Ingrid Hoeben Ⓥ 🇧🇪After finishing #wally, Prince ordered engineer Susan Rogers to erase all channels on the 24-stem recording, against her pleas not to. A new version was then recorded 2 days afterwards.
The original version was a solo recording dealing with Prince’s break-up with #SusannahMelvoin, and thanking Wally Safford for being his friend. Allegedly #prince felt the song was too personal, however, and kept adding layers of percussion and changing the feel of the track.
