the pseudonym Paisley Park for the songwriting and production credits. The four Prince compositions were: The Halls Of Desire Uncle Sam Paris 1798430 Shhh Prince also performed the majority of the instrumental and background-vocal parts on the Prince-related recordings, with additional musicians contributing to individual tracks. The finished album therefore combined Tevin Campbell’s lead vocals with a substantial body of Prince-created material while also incorporating work by other writers and producers. SESSIONS & COMPILING At one stage Prince was considered as a possible producer for the entire album. Instead, Tevin Campbell and executive producer Quincy Jones also worked with other producers, including Babyface and Narada Michael Walden. Prince recorded seven songs during September 1992 for possible inclusion on Campbell’s album: The Halls Of Desire Uncle Sam Paris 1798430 Shhh Down The P Holly Don’t Care Four were ultimately retained for I’m Ready: The Halls Of Desire Uncle Sam Paris 1798430 Shhh The remaining three followed different paths. Holly Don’t Care was subsequently reworked by Mayte for Child Of The Sun. Down and The P remained unreleased. Shhh would later return to Prince’s own catalogue when Prince reclaimed the composition and released a Prince recording on The Gold Experience. THE FOUR PRINCE COMPOSITIONS THE HALLS OF DESIRE “The Halls Of Desire” runs for 4:36 and was written by Prince under the Paisley Park credit. The recording includes contributions from Michael B. on drums, Sonny T. on bass, Tommy Barbarella on keyboards, Kathleen Johnson on background vocals, Eric Leeds on saxophone and Kirk Johnson on percussion. William “DJ” Graves contributed scratching. UNCLE SAM “Uncle Sam” runs for 3:57. Prince wrote the song under the Paisley Park credit, while the rap was written by Paula Sherield. Kathleen Johnson contributed background vocals, and Kirk Johnson supplied additional production. PARIS 1798430 “Paris 1798430” runs for 3:37. Alongside Prince, the recording features additional horn contributions associated with Michael B. Nelson, Kathy Jensen, Dave Jensen, Brian Gallagher and Steve Strand. The track also incorporates sampled material connected with Eric Leeds and sampled string arrangements by Clare Fischer. CONTEXT AND NOTES I’m Ready represents one of Prince’s substantial outside production and songwriting projects from the early 1990s. Although plans apparently existed for Prince to take a much larger production role, the finished album ultimately combined Prince’s material with work from several other producers. The four Prince compositions nevertheless formed a clearly identifiable strand within the finished record, reinforced through Prince’s Paisley Park production credit and extensive instrumental involvement. “Shhh” is especially notable in retrospect because Prince subsequently reclaimed the composition and released a Prince version on The Gold Experience. The album’s commercial performance was considerable, reaching No. 18 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart, before receiving double-platinum certification in the United States. SHHH “Shhh” runs for 4:55. Michael B. contributed drums, Sonny T. bass and Tommy Barbarella keyboards, with Kathleen Johnson supplying background vocals. The recording also incorporates sampled string arrangements by Clare Fischer. The song became especially significant within the Prince catalogue when Prince later recorded and released a version on The Gold Experience.

- Prince (October 28, 2016) – “Man With A Camera” Daniel Corrigan / Heyday Feature - Star Tribune
This Star Tribune Variety cover feature celebrates photographer Daniel Corrigan and the publication of Heyday: 35 Years of Music in Minneapolis. Written by Jon Bream, the article looks back over Corrigan’s extensive documentation of Minnesota’s music scene, with Prince given a prominent place through a large 1981 concert photograph and Corrigan’s recollections of photographing Prince six times during that year. Publication: Star Tribune Date: October 28, 2016 Country: United States Writer: Jon Bream Photography: Daniel Corrigan THE STORY Published under the headline “Man with a camera”, the feature profiles photographer Daniel Corrigan as the release of Heyday: 35 Years of Music in Minneapolis brought together more than three decades of Corrigan’s music photography. The introductory heading explains that the new book highlights 35 years of Minnesota music, while Bream describes Corrigan’s longstanding connection with the Minneapolis scene. Corrigan is described as First Avenue’s assistant facilities manager, unofficial tour guide, occasional stagehand, sometimes security guard and official photographer. The article explains that Corrigan’s photography developed alongside this work, placing Corrigan close to performers and events throughout the Minneapolis music community. PRINCE – 1981 Prince receives one of the three prominent photographic positions on the Variety page. The black-and-white concert photograph, numbered 2, shows Prince performing on stage with guitar during 1981. In the accompanying “In his own words” section, Corrigan recalls: “I shot Prince six times — four times at First Avenue.” Corrigan adds two observations about photographing Prince: “He was teeny-tiny and 2) how good he was as a guitar player. I’ve never seen anyone with such complete mastery.” The recollection provides an especially valuable contemporary connection between Corrigan’s photography and Prince’s early Minneapolis performances. HEYDAY The feature accompanies the publication of Heyday: 35 Years of Music in Minneapolis. The book contains more than 500 photographs, presenting Corrigan’s visual record of performers connected with Minneapolis music over a 35-year period. Bream notes that the collection ranges across numerous artists and groups, including U2 and Michael Jackson alongside Minneapolis acts such as Dessa and Hippo Campus. The book includes text by Danny Sigelman. DANIEL CORRIGAN The article describes photography as something Corrigan pursued alongside a varied working life within the Minneapolis music environment. Corrigan also photographed regularly for City Pages and the University of Minnesota’s Minnesota Daily. The feature explains that Corrigan’s archive eventually grew to encompass thousands of negatives and digital files. One revealing comment from Corrigan concerns the retrospective process of assembling the book. Looking back through so much material meant rediscovering images that had not necessarily remained familiar over the intervening years. PHOTOGRAPHY Three Daniel Corrigan photographs dominate the page. Photograph 1 presents The Replacements in an elevator in 1985. Corrigan’s accompanying recollection explains that the group had intended to make an elevator photograph and were crowded together for the session. Photograph 2 documents Prince performing in 1981, with Corrigan recalling photographing Prince six times. Photograph 3 shows Lifter Puller in 1999, with Corrigan explaining that unusual props appearing in the photograph belonged to a beauty salon in the building rather than being deliberately brought into the shoot. Together, the three photographs illustrate the breadth of Corrigan’s work, ranging from performances to deliberately staged and more spontaneous images. CONTEXT AND NOTES Published several months after Prince’s passing, the feature offers a particularly valuable photographic retrospective of the Minneapolis music community in which Prince’s career developed. The Prince section is concise but important. Rather than providing a general retrospective of Prince’s career, Corrigan contributes a specific first-hand recollection of photographing Prince repeatedly in 1981, including four occasions at First Avenue. Corrigan’s observation concerning Prince’s guitar playing is equally significant. The photographer remembers not simply the visual impact of Prince’s performances but the remarkable command Prince demonstrated over the instrument. The page also promotes the publication of Heyday and accompanying events connected with the book. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS Event: Daniel Corrigan profile and Heyday book feature Publication Date: October 28, 2016 Era Documented: 35 years of Minneapolis music Prince Photograph: 1981 live performance Photographer: Daniel Corrigan Writer: Jon Bream Book: Heyday: 35 Years of Music in Minneapolis WHAT THE CLIPPING SHOWS • Daniel Corrigan’s 35-year photographic documentation of Minnesota music • A prominent live photograph of Prince from 1981 • Corrigan recalling photographing Prince six times • Four of those Prince shoots taking place at First Avenue • Corrigan particularly remembering Prince’s mastery as a guitarist • Heyday containing more than 500 photographs • The Replacements photographed in an elevator in 1985 • Lifter Puller photographed in 1999 • Jon Bream profiling Corrigan and the photographic archive behind Heyday All magazine scans, photographs, and original text excerpts referenced in this entry remain the property of their respective copyright holders.

- Vanity 6 (October 28, 1982) – TopPop Television Performance: “Nasty Girl” and “He’s So Dull”
On October 28, 1982, Vanity 6 recorded performances of“Nasty Girl” and“He’s So Dull” for the Dutch television programme TopPop at NOB Studios in Hilversum, the Netherlands. The appearance formed part of the group’s European promotion for their self-titled debut album, with the “Nasty Girl” performance first broadcast on October 30, 1982 and subsequently adopted as the song’s official promotional video. Artist: Vanity 6 Programme: TopPop Recording Date: October 28, 1982 First Broadcast: October 30, 1982 Location: NOB Studios, Hilversum, the Netherlands Studio: Studio 5 / Studio 6 Performances: “Nasty Girl” / “He’s So Dull” Country: The Netherlands THE TOPPOP APPEARANCE Vanity 6 visited Hilversum during the group’s European promotional activities in October 1982. At NOB Studios, Vanity, Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie recorded performances for the weekly Dutch television programme TopPop. The two songs documented for the appearance were: “Nasty Girl” “He’s So Dull” The “Nasty Girl” performance was first transmitted on Dutch television on October 30, 1982. An edited version was subsequently selected as the official promotional video because a separate video shoot could not be arranged around the group’s promotional appearances, rehearsals and preparations for the 1999 Tour. NASTY GIRL “Nasty Girl” was the opening track on Vanity 6’s self-titled debut album and was released as the album’s second single. The recording was written, composed and produced by Prince, although the original songwriting credit was assigned to Vanity. Basic tracking took place in late March 1982 at Prince’s Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, during the same group of sessions that produced “Bite The Beat,” “He’s So Dull” and “If A Girl Answers (Don’t Hang Up).” The album recording features Vanity on lead vocals, with Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie providing background vocals. Prince performed the electric piano, synthesiser, guitar, bass and drum-machine parts. The full album version runs for approximately 5:10, while the edited single version runs for 2:55. THE VANITY 6 ALBUM Released in 1982, Vanity 6 was the group’s first and only studio album. The album was recorded during March and April 1982 at Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen and Sunset Sound in Hollywood. Prince oversaw most of the project under the name The Starr Company, writing, producing and performing much of the music while credits were distributed among members of Prince’s creative circle. “He’s So Dull” was the principal exception, having been written by Dez Dickerson. The album’s original track sequence was: THE PROMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE The TopPop presentation consists of Vanity 6 lip-syncing to an edited version of “Nasty Girl.” Rather than documenting a live musical performance, the studio appearance was created specifically for television promotion. The completed recording runs for approximately 3:41 and was subsequently used internationally as the official promotional film for the single. Its direct studio presentation preserved Vanity 6’s visual identity during the period in which the group was preparing to join Prince and The Time on the 1999 Tour. HE’S SO DULL “He’s So Dull” was the fourth track on the Vanity 6 album. Unlike most of the album, the song was written and produced by Dez Dickerson, with Prince participating as a musician rather than as its principal writer and producer. The recording features: Vanity – Lead vocals Brenda Bennett – Vocals Susan Moonsie – Vocals Dez Dickerson – Guitar and drums Prince – Instruments The album version runs for approximately 2:32. RECORDING HISTORY Although the exact recording date for “He’s So Dull” has not been established, basic tracking took place in late March 1982 at Prince’s Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen. The song was developed during the same period as “Nasty Girl,” “Bite The Beat” and “If A Girl Answers (Don’t Hang Up).” “He’s So Dull” was released as the album’s first single. In some territories, it was also included on the 12-inch edition of “Nasty Girl.” A Dutch 12-inch release brought together: Nasty Girl – 5:10 He’s So Dull – 4:05 Drive Me Wild – 2:31 SIDE ONE Nasty Girl Wet Dream Drive Me Wild He’s So Dull SIDE SIX If A Girl Answers (Don’t Hang Up) Make-Up Bite The Beat 3 × 2 = 6 The unusual Side One / Side Six labelling formed part of the album’s Vanity 6 presentation LATER HISTORY OF NASTY GIRL “Nasty Girl” continued to appear in Prince-related releases after the original Vanity 6 period. In 1996, the recording was included on the Girl 6 soundtrack, which collected music by Prince and associated artists for Spike Lee’s film. The song also appeared as the B-side of the accompanying “Girl 6” single credited to the New Power Generation. Prince later drew extensively upon “Nasty Girl” for“Hot Wit U (Nasty Girl Remix),” released on the 2001 album Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic. These later appearances extended the song’s history beyond the original 1982 Vanity 6 album and single campaign. RELEASE AND CHART HISTORY “Nasty Girl” was released as a single on September 24, 1982. The song reached: No. 1 – US Billboard Dance/Disco Top 80 No. 7 – US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 5 – Dutch Top 40 No. 7 – Netherlands Single Top 100 No. 11 – Belgian chart The single remained at the top of the US Dance/Disco chart for four weeks before being replaced at No. 1 by Prince’s “1999.” PERFORMERS Vanity – Lead vocals Brenda Bennett – Vocals Susan Moonsie – Vocals PERFORMANCES RECORDED Performance Television Programme Recording Date Nasty Girl TopPop October 28, 1982 He’s So Dull TopPop October 28, 1982 BROADCAST HISTORY The “Nasty Girl” performance was first broadcast by Dutch television on October 30, 1982. The performance was later used as the song’s official promotional video and was uploaded to the official TopPop channel in September 2018. [princevault.com] There is conflicting secondary information concerning the surviving TopPop presentation of “He’s So Dull.” The official TopPop upload describes that clip as having been recorded on January 15, 1983, while the Prince archive documentation associates “He’s So Dull” with the October 28, 1982 Hilversum session. The two dates should therefore remain separately documented until the recording history is resolved. CONTEXT AND NOTES The Hilversum appearance documents Vanity 6 during the brief but important promotional campaign surrounding the group’s only album. “Nasty Girl” was the principal Prince-written selection performed for TopPop, while “He’s So Dull” represented Dez Dickerson’s songwriting and production contribution to the project. The use of the “Nasty Girl” performance as the official promotional video gave the Dutch television recording a much longer life than its original TopPop broadcast. It also preserved one of the most recognisable pieces of Vanity 6 footage from the period immediately before the group joined the 1999 Tour. FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS Event: Vanity 6 records performances for TopPop Recording Date: October 28, 1982 First Broadcast: October 30, 1982 Location: NOB Studios, Hilversum, the Netherlands Performances: “Nasty Girl” and “He’s So Dull” Related Album: Vanity 6 Prince Connection: Writer, producer and principal musician on “Nasty Girl”; musician on “He’s So Dull” Later Use: “Nasty Girl” performance adopted as the official promotional video WHAT THE APPEARANCE FEATURED • Vanity 6 recording television performances in Hilversum • “Nasty Girl” performed for the Dutch programme TopPop • “He’s So Dull” associated with the same promotional visit • Vanity, Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie appearing together • The “Nasty Girl” performance first broadcast on October 30, 1982 • An edited version subsequently used as the official promotional video • Promotion for the group’s self-titled debut album • A direct connection with Prince’s expanding Minneapolis musical circle SOURCES Discogs, 45 World, Wikipedia, BBC Official Charts, Prince Vault, Sleeveographia2.

- Aretha Franklin & James Brown (October 30, 1989) – Gimme Your Love Single UK: 7" / 12"
Released in the UK on October 30, 1989, Gimme Your Love was a duet by Aretha Franklin and James Brown and the third and final single associated with Franklin's Through The Storm album. The original album recording was written by Narada Michael Walden and Jeffrey Cohen and did not involve Prince. His connection came specifically through the single campaign, when he contributed a remix of the track. Those remixes subsequently appeared in several edits and configurations across the different single formats. The Prince-related versions therefore occupy an unusual place in his catalogue: he was neither the featured artist nor writer of the original song, but his remix work became an important part of the single's release history. UK CD Single Arista – 662 727 RECORDING The original album version of Gimme Your Love contained no Prince involvement. Prince subsequently remixed the recording for the single release, resulting in several distinct versions: • Gimme Your Love (Edit Purple Mix) – 4:49 • Gimme Your Love (Extended Remix) – 10:43 • Gimme Your Love (Part One) (Purple Mix) – 5:51 • Gimme Your Love (Part Two) (Purple Mix) – 3:07 The Prince-related mixes were not included on an album at the time of their original release. They were subsequently incorporated into the 2014 Expanded Edition of Through The Storm. UK CD Single Arista – 662 727 STYLE & THEMES The single brought together the contrasting vocal styles of Aretha Franklin and James Brown, while Prince's contribution was centred on reworking the existing recording for the singles market. The various Purple Mix editions allowed his remix to be presented both as a complete extended version and as shorter edits suited to individual formats. TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES GIMME YOUR LOVE • Edit Purple Mix (4:49) – Edited presentation of Prince's Purple Mix. • Extended Remix (10:43) – Full extended remix. • Part One (Purple Mix) (5:51) – First section of the Purple Mix. • Part Two (Purple Mix) (3:07) – Second section of the Purple Mix. Other configurations of the single included the album or single version alongside He's The Boy, Think (1989) and promotional interview material. RELEASE HISTORY The UK single was released on October 30, 1989 through Arista Records. Multiple configurations were subsequently available across 7", 12", CD and promotional formats, with the Prince remixes distributed differently according to edition and territory.

- Rosie Gaines (October 30, 1995) – I Want U Single UK: CD / 12"
Released in the UK on October 30, 1995, I Want U was the first single connected with Rosie Gaines' solo album Closer Than Close. The UK issue followed the song's earlier US release on May 9, 1995. Issued through Motown, the single appeared across several configurations and became particularly notable for the large number of alternate mixes created around the song. The 1995 campaign encompassed commercial CD and 12" editions alongside promotional pressings, with different combinations of mixes appearing across territories and formats. The release also has a direct Prince connection. Prince co-wrote I Want U, although the supplied information states that Prince did not perform as a musician on the recording. CD Maxi single - Germany - 860 387-2 RECORDING The supplied information identifies Prince as a co-writer of I Want U, but does not credit Prince as a performer. The single campaign substantially expanded the original recording through numerous remixes, including the Purple Version, Earth Mama Version, Weekend Mix, M&M Anthem Mix, Whistles In Heaven Mix and Notice The House Mix. CD Maxi single - Germany - 860 387-2 STYLE & THEMES The extensive remix programme placed I Want U within several different dance-oriented settings. Rather than presenting a single definitive treatment across every format, the release campaign offered numerous reinterpretations, edits, instrumentals and extended versions. This approach continued beyond the original 1995 campaign, with additional mixes and reissues appearing in 2000, 2005 and 2009. CD single (Cardboard) - Germany - 860 386-2 TRACK-BY-TRACK NOTES • I Want U (Purple Version) (3:36) – Principal version appearing across several of the original 1995 editions. • I Want U (Earth Mama Version) (6:34) – Extended alternate treatment included on the European CD and UK 12". • I Want U (Earth Mama Version Edit) (4:37) – Shortened version included on the US CD. • I Want U (Earth Mama Version Instrumental) (5:01) – Instrumental variation issued on the US CD and UK promotional vinyl. • I Want U (M&M Anthem Mix) (7:26) – Extended mix appearing on the UK CD and 12". • I Want U (Weekend Mix) (9:35) – One of the longest mixes issued during the original campaign. • I Want U (Whistles In Heaven Mix) (5:46) – Promotional mix appearing on CD and vinyl configurations. • I Want U (Notice The House Mix) (5:42) – Promotional house mix. • I Want U (Bonus Vocal Mix) (6:41) – Vocal mix distributed through promotional versions. 12" - UK - 860 485-1 RELEASE HISTORY I Want U was initially released in the United States on May 9, 1995. The UK release followed on October 30, 1995. The single preceded Closer Than Close and was issued worldwide in a variety of configurations. Several remixes were distributed across the original CD, 12" and promotional releases. The campaign continued well beyond 1995. The single was revisited in 2000 with further remix editions, while selections from the earlier material were subsequently issued digitally during 2005. Further mixes appeared on I Want U – The Mixes, Vol. 2 in 2009.

- Mayte (October 31, 1995) – If I Love U 2night Single UK: CD / 12"
CD single - Germany - 0061635NPG Released in the UK on October 31, 1995, If I Love U 2night was Mayte's first single directly associated with her work with Prince. The song had previously received a limited release through the New Power Generation Store in Minneapolis during spring/summer 1994, at which point it was not presented as part of a forthcoming album. The 1995 commercial release arrived shortly before Child Of The Sun and became the second and final commercial single associated with the album. The campaign expanded considerably upon the original limited edition, introducing new mixes and pairing the song with The Rhythm Of Your ♥. RELEASE DETAILS INFORMATION Artist Mayte Title If I Love U 2night UK Release Date October 30, 1995 Original Limited Release Spring/Summer 1994 Label NPG Records Main Formats CD / 12" / Cassette Related Releases 1-800 New Funk / Child Of The Sun UK Chart Peak No. 67 BACKGROUND & PRINCE CONNECTION The song became part of the wider collection of music written and produced by Prince for associated artists. Following its limited 1994 appearance, If I Love U 2night was included on 1-800 New Funk, the compilation devoted largely to Prince-related material performed by other artists. The track was subsequently reworked for Mayte's Child Of The Sun. The 1995 single campaign accompanied that later version and provided several additional mixes unavailable on the album itself. STYLE & VERSIONS A particularly interesting aspect of the release is the number of distinct presentations of If I Love U 2night. The 1995 editions encompassed the Album Version, Radio Edit and Spanish Version alongside the Lil' Cash Mix, Displacement Mix and Tweakin' Dub. The earlier 1994 release was different again, pairing If I Love U 2night with an early version of However Much U Want and a Spanish-language recording.

Its artwork did not identify an associated forthcoming album. That edition included If I Love U 2night, an early version of However Much U Want and the Spanish Version of the A-side. The artwork from this limited release was subsequently reproduced in the 1-800 New Funk booklet. The song returned in 1995 as part of the campaign surrounding Child Of The Sun. The UK release followed on October 30, 1995, appearing on CD, 12" and cassette configurations with different track selections.

- Dale Bozzio (October 31, 2010) – Make Love Not War Album: Digital
Make Love Not War is the third solo album by Dale Bozzio, released digitally on October 31, 2010 through Electrik Blue Records and Blue Pie Records. The 74:40 collection brings together rare and previously unreleased recordings, with much of the material dating from 1991. For the Prince Chronicle, its particular significance is Take Me To Your Leader (Prince Mix), a track co-written by Dale Bozzio and Prince. The album was issued exclusively in digital form, with no known physical CD edition. RECORDING Much of the material collected on Make Love Not War was recorded during 1991. Specific studio information is not supplied. Prince's precise musical contribution to Take Me To Your Leader is not identified in the supplied information. The released version is identified as the Prince Mix, with Prince's remix credit described in the source material as assumed rather than confirmed. The track also incorporates a sampled bass performance by Raymond Earl from I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl). STYLE & THEMES Make Love Not War functions partly as an archival collection, bringing together rare, alternate and previously unreleased Dale Bozzio recordings rather than presenting an entirely newly recorded 2010 project. Multiple versions of Simon Simon and The Motorcycle Song appear alongside previously unreleased material, while Take Me To Your Leader (Prince Mix) provides the album's direct connection to Prince. The collection also follows Bozzio's earlier Riot In English, which contained another Prince-related recording, So Strong. RELEASE HISTORY Make Love Not War was released digitally on October 31, 2010. No physical CD edition is known to have been released. A digital booklet accompanied the project. The album produced no singles, although Simon Simon had previously been released in connection with Bozzio's earlier solo album Riot In English. The album did not chart.
